Art, the herald angel sing.. this is how our great painters are interpreted to have captured our Christmas Tree scene.
From Banksy through Dali, Rembrandt, Monet, Munch, Picasso, Pollock and Van Gogh to Warhol.
And many other great artists in the pantheon too.
All of them reminding us through modern mastery and technology that every Christmas is unique.
And how great art keeps our stories alive and enriches us all and pictures can be understood in any language.
Banksy to Dali
It will surprise us all too how many of these artists we know.
And have embraced too on our travels.
The ubiquitousness of Bristol’s favourite son (we think) means wherever we go, near or far, we get to see the world through his eyes.
In truth, we can see these artists in most of our towns and cities.
My own native city long promoting Salvador Dali’s Christ on the Cross as the apex of its art collection.
Dress up your trees
Amsterdam and Paris (and Rome) have long been centres for art.
And, of course, we wouldn’t dream of visiting the canal city without going to the Rijksmuseum or the Vincent Gogh Museum.
While in this humble art-lover’s view you can keep your Mona Lisa we’re all about the Monet in Paris.
And Munch in Norway makes us Scream for joy.
Now if you’re into your alternative Christmases then the New World brings new interpretations in Pollock and Warhol.
Both of which you’ll find at MOMA in New York and Warhol in his own homestead of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The baubles of your life
Your tree, of course, is yours and you’ll have it dressed up with all the baubles of your life.
But for your downtime after dinner… check how others do it.
