Splendid Structures: Yale University Art Gallery – Christ art, Art from Asia, UK and America, New Haven, CT

For posts on all structures such as temples, churches and building I have come across, go here.

Prologue: A series that showcases the large statues, beautiful temples and churches I visit in my travels or I accidentally come across while taking an off-beaten path. And sometimes yes, I would include buildings and palaces too.

The beautiful artwork from various places focused on Christ and his life in most of the rooms. Some that struck a chord were: Ecche Homo from Portuguese;  Crucified Christ from Italy; Saint John the Baptist in the Wilderness from Italy; Virgin and Child with Saint Catherine and Nicholas from Italy.

Some pieces from Asia, UK and America that mesmerized me were: Field Horses; Traditional Shadow Puppet Theater in Java; India Trade Textile from India; Dewi Sri and her consort Sadono from Indonesia; Chinese Mirrors; More coins from America; The Naseby Cup from London; Nobel Prize Medal for Literature from 1936; American Bank Note; Footprints of Buddha; Some Lord from India.
