A monumental landscape painting by American artist Andy Taylor depicting an overlook of the ancient Anasazi ruins of Antelope House in Canyon de Chelly, Arizona. Taylor captured the natural beauty of this mystical place with his signature gestural style and colorful palette of tangerine, fuchsia, scarlet, spring green, turquoise, violet, lavender, magenta, salmon, and creamy white hues. Some have compared his hard-edged style to that of the legendary Georgia O'Keeffe.
The Antelope House Ruin complex is comprised of two main building areas that border a central plaza. It was inhabited by the Kayenta Anasazi Indians from about 1050 to 1270 CE. Scholars believe that this complex once included more than 91 rooms and rose 4 stories high. Taylor's awe-inspiring bird’s-eye view pays homage to the history held within the sandstone walls of Antelope House, an ancient treasure of the American Southwest.
