Here is another mural of sorts from the Humboldt Box. Both Humboldt Brothers loved to travel and learn about other peoples and their culture. This painting is meant to show the influences of their non-European travels on their thinking.
It's Monday again! After a few days of blue skies last week, we had a gray and cold weekend. It didn't stop me from enjoying Hertha's win at the Olympiastadion and a round of golf, but I do hope spring is coming soon. I'm linking this post with Monday Mural.
Snowing again here today. Low 72F (22C) by late this week.
ReplyDeleteLucky you! It was only around 5c and gray this weekend. Today it's getting up to 8c. I'm dreaming of the teens or twenties!
DeleteVery Buddhist. Many of the figures look like apsara, Buddhist angels.
ReplyDeleteSpring is due today!
ReplyDeleteLovely ceiling by the way
a trip to Asia
ReplyDeleteSpring is on the way!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Bob very crowded with ladylike Buddha's but not in an unpleasant way.
ReplyDeleteI can see many influences here Hal, brought together perfectly by using black and white, although a tiny touch of red would have been good :)

ReplyDeleteVery Asian in its look.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly does look very Asian.
ReplyDeleteAdore this post! I hope Spring finds you very soon
ReplyDeleteA lyric art with asian charm. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMakes me think of a Zentangle. It is very pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove the mural...really will have to revisit Berlin:)
ReplyDeleteThat's a fine mural. Has a strong Japanese flavor, I think.
ReplyDeletebeautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou got a good angle on that ceiling. It looks like a wall mural.
ReplyDeleteI hope your weather improves soon. Spring is so on and off, isn't it?!
I love the detail with a oriental feeling to it.
ReplyDeleteI'm not up on my Buddhist iconography but I do know a little about the Humboldts. There's a river in Nevada named after Alexander and street in Oaxaca named for him as well. What an adventurer. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
