Agra Fort, From the collection of: Archaeological Survey of India
I love the architecture of Agra Fort... The black and white give an eerie feel but one that is comforting as well. I can literally picture someone standing in the doorway to the right of the picture.
Taj Mahal, Larry Burrows, 1967, From the collection of: LIFE Photo Collection
The sun setting over Taj Mahal makes for a beautiful piece!
Gallery of Arms, Fausto and Giuseppe Bagatti Valsecchi, 1880 - 1885, From the collection of: Bagatti Valsecchi Museum
The Gallery of Arms. I was into armory and warriors and knights.. Especially as a kid. What I like the most about the pic, is the many different weapons and of course the one armor that you see!
The Fall of the Cowboy, Frederic Remington, 1895, From the collection of: Amon Carter Museum of American Art
Cowboys on horse back gives me a sense of adventure, freedom... especially with the colors being grays and whites and the people being darkened out. It suggests that something is wrong.
Murder of Edith Cavell, George Bellows, 1918, From the collection of: Amon Carter Museum of American Art
Murder of Edith Cavell shows the commotion, fear and sadness and the darkness of the painting reflect it well. The shadows are darker except on one person.
Cliffs of Green River, Thomas Moran, 1874, From the collection of: Amon Carter Museum of American Art
Another painting that gives off a sense of freedom though in in this painting the colors are brighter. It shows a single man, riding alone through the water with the no one else but the open space.
Castillo Marroquín: An Informal Study of the Hybrid Architecture, Vol. 1-The Narco -Architecture and its Contributions to the Community-Cali-Bogotá, Colombia, Luis Molina-Pantin, 2004/2005, From the collection of: Museum of Latin American Art
I love this! I love Castles and how they are built- the architecture is amazing!
Peonies, Sakakibara Shiho, 1938, From the collection of: Adachi Museum of Art
Simple and beautiful. Just like my answer.
Larvik by Moonlight, Johan Christian Dahl, 1839, From the collection of: The National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design, Norway
The Burning of the Houses of Lords and Commons, October 16, 1834, Joseph Mallord William Turner, English, 1775 - 1851, 1834-1835, From the collection of: Philadelphia Museum of Art
The fire at the moment is burning houses and landscape but in return its the water who will create new life. Its a powerful painting.
Architectural Fantasy, 1760, Hubert Robert, 1760, From the collection of: Albertina Museum
A Palace, painted in a way thats both appealing and magical. The shadows and the light look real and the Ladies gathered in the garden make the painting come alive. 1760s style.
ps. love the 1760s.
Knight at the Crossroads, Victor Vasnetsov, 1882, From the collection of: The State Russian Museum
Another powerful painting which reveals a Knight in his darkest hours. I get the sense that he is missing a friend/family. The way his spear is lowered reveals an internal defeat.
The Queen Elizabeth Gate, Paul Sandby RA, 1731–1809, British, 1767, From the collection of: Yale Center for British Art
I have a thing for arch-ways and this one is awesome! Where can I get one for my house?
Upnor Castle, Kent, Henry Pether, active 1828–1865, British, ca. 1850, From the collection of: Yale Center for British Art
