These pages will hold some paintings that I like. I've found them in the newsgroups and the web, and make no apology for any breach of copyright, which I don't think will bother any of them, as they are all dead.

As we have a section on Egypt, in another gallery, it seems reasonable to start with some pictures of Egypt, painted in the 18th and 19th centuries. It's interesting to see the romantic view of Egypt, and also just how much sand has been cleared away from the monuments.
Gizeh - The Sphinx looks particularly pained!
The Valley of the Kings
Abu Simbel
Karnak
All of these pictures come from Karnak, I believe
There are also photographs of the Northwest elsewhere on my site. So, no apologies for including the following paintings here. About 4 miles from where I live, is the house where L.S. Lowry lived. The mother of a friend of mine cleaned for him, and often said that he was the most miserable person she had met! Definitely one of nature's eccentrics, but his paintings do seem to sum up something about what life was like 'oop north'
