Buddhist Temple in Kandy, Ceylon is a 1884 by Skeen & Co., a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This photo shows a two-story wooden temple with intricate carvings along the railings and walls. The roof is tiled, and the upper level has open arches with detailed patterns. Inside, a small altar sits under a carved screen, with symbols painted on panels behind it. The temple’s design mixes simple shapes with fancy details, like the turned posts and geometric carvings. It looks like it’s meant for quiet reflection, with light streaming in through the arches. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more photos like this one.
