These UNESCO World Heritage Site Art Prints are inspired by my travels to some of those stunning and culturally important places. I’ve yet to see a UNESCO designated heritage site that wasn’t worthy of seeing. From ancient ruins to living cities, each one of these sites is significant to our collected human heritage. These UNESCO World Heritage Site art prints are eye catching wall art and great decor for the world traveler in your family. Or for that matter, cool gifts for the armchair archaeologist and others who love the rich culture of our world.
If you’ve ever been to New York City, there’s little doubt you took the time to visit one of its most famous citizens, the Statue of Liberty. Rising out of the waters of the harbor, she’s a most majestic sight to say the least! Prior to my first actual visit, I had seen the Statue…
Granted, The Statue of Liberty alone qualifies as patriotic art, but I wanted this artwork to go a step further, and I think you would agree the result is bold and colorful! This print is based on my first in person view of Lady Liberty rising out of the waters of New York Harbor. As…
The streets of historic Oaxaca have called to me every since my brief stay there. I rang in the New Year on those beautiful streets and have wondered every since if Oaxaca is as charming the rest of the year? My hunch is yes, but I really want to put that to the test some…
This Edinburgh castle print was aimed at capturing the magical beauty of the Scottish castle as it appears when approaching via the Royal Mile. You can see Edinburgh Castle perched on the top of Castlehill from all over the city, of course, but walking up the narrow winding streets of Old Town, you catch only…
I think it was a combination of the incredible skies and the beautiful Spanish baroque architecture of the Church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán that kept bringing me back to this little plaza in the heart of historic Oaxaca. I was never sure if the skies in Oaxaca were extra beautiful while I was there…
Visiting the Teotihuacan Ruins was an amazing experience. Like I suspect most who have been, I will never forget climbing both the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon. The climb to the top of the Pyramid of the Sun was by far the more taxing, but it was the nearly aerial…
After a few visits to Mexico, it seems like Baroque Mexican churches are part and parcel of the landscape of most Mexican cities. In fact, I’ve seen much the same of my visits further south into Latin American and have heard it’s basically the signature style of most of the Spanish Colonial period churches. And…
Oaxaca is a city known for its rich stock of authentic Spanish Colonial architecture. And, as you can see from this print, Oaxaca has much in common with the rest of Mexico. It’s a city that simply has no fear of vibrant colors. Just look at this one city block with great orange, gold, and…
Mexico City was an experience unto itself. The only city I’ve visited that I think I could compare to Mexico City is Cairo. Both places were frenetic but packed with history. I was there such a short time but the general vibe and the gorgeous old architecture has left me wanting to return. This beautiful…
This Chichen Itza pyramid is undoubtedly one of the most well known of the Mayan temples and virtually synonymous with a visit to the Yucatan peninsula. No doubt, most visitors to this part of Mexico probably turn up at the gates to Chichen Itza at some point during their trip. It’s practically a required stop…
Whatever the time of day, the sweeping modern lines of the Louvre pyramid are pretty impressive, but as night fell… Well, I believe that literally and figuratively, that massive glass pyramid shines as the sun goes down and the golden lights of the Louvre come to life. Doesn’t it look like a massive crystal glowing…
Having seen the Mayan architecture at Chichen Itza first, Uxmal felt much different from the very moment I entered the site and saw the imposing mass of the Magician’s Pyramid towering over me. And this structure is very much a different style of architecture. Where the pyramids at a place like Chichen Itza are very…
The inspiration from art can sometimes come from unexpected places. During my own Mayan adventure at Palenque, I was photographing the ruins of the Temple of the Inscriptions. In fact, I had just finished when this young adventurer appeared out of nowhere dashing into the scene for his own look, and, I think, a photo…
Having visited Edinburgh, Scotland twice, it holds a special place in my heart as does the beautiful castle in this print. Edinburgh Castle sits at the top of the Royal Mile. And on my last night in that beautiful Scottish city, I had to make one last walk up to the castle before going back…
I love historic old architecture. The craftsmanship of these old buildings and how they are adapted to the places they are built always fascinates me. So, I have to admit when I stood on this corner across from the old Templo y Convento de San Agustín in Oaxaca, my first thought was was wishing I…
The first time I had a real taste of the Mayan Mystery was standing before the Temple of Kukulkan at Chichen Itza some years ago. I had long been interested in the Mesoamerican cultures and the artifacts they left behind, but no amount of reading seems to prepare one for the feeling of standing before…
This festive Mexico scene is courtesy of my brief stay in Oaxaca. My time in this beautiful city was just enough to whet the appetite. It’s packed with lovely old Spanish Colonial architecture. It was truly a city where I felt like I stumbled over one picturesque street corner after another. In fact this print…
Sometimes the magic of the moment is an art unto itself like this beautiful bell tower print from New Year’s day in Mexico several years ago. It was, as you can tell, a beautiful day and my last in the city of Oaxaca. One last chance to take in the sights before a night bus…
When I planned my week in Mérida several years ago, high on my list of things to do was to see the Chichen Itza ruins. Those amazing Mayan temples had long been on my radar. There’s something about the architectural style of ancient Mesoamerica that has long spoken to me. There’s just something exotic and…
I can’t imagine many modern cities where the Eiffel Tower could work to such great effect. Plant the Eiffel Tower in many modern cities and that grand beauty would be yet another tall building. The skyline of central Paris has a fairly consistent height because there have historically been restrictions of 121 feet (37m). As…
On the day we left Luxor, we got an early start to arrive at Karnak Temple just as it opened. The morning light on those ancient Egyptian ruins was simply golden and dazzling. The light of a new day is such a stark contrast with the twilight of this ancient architecture. By the time we…
This golden Egypt print is courtesy of a ridiculously early bus to Abu Simbel. I would love to say that’s just how dedicated I am to catching the golden light of morning, but it’s really down to being how one gets to Abu Simbel from Aswan by road. For security concerns, the cars and buses…
It’s been so long since I visited the Egyptian ruins on the Island of “Philae” that I’m honestly not sure if I knew then that they had connections to ancient Rome or not? I put Philae in quotes because the real sacred island of Philae rests beneath the waters of Lake Aswan today. When the…
Seeing the great pyramids on the Giza plateau is truly like looking at a guidebook written in antiquity. When the ancient Greeks were listing the Seven Wonders of their world, the pyramids were already ancient marvels. And flash forward a couple of thousands years more, those same pyramids are the only remaining wonder of the…
It is funny that when I look at this photo of the Luxor ruins, I don’t think of the modern Egyptian city that surrounds it. On that first afternoon in Luxor when I saw it bathed in the golden light of the afternoon sun, it felt utterly separate from the city around it. Almost as…
The ancient Egyptian ruins at Abu Simbel are notable for many reasons. In antiquity, the massive temple you see in this black and white print was carved from a solid mountain to honor the pharaoh, Ramses The Great. Ramses II reigned for over 60 years, a period in which he built temples and cities on…
It was a long dark ride to see Abu Simbel, one of the ancient temples built to honor Ramses The Great. It’s worth noting that of all the pharaohs of Egypt, Ramses II was the only one to be styled The Great. And in his nearly seven decade rule, he certainly left behind a monumental…
It’s mind boggling how much truly ancient history stands on the streets of modern Egypt. Never mind the treasures that may still lie beneath the desert sands waiting to be discovered. By the time we reached Luxor, we had seen so many Egyptian temples and still had more to come. Running low on time, I…
Visiting Saint Catherine’s Monastery at the foot of Mount Sinai was an amazing experience. Santa Katarina is one of the oldest Christian monasteries in the world. It was ordered to be built by Emperor Justinian in 565 AD. The high walls of this ancient monastery protected it across the centuries. Until modern times the only…
I have it on decent authority that the statue seen here in the ruins of Karnak Temple represented none other than King Tut, also known as Pharaoh Tutankhamun. I hate to admit for years that I couldn’t recall that detail about this golden statue I saw early one morning during my Egyptian adventure. We were…
