Lawrence, Ansel Adams, and over a hundred other artists came to this valley to capture. The San Geronimo Chapel at Taos Pueblo — a warm ochre adobe church with a wooden cross above the entrance, set against the deep cobalt of the New Mexico sky — is the most painted building in the American Southwest, and the combination of the earth-toned adobe architecture, the cottonwood green of the Rio Grande del Norte riparian corridor, the deep blue sky, and the specific quality of the high desert light makes Taos one of the most visually extraordinary landscapes in North America. The Taos Pueblo itself, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and National Historic Landmark, comprises two multi-story adobe structures that have been continuously inhabited since approximately 1000 CE and remain home to members of the Taos Pueblo people today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis high-quality canvas print brings the extraordinary warmth and spiritual depth of Taos into your living space — the warm ochre and golden adobe of the chapel walls, the deep cobalt blue of the New Mexico sky, the dark wood of the carved doors, and the specific luminous quality of the high desert light at altitude.
