monks

this early 1800s danish painting by christoffer eckersberg hangs in the art institute of chicago.  the geometry of the ceiling caught my eye, 

and then the details.  
things in the distance are less clear.
and tiny details like the reflection of the incoming sunlight on the pillars are complete.  
joy to you.

  1. I really love how you broke down the painting into these details. Things I would have missed you pointed out. It made me pay closer attention. Good job! ;)
