TODAY'S IMAGE: MAY 10, 2012
I have no information on this image other than it was painted by someone called Moran in 1894. Instanbul? Rome? I do not know where this is but I do know that it is exquisite and very calming. Please enlarge to enjoy...
Hey Noor...In case you never found where and what the painting was. I searched the pic and came up with this>>>>> Thomas Moran AMERICAN ART Watercolor was the ideal medium for the late nineteenth-century landscape painter Thomas Moran, a follower of the British painter J. M. W. Turner who was drawn to dramatic natural features in places such as Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon. In this view of the lagoon and central buildings constructed for the Chicago World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893—an extravagant, nationalistic salute to the westward advance of “civilization”—Moran bathed the scene in the glowing colors of a vivid sunset and violet shadows that might have seemed extreme if rendered in oils. www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/objects/2791. Steve...Lakeside Ca. See ya.
