This is nicer. It also shows how the common folk living in the damaged buildings under the Colossus. Maybe they didn't want to tell that part of the story as it would take away from the wonder of the accomplishment.
Thank you. Yes the composition shows normal life and the spectacle of a wonder of the world. The statue only stood for 54 years until an earthquake in 226BC.
Alert! Alert! Fine art on CAF Alert! Congrats by the way!!
Yes fine art it is, luckily he was influenced by the great Fortunino Matania.
What a great present! Yeah, I prefer this one too. Years back I saw an alternate/prelim of the colored version, but I don't have a pic.
Yes a great present, thanks. That is very interesting regarding another alternate, if you come across this image or whereabouts I'd like to see it to add the info to my booklet.
By the way, you have a wonderful collection of Frankenstein artworks by Wrightson. Have you seen my Theodor von Holst engraving of Frankenstein's monster for the 1831 3rd edition of Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus?
Beautiful RGK Cities & Scenes drawing! Congrats and thanks for sharing!
Thanks. Is this artwork in Cities & Scenes book?
By the way went to your CAF page and what an incredible selection of Krenkel work. I had liked already, but liked a few more.
