subject: Time-tested Classical Art Adds Color And Character To Your Home [print this page] If you prefer a more traditional approach to decorating your home, youll love the Classical Art Prints offered by Blue Horizon Prints. Art that has stood the test of time, and still has appeal today, after sometimes hundreds of years, can add interest to any room in the house or apartment. Those who enjoy a strictly classical approach to art will want to hang Vermeers Girl With a Pearl Earring or Bouguereaus Dante and Virgil in Hell to their art collection. A dramatic moment, http://www.bluehorizonprints.com.au/canvas_art/8/53/product_details/, shows the author and his Roman guide as they observe the underworld.
The Impressionistic art movement produced some of the finest and most memorable paintings ever. Rather than paying strict attention to minute detail, Impressionists such as Monet, Degas, and Van Gogh sought to capture the overall impression you would get when first coming upon a pond or stepping into a dance hall in the Moulin Rouge. Impressionist art was, in part, a celebration of the ordinary world around us, and shows us how extraordinary it actually is.
When looking at Poppy in the Field by Cassatt, we are given the opportunity to enjoy this field filled with the red blossoms of poppies. Three people are also enjoying the prospect and the child in the foreground is evidently beginning to pick some of the flowers for a bouquet. Were drawn by the red poppies up through these fields to the horizon that is dominated by an expanse of wispy clouds in a pale blue sky. Undoubtedly, one of the most famous of Impressionistic paintings is Starry Night by Van Gogh. The cedars along the left side of the work reach up into a sky filled with swirls and throbbing stars. A crescent moon sheds yellow light to the right, while below this living and moving universe, a small town sleeps quietly, perhaps protected by the surrounding hills. Its not hard to imagine lying outside on a clear night and watching the heavens dance above you, as the artist no doubt did when getting inspiration for this painting.
Classical canvas prints by Blue Horizon are developed from the original works themselves; these are not copies of copies. The result is a work as fresh and vibrant as it was when it left the artists easel. Landscapes as well as human subjects are available as canvas prints, and the full range can be viewed at http://www.bluehorizonprints.com.au/canvas_art/8/products/. You can choose to have your print either with a white edging or wrapped, which means that the painting itself is carried along onto the edges of the canvas. A choice of sizes for the canvas prints, from small to x-large means that you can assemble your own home gallery with no trouble whatsoever.
