About Old and New Architecture Boston

A red brick colonial building with a white timber tower and gilded weather vane stands in the centre of the frame, its stepped gable topped by a gold lion and unicorn and a round clock face. An American flag hangs from a balcony above tall white-trimmed sash windows. Behind and around it rise far larger modern blocks: a pale stone tower on the left with rows of deep-set windows, a grey concrete-and-glass building above, and a dark bronze-glass facade filling the right edge.

Sunlight strikes the brick and the white cupola while the surrounding towers stay in cool shadow, so the small historic building reads warm against grey and near-black. Fine detail is visible in the brick courses, the slate roof dormers and the reflections in the dark glass. The character of the image is quiet contrast, an old civic building holding its ground among a much newer skyline.

Suits a home office, study or living room where you want a travel or architecture theme without bright colour. The brick red and gold sit well with leather, timber desks and brass lamps, while the grey glass tones match concrete floors, charcoal sofas and black steel shelving. Works as a single feature over a desk or console. Browse more brown and earthy art, silver and grey art, multi-coloured art, or read Art above the bed: what size and how high.
