the front of the building, it is dark naples yellow , lots of art nouveau flourishes in it, at the top the letters read 'hotel' and underneath 'grand europa hotel'

one of the centerpiece windows, it is curved outwards, dark red framing, dark naples yellow around it , gold and floral art nouveau designs around it and running through it

a lobby inside, arched ceilings around the support posts, white and yellow with green, a really cool atmosphere

a view from low of one of the ceilings, tones of gold and hanging minimalist designed chandeliers

a sculpture in a nook in the wall, I forget the technical term for the type of wall nook that displays sculptures of spiritual kinds, this one is of a young angel curving around the back of an older man, his robes flowing, designs carved in the framing of the nook, the man is amazed at the vision of the angel

a close-up of the man , he is leaning back against a rock, seated, looking up to the left at the angel surrounding him

a close-up of the angel and the man's face, seen from a low perspective, he has a beard and long hair, the angel has long hair

a photo of the entire piece, seen from the side of it, from the right side

'Perseus and Andromeda' by Charles-André van Loo (1740)

#art #arts #artgallery #artgalleries #myth #myths #mythology #arthistory #artlover #artlovers #museum #museums #artmuseum #artmuseums

a painting of a sea serpent, its head and jaws rising out of the water, its teeth sharp, a hero leaping at it, a maiden in loose robes is startled, leaning against rocks on the ocean, a blue sky and trees behind them

art from Nova #5, cover by Jack Kirby, interiors by Sal Buscema (1977)

a page from the comic book, a caped villain, strong and angry, is shouting to his henchmen around him

the villain is screaming as a giant red-orange robot with claw hands is emerging from a cavern, boulders falling, the earth cracking

nova is flying around doing battle with the robot, lots of motion and dynamism in the illustrations

a series of small figures , carved beautifully, of four people in white fabrics bringing gifts, i presume this is from a tomb, three of them are balancing the large boxes and pots on their heads, the other has a big conical shaped thing laying on his shoulder and he is holding another item, they are facing right

the figures seen from the front, from an angle, the left side
