Painted Doorways (entry 4)

I thought these doors were interesting. These top three doors are from the Villa Farnese, a large house from the Renaissance period. While these doors are real, the pillars and seemingly 3D embellishment around them are painted on the walls. 



 These two doors in the Villa D'Este, a large Renaissance estate outside of Rome famous for it's fountain gardens. The doors are actually not doors at all, but part of the wall mural.
