The little towers above, with the turquoise-blue columns, show a most daring use of color when you consider the colors below, but how admirably that turquoise blue works onto the domes and the blue columns of The Tower of Jewels.
The longer you look at the Italian Towers the more you come to feel their subtle connection with the beauties around.
Only a genius could manipulate his colors as Jules Guerin has done in this splendid work before you.
The repeated cartouche in turquoise blue has a most lovely effect upon the whole.
Poised on the top of the Italian Towers is The Fairy (by Carl Gruppe).
She looks afar and sees the vision of this wondrous Exposition.
