The Flowering Arch and Distant Domes: Willy Pogany
A high flowering arch frames bright white domes and towers beneath a blue sky. Several figures gather in the foreground, their warm garments answering the small touches of colour in the surrounding foliage. Willy Pogany’s Rubaiyat illustration turns the garden opening into a view towards an imagined city. The enclosing arch joins the human gathering with the distant architecture.
