These street scenes and city scenes art prints are a collection of artwork that offer smaller vignettes of cities. They feature glimpses of buildings and brief moments of the fleeting lives of the people who are the life blood of the city. These city scenes art prints range from big cities to small towns. These streets scenes could be crowded or empty, but there’s always a vivid sense of place and mood. There is sometimes a sense of being there even while looking at these prints in your own living room.
As much as I love rural landscapes, I have an equal affection for the built environment. They are two sides of the human experience. I hope you’ll enjoy your time spent browsing the artwork on display here. I consider this a beautiful collection of wall art whether you have been to the places depicted or just love people-watching and architecture.
I will never forget visiting the Egyptian Village of Daraw seen in this print. Understandably, much of our visit through Egypt was crisscrossing the paths of so many tourists before us. It’s a taste of Egyptian life, but not the same as seeing a city relatively unaffected by the tourist trade. On our journey on…
I truly love featuring historic places like Key West’s Sloppy Joe’s Bar. For those not familiar with the history of Key West, this was a haunt of Ernest Hemingway himself. The present bar on Duval Street and the original on Green Street were both owned by one of Hemingway’s friends, Joe Russell. In fact, it’s…
Paris is one of those places that’s simply gorgeous, but I think evening in Paris is especially so and was the inspiration fro this painting. The dusk skies and the glowing Paris Metro sign say Parisian to me. They speak of the art nouveau architecture that drips through Paris like droplets of water after a…
The unassuming Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini is probably well known to many have been to Rome. It’s the church with the famous bone crypt. That crypt decorated with the bones of Capuchin monks is said to have inspired many similar ossuaries in Europe. And it’s a strangely artistic use of the mortal remains…
This print of the Wheatley Administration Building on the campus of Georgia Southwestern State University in Americus is a special one to me. After all, this is where I spent my undergrad years in college! Well, not in this building of course, but I certainly think it represents the campus in my mind. Georgia Southwestern…
Even if you’ve never eaten at the Majestic Diner in Atlanta, there’s something about Art Deco architecture that’s likely to bring an unconscious smile to your face. And I think that’s particularly true about Streamline Moderne, of which the Majestic Diner is an example. The Majestic Diner has a sign that says it’s been serving…
On my last trip to London, I was walking along the Strand when I happened to spot a vintage double-decker bus in operation. It was one of the old AEC Routemasters and it was heading up the street! I love the really classic vintage feel of those old buses. Never mind the bright red color!…
I don’t know if there were genuinely a lot of different documentaries airing about the ancient Roman Pantheon right before I left for Italy. Or was I simply ‘finding’ them all because each one further fired my enthusiasm for that trip. Whatever the case, I watched documentary after documentary and read even more about the…
The Altare della Patria seems to be a surprisingly complicated aspect of modern day Rome. It was built over the span of decades around the start of the 20th century to honor Victor Emmanuel, the first king of a unified Italy. The monument also known as Il Vittoriano was built to symbolize national unification of…
For decades, Atlanta has been a growing city constantly paving over and building up, so it’s always a pleasure to know that there are some pieces of Atlanta history – of the old Atlanta – that are still there. A perfect example of a surviving landmark is Mary Mac’s Tea Room. This Atlanta tradition opened…
There is an inherent beauty in an Italian piazza that seems to shine forth even under stormy and dramatic skies. Maybe it’s the rich texture of the old buildings or their Mediterranean colors? Perhaps it’s the air of history, but whatever it is, every time I look at this print of Piazza della Rotonda, I…
Salem was an easy day trip out of Boston and was everything I had expected down to the Classic New England homes that lined the streets of the historic village. I had been to Massachusetts before but on that trip I hadn’t explored any further than Boston. There are after all a wealth of things…
On my last trip to Boston, I decided to stay out in Brookline near the intersection of Harvard and Beacon Streets. It seemed like a great way to get a better taste of the local flavor just a little removed from downtown. It was the midst of winter as I wandered those cold New England…
There was just something about the architecture of Five Hundred Boylston Street in the heart of Boston. It spoke to me. I loved the towering graphic lines and all intersecting lines of the paving stones in the courtyard at the base of that Boston skyscraper. As I stood there on busy Boylston Street watching people…
On my last visit to London, I had a somewhat unique opportunity, at least for those of us who don’t call London home. On my first day there, the street that crosses Westminster Bridge by the Palace of Westminster was closed to vehicles. I had apparently just missed some sort of street race. I don’t…
There’s a familiar vibe to the streets of small southern towns for anyone who grew up in one. They feel like unchanging places in the southern landscape. And for the small towns like little Leary, Georgia, that are far from the suburbs of any large city, the slow pace of life does seem undiminished. My…
Sometimes the most unexpected objects can become the subjects of artwork. A fire hydrant might seem incredibly utilitarian to many of us. It’s one of those utilitarian things that is mainly in the domain of firefighters. Yet when I saw this colorful fire hydrant on the streets of Asheville, I stopped and took notice. I…
There are some buildings and places that stick with us from an early age. For me, the Windsor Hotel, seen in this print, fits that category. Although I didn’t grow up in Americus, Georgia, it was near my hometown. So near in fact, that I later attended and graduated from the local university in Americus….
The English village of St Albans in Hertfordshire has a long history going back to Roman times. In fact so far back that the village is named for a Christian martyred by there the Romans. In medieval times, the village was was an overnight stop on the coach route to London. Trains have shortened the…
One of the things I love about London is that it’s a city unafraid to be modern. Some cities with the amount of ancient landmark architecture that London has start trying to build to fit a theme. You might expect London City Hall to be some massive medieval building or perhaps a rambling Tudor design….
There’s a Timeless London quality to gazing across the river at the great dome of St. Paul’s cathedral. It’s one of those iconic sights that surpasses the lives of people. You have likely seen iconic photos of St. Paul’s rising above the smoke and debris of World War II and it feels like an enduring…
On my last day in Ireland, the sun was really out in full force. It wasn’t one of those days where the sun came and went but a rare day where the sun shone brightly from sunrise to sunset. I had gotten out of bed early that day and found myself enjoying early morning in…
This artwork of snow falling on Claddagh Quay was inspired by my first visit to Galway. We arrived in the city after dark on a winter evening. Shortly after getting settled in, we headed out for dinner and as soon as we hit the streets, dust swirled through the night sky. I’ve read that snow…
I had a great sunny winter afternoon for my visit to Salem, Massachusetts and I had the chance to take in the sights like the beautiful old Custom House when things were a bit more low-key. I have my suspicions, anyway, that January is not quite so busy as some other times of the year…
Wandering the streets of Boston’s Little Italy, I spotted this great street sign pointing the way to various Italian cities! I loved how that sign paid homage to the recent ethnic heritage of the neighborhood. The whimsical nature of Boston’s Little Italy was immediately apparent. The whimsical nature continues even in the direction the signs…
There are some landmarks that truly are recognized around the world. And Big Ben is truly not only a piece of Iconic London but a world recognized clock tower. And yes, for the Anglophiles out there, I’m aware that Big Ben is the name of the bell. The thing is, most anyone looking for a…
Is the design of the building pictured here familiar? If so, it’s because the Atlanta Flatiron shares its architecture with the more famous Flatiron Building in New York City. The Atlanta Flatiron, formally known as the English-American Building, is actually a few years older than its famous sibling. This little Flatiron was only Atlanta’s second…
This is one of the most famous churches in Britain, Westminster Abbey. This is a church whose history is literally intertwined with that of the British monarchy. Westminster Abbey has witnessed such historic events as the coronation of English kings and queens dating back to William The Conqueror in 1066. It’s also the final resting…
It’s funny how the subway systems of various big cities have a character and flavor all their own. For instance, London has the Tube, Paris has the Metro, and Boston has the T! I’ve been to Boston twice and relied on the T to get me around. I’m not hugely fond of driving anywhere let…
Boston was always on my list of places to see. What I had seen and heard about Boston intrigued me. I love cities with rich, long histories. When the fates aligned to give me the chance to see Boston first-hand, I was not disappointed. On my first afternoon roaming the Boston Harbor waterfront I happened…
