A lovely original work, a flowing watercolour and pastel with pencil and wax crayon giving us a Piper-eye view of the ruins of the ‘Baths of Caracalla’ in near the Appian Way in Rome. I am immensely grateful for the following description to Hugh Fowler-Wright, the well-known Piper expert and co-author (with David Fraser Jenkins), of ‘The Art of John Piper’, published by Unicorn and the Portland Gallery in 2015: ‘John Piper visited Rome for 3 weeks in mid-February 1961 to produce enough work for a commissioned exhibition at the Arthur Jeffress Gallery in May 1962. This is one of many on the spot works – unlike some of the larger oils made back home in his Fawley Bottom studio – where he is focussed on capturing the feeling for the time and the place rather than any particular topographical accuracy. In such a brief visit Piper concentrated on depicting well-known locations and features. Here he summarises the substantial brick Baths of Caracalla which were originally built in AD 216 in a 60 acre former garden for the daily use by over 6,000 bathers. It was subsequently abandoned, some 300 years later, then damaged by an earthquake and plundered for the bricks and stones for newer buildings elsewhere. The layering of natural and enforced decay onto a former magnificent structure would have been the irresistible factors that drew Piper to the location. Piper places the bulk of the surviving Bath house in the upper centre viewed across roads and garden. The whole technique is deliberately rapid to capture impressions of the ancient remains nestled in the ever changing encroaching nature and city.’ Built between 212 and 216 the baths were completed under the direction of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus, more commonly known as Emperor Caracalla. Covered with marble and decorated with valuable works of art, the Baths of Caracalla were the most sumptuous and most spectacular thermal complexes to be built in ancient times. The baths served as inspiration for many other notable buildings, both ancient and modern including the Baths of Diocletian, the Basilica of Maxentius, the original Penn(sylvania) Station in New York City, Chicago Union Station and the Senate of Canada Building.

Success as a barber is all about the final impression — those close-up details that keep clients coming back to your chair. That’s why we’re proud to unveil the Wahl 5 Star Vanish Shaver.
With our first independent suspension cutting system to hug every neck and facial contour, and micro thin gold foils, you’re ensured a clean finish and a smooth shave without bumps or irritation. The 5 Star Vanish features individual pop-out foil cartridges that can be easily replaced or rotated, which means you can cut costs by replacing single foils instead of the whole shaver head.
With a premium lithium-ion battery that packs 100+ minutes of power on a single charge, a smart LED fuel gauge, rest assured that your new favourite shaver is always at the ready.
The 5 Star Vanish is ergonomically designed with finger grips for comfort and confidence through every finish. For pros on the go, the Travel Lock option keeps the 5 Star Vanish from accidentally turning on and draining power.
Looking for a reason to upgrade your shaver game? The 5 Star Vanish is it. While it makes hair disappear, it will provide the finish everyone wants to see.
