摘要

For a child, a box of crayola crayonscan be a wondrous thing. When I was in elementary school, I was particularly taken with burnt sienna. It was neither brown nor red, but seemed taken from the earth, and it had the most beautiful name. I was reminded of my early curiosity and respect for that color recently, as I stood on top of the walls of Siena's Museo dell'Opera, high above the Piazza del Duomo, and looked out over the city spread below. At first, all I saw was a dull sea of brown, but then it began to take shape and gain heft. The brown became warmer, redder, and splintered into dozens of tones. I thought of burnt sienna, and suddenly the association between a crayon and a city did not seem silly or strange. Afterward, walking through the cramped streets of the town's historic center, I saw echoes of the color everywhere. There were the brick-red chevrons of the sloping Piazza del Campo, the town's spectacular medieval square, and the Palazzo Pubblico, burnished in afternoon light. Apartment buildings were sepia, their undulating roofs an orangey red. In the middle of such a rich but narrow chromatic range, Siena's magnificent black-and-white-striped cathedral, the Duomo di Siena, stood out even more awesomely than it would in the drabness of another city. It was a zebra amid roans, a monument to God amid the buildings of men.
