Gallery Description
Architecture is what shapes our cities, our culture and our lives. Architecture has changed and evolved over the years. If you look back in history, you can see the distinct styles that also reflect the life and culture of people who lived at that time.
The style of classical architecture, which can be considered as old as formal writing, is characterized by the its elegant and elaborate foundations and forms. The architects at that time gave a lot of importance to symmetry and the buildings were symmetrical right down to the minutest detail. The use of flowers and other decorative forms were also prominent in this style of architecture.
Chinese architecture mainly focuses on symmetry and balance. The offices, temples and buildings have the main structure as the axis and the other structures are positioned as wings to either side of the main structure. The Chinese architecture is also noted for the styles of the temples and pagodas.
Each country has its distinct style of architecture and most of them were influenced in one way or other by the architecture from other countries.
Architectural paintings have also evolved with styles of architecture. Architecture paintings depict the beauty of architectural creations like homes, city scenes, historical monuments etc. The artist portrays the harmony of the architectural constructions by the brilliant use of colors, tones and space. Physical constructions, dull and decaying could be transformed into everlasting works of art, in these beautiful paintings.
This gallery on Architecture Limited Editions brings to you the beauty and warmth of architecture depicted in these wonderful paintings.
