Using the attachments facility, I thought I would start a thread where posters can put up pictures they like, it can be art, or photographs, or as here a vintage poster
-
Good idea - I have always been fascinated by this painting which used to hang in the National Gallery (it still might, but I haven't been for far too long a time). It is the use of candlelight and shade that I like rather than the actual subject matter.
Gerard van Honthorst - Christ before the High Priest
-
Yes, I love paintings with that sort of portrayal of light. Here is one of my favourites which hangs in the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow. Rembrandt's Man In Armour

I've never been good with heights - and old pictures, like this one, of workers building skyscrapers are terrifying to me.

Album covers are a rich vein.
I give you what I think is King Crimson's finest hour*(both musically and pictorially), In the Wake of Poseiden:
(* this is upto 1975 when Fripp disbanded KC - I am less familiar with their later work when they reformed from 1981 onwards)

As of course are film posters. One of the things I enjoy about TalkingPictures TV is they put stuff on Twitter with posters for upcoming films

We're doomed, doomed. Like Trentvoyager, it's not the religious context that I like; simply the magnificent drama of the scene. (https://www.tate.org.uk/art/images/research/1226_9.jpg)

I rather like this one of Damian Hirst's Verity which I took at Ilfracombe earlier this year:
-
That is very good. I feel a Hirst off coming on. This from 3 years ago:
PS just noticed it is sideways - but when you click to enlarge it ends up the correct way up and very large!

'Rene Lalique "Silenes" Vase ,1938
Crafted of both clear and frosted glass in the expressive Silenes pattern created by Lalique, this vessel features a repeating design of the Greek god Pan. The god of the wild is intertwined with dense vines in high relief and washed in a light gray patina, and it is a superb example of Lalique’s love of both natural and mythical forms.'

Stockport viaduct from Wellington bridge in the early 60s. The bloke in the hat is LS Lowry. This is the view I remember from my childhood and youth in Stockport. It had a certain charm, but bloody planners have ruined it. The graceful curve of the road has disappeared under a bus station, and the Victorian terrace and group of industrial buildings were demolished long ago.
-
The same view today. The steps are nowadays unofficially known as "The Lowry Steps".

Amulet of Horus as a falcon wearing the Pschent or Double Crown of Egypt.
The Middle Kingdom in Egypt is generally regarded as the zenith of Egyptian jewelry making. The jewelers of the royal court produced items of exquisite simplicity and elegant design from rare and exotic materials. Many motifs that had heretofore been reserved exclusively for the king’s regalia were adopted by the upper classes. An iconic example is this amulet of the falcon god, Horus.

'Phoebe Anna Traquair (1852-1936) was an Irish-born artist who was an influential member of the Arts and Crafts movement in Scotland during the late 1800s and early 1900s and one of the first woman artists in Scotland to gain professional recognition.
She practiced a wide range of disciplines including embroidery, manuscript illumination, enamelwork, furniture decorations, murals, watercolours, and easel paintings.
This is a detail from her Progress of a Soul - The Victory, one of four panels of richly detailed embroidery she created between the years 1899 and 1902. In this fourth panel, the human soul is represented by a young man dressed in an animal skin who, after death, is reborn into eternal life, awoken with a kiss from a red haired, red winged seraph, suggesting he has entered the realm of heaven.
The panels were first exhibited at the 1903 Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society in London where they were much admired by critics and public.'

Where Gordon and I usually meet.
'Blackfriars Street, named after the Dominicans or "black friars" who established a convent in the area. It is now a trendy part of the Merchant City, with pubs and restaurants such as Babbity Bowster, pictured here c 1990, and converted warehouses like the adjacent red sandstone property.
The building now known as Babbity Bowster was erected in the 18th-century as a town house. It has been attributed to both Robert and James Adam. Like many properties in the area, it lay derelict for many years before it was converted to a hotel and pub, opening in 1986. The original Roman Doric doorway has been retained, with the rest of the building restored in the style of the original house.
"Babbity Bowster" was an old Scottish country dance which was often used to finish off a ball; it also became a children's game with different rules in various parts of the country. "Babbity" means "bob" and "bowster" was the wheel-shaft in a watermill.'
