Surreal Antique Hourglass Artwork
About This Surreal Hourglass Artwork
A closer look at the subject, style and details in this image.
An antique hourglass stands alone in a shadowed celestial chamber. A miniature moonlit forest, winding river, distant towers, and glowing lanterns fill the upper glass, while the lower chamber reflects the same world upside down with the moon in a different position.
Symbolic fine art surrealism gives the scene an atmospheric, mysterious feel. A cover for a fantasy novel or a poster could use the hourglass as a central image.
