These world culture art prints are from places near and far but have a common bond in that they depict special places. Some of these places are historically significant places where events have unfolded in the past that shape us today. Others display heritage architecture. In many cases, these are UNESCO designated heritage sites while others are recognized by local or regional governments as being culturally significant in some way. These world culture art prints are great wall art for the historians, be they professional or or of the arm-chair variety.
When I made my plans to visit Italy, it was Roman Ruins I was after. Like many of us, I have always had an interest in ancient history. And Rome has long been at the center of that fascination. It’s interesting that years later, I have few memories of the long flight or indeed much…
I will never forget my ascent to the top of Saint Peter’s during my trip to Rome. There was an enthusiastic electricity in the air of the crowd I climbed with. Each cramped step inside the dome was filled with huffing, puffing, and laughter. Few of us spoke the same language, but we were united…
There’s something magical about the Trevi Fountain. It really screams La Dolce Vita to me! That’s the spirit of not just Rome, but Italy. It’s an Italian phrase that translates literally to The Sweet Life. The saying became well-known thanks to a 1960’s film that featured a scene at the beautiful baroque fountain – the…
One of my favorite haunts in Paris was the Historic Notre Dame de Paris. When you look at this cathedral rising on an island in the River Seine, you are looking at untold ages of history. This has been a sacred site since the ancient Romans built a temple to Jupiter on this island in…
The classic Eiffel Tower is one of those truly iconic structures that has probably been seen in print from every angle imaginable. It’s intimidating in a sense. When you stand before that classic piece of architecture, you can rest assured someone has stood there before and gazed at it. And someone has probably painted or…
I strolled past Notre Dame de Paris on many occasions during my short stay in Paris, but there was one extraordinarily sunny day when it all came together. I spent hours in and around the old Gothic church on that beautiful afternoon. As you can see from this Notre Dame cathedral panorama print, the sunlight…
I guess in a city as old as Paris, the Eiffel Tower is still the new kid on the block, but in my eyes, it feels like such an iconic piece of the city, as if its always been there. There was something about that timeless feeling that inspired this vintage Eiffel Tower print. This…
Even if you have never climbed to the roof of Notre Dame to see those very Parisian gargoyles looking across the skyline, it would be obvious that this print is of Paris! It only takes a second for your eyes to sweep across the rooftops below and spot the famous Eiffel Tower on the horizon…
During my brief stay in Paris, I stayed in Montmartre at the base of the hill leading up to the beautiful basilica of Sacré-Cœur. Each day, on my way out to explore Paris, I glanced up the hill to that gleaming travertine church at the top. In a way, I guess it being right there…
Paris at night is simply spectacular. On my first night there, I roamed the length of the Seine from Notre Dame to the Eiffel Tower. As I arrived after dark, I was somewhat blindly walking those historic river banks knowing only the start and the end of the trip. But even if I didn’t know…
My flight leaving Ireland for Paris was delayed and the winter days are so short. By the time I got checked in and headed out to really see Paris, night had fallen. On my first stop in Paris, I got to see Notre Dame by lamplight. On a winter night, it felt absolutely magical! Despite…
This beautiful Parisian Cherub is a decoration from the Pont Alexandre III. I was so overwhelmed by the ornate bridge that I don’t think I ever took in the whole bridge properly. There were just so many details to examine. This Parisian Cherub riding a sea monster is actually one of the more humble pieces…
Sometimes Paris feels like one big beautiful blur when I look back on my five nights there. With so little time and so much to see, I basically was on the move constantly. I walked the banks of the Seine seen in this Paris panorama print so many times I lost count. Those historic river…
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…
Several years ago I spent a couple of nights in Asheville, North Carolina. I was on a road trip bound for Virginia. In the end, as is often the case for me, I wished I had more time to explore the city. As you can tell from this print I was quite inspired by the…
Asheville is one of those unexpected treasures you discover. I had heard about Biltmore Estate of course and wanted to visit that gracious old estate. As I was heading to Virginia I decided that a couple of nights in Asheville wasn’t entirely out of the way. On my first evening in North Carolina, as 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…
This rambling old church pictured here is known to locals simply as The Abbey. Despite the moniker, St Albans Abbey is actually a cathedral of the Anglican church. It is known officially as The Cathedral & Abbey Church of Saint Alban. There’s a long religious history in St Albans going all the way back to…
This dramatic black and white print features Lanyon Quoit, a Neolithic dolmen in Cornwall. I’ve read that this ancient structure was likely a chamber tomb of some sort. Like many ancient sites, though, there’s no written record so nothing is entirely certain. Whatever the case there’s something in the air of places like this that…
On my last trip to the UK, one of my favorite experiences was drifting down the River Cam in Cambridge. Cambridge in general was a gorgeous city. Yet the side of Cambridge one sees from the river was by far my favorite. This is the side of Cambridge that locals refer to as The Backs….
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…
Just before I left Ireland, I had one last incredibly sunny day that just happened to coincide with a day trip out to see some of Ireland’s oldest and most fabled sites. Pictured here is one of those places, the legendary Hill of Tara. This high ground in County Meath has been a place of…
There’s just something about ancient standing stones and beautiful landscapes that lend themselves well to black and white art prints. And don’t you think this gorgeous Ancient Irish landscape in Count Kerry qualifies? This is the sort of scenic place that would be dramatic no matter what. Add some great winter light and a Neolithic…
Standing atop the fabled Hill of Tara in Ireland was an excellent end to my month in Ireland. And as you can tell from this Hill of Tara panorama print, the day couldn’t have been clearer or sunnier. It’s really hard to look back on this photo and believe that it was late January when…
I’ve been to Avebury circle, as seen in this print, twice. And I would happily go again and again. It’s truly a magical piece of British landscape. And historic to boot. We may never entirely understand the culture that produced the Neolithic monuments in Wiltshire and across Britain, but when you stand where they were…
Can you imagine anything more classically New England than this historic Salem print? The beautiful red Georgian house doesn’t just have that New England feel, it has a genuine pedigree as the Nathaniel Hawthorne birthplace. Hard to get more New England than that, eh? I stumbled over this beautiful red house bathed in golden winter…
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…
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…
It was not until my second trip to Edinburgh that I checked out historic Holyrood Palace in detail. As you can tell from this Edinburgh print, the baroque palace has a fairytale level of beauty. On the day I visited historic Holyrood, the weather was oscillating between frightful and beautiful. One moment, storms were blowing,…
