I cannot determine the date of Barnes’ work here. Alternate Internet sources date it at 1932 (or later?) — yet a version of it apparently appeared in the 1905 book Architect and Engineer (Architect and Engineer, Inc.). I’m guessing that Barnes completed multiple versions of the same work.
Chalk and watercolor on paper.
“‘Orestes and the Erinyes.”
A scene from Ragnarök, the final battle between Odin and Fenrir and Freyr and Surtr.
Opaque and transparent watercolor over graphite under drawing on paper.
Oil on canvas, completed with collaborator Edward Robert Hughes.
This is the Grand Lobby, sometime between 1905 and 1910.
I love this photo — it’s one of the coolest I’ve laid hands on via Wikimedia Commons.
I seem to have forgotten how to insert photos into a WordPress post so that viewers can “click to enlarge.” If any of you guys can advise me on that, I’d be grateful.
