The Ramayana is a story as old as time and - at least in the Indian subcontinent and across much of Southeast Asia - of unparalleled popularity. More than two thousand three hundred years ago the scholar-poet Valmiki sat down to write his definitive epic of love and war. The poem Valmiki composed is styled the Ramayana, or 'Romance of Rama' in Sanskrit. In its present form, the Sanskrit version consists of some 24,000 couplets divided into seven books. The Ramakien is the Thai version of this epic and has an important influence on Thai literature, art and drama. It is regarded as the National Epic of Thailand. Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha); full official name Wat Phra Si Rattana Satsadaram is regarded as the most sacred Buddhist temple in Thailand. It is located within the precincts of the Grand Palace. The Grand Palace served as the official residence of the Kings of Thailand from the 18th century onwards. Construction of the Palace began in 1782, during the reign of Ki

Dover Pier, Kent 1828-40 David Cox Cox's mastery of watercolor is apparent in this small sheet. Brightening light at the the horizon indicates dawn, while a crowd gathered on a pier and distant sails characterize a busy port. Although tiny, the figures are distinguished by a various colors and shapes which contrast with long flat strokes used in the sky and water to suggest calm. Cox was a leader of the Birmingham school and one of the periods significant watercolorists. He showed mainly at the Society of Painters in Watercolours in London. Initially influenced by Richard Parkes Bonington and John Varley, by the 1830s Cox was known for his distinctive, washy handling developed to depict English country subjects centered on wind and weather. A related subject, "Dover from the Sea," 1831 (Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery) with similarly handled washes, suggests a possible date for the present work.. Dover Pier, Kent.

Date: 1883.This tiny watercolor was made on the southeast coast of Guernsey, an island in the English Channel. Renoir took great delight in Guernsey, as he remarked in a letter to his dealer Paul Durand-Ruel. There is "no better sight than this mixture of women and men crowded together on these rocks. You would think you were in a landscape by Watteau rather than in real life. I will therefore have a source of real, graceful subjects of which I'll be able to make use.".

Peacock and Hollyhocks mid-14th century Bian Lu Chinese This monumental flower-and-bird composition shows the Uighur Bian Lu working in the highly polished tradition of the Song Imperial Painting Academy. Only the calligraphic character of the drawing, particularly noticeable in the rhythmic outlines of the leaves, betrays its fourteenth-century date. The meticulously detailed plumage of the peacock, the gritty texture of the rock, and the delicately shaded leaves and blossoms are a tour de force of representational illusionism. The bird's pose, dramatically balanced on one leg as it prepares to take another step, may refer to a famous anecdote about the Song emperor Huizong, who chided his court painters for failing to observe that when climbing, the peacock always takes the first step with its left leg.
