Ekphrasis explanation and example
Since this may be new to some of you, there is only one requirement:
please either link to the artwork for me, or include an author's note stating the artist and name of the piece.
There are no other restrictions. Length, form, and chosen artwork are up to you.
If you don't have a favourite piece or want inspiration, there are some virtual tours
*please note at least one link no longer works. Most do, and have various ways to show you exhibits.
You are also free to simply Google "famous works of art" and go from there.
