Zazzle Highlights Velazquez Stretched Canvas
Want a stretched-canvas replica of a masterpiece (like the Velazquez painting above)? Bridgeman Art Archive has uploaded thousands of works to Zazzle. Many of them are reproductions of great paintings, but Bridgeman has also posted canvas replicas of antique maps, manuscripts, music scores, and vintage periodicals. I will feature examples of these and other interesting items from Bridgeman in future posts.
Zazzle Highlights Beach Bags
This beach bag caught my eye for a couple of reasons. First, the illustration is quite cute and well done. And secondly, I like the fact that there is no evidence of a frame. Most of the images on Zazzle tote bags are square or rectangular images, so this design stands out from the crowd.

Zazzle Highlights Vintage iPhone Cases
Of the thousands of vintage designs have been uploaded to Zazzle for mobile phone cases, I've selected this one to highlight. Why? Because it reminds us that, thanks to the cell phone, most of us no longer have to use a dirty, germ-infested public telephone.

Zazzle Highlights Patrick Henry Bruce Poster
This is the work of Patrick Henry Bruce, an early-twentieth-century American artist who was a one-time student of Henri Matisse. A relatively obscure artist, Bruce's paintings can nonetheless be seen at many major American museums, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York. I highlight his work here to show the breadth of art posters available at Zazzle.
The source of this image is the Bridgeman Art Archive, a fabulous repository of art images from public and private collections from around the world. Zazzle has nearly 50 thousands posters from Bridgeman available, including works by Van Gogh, Degas, Klimt, Monet, and Modigliani.

Zazzle Highlights Eiffel Tower
Eiffel Tower Under Construction Poster by corbisimages
Look at 7th arrondissement Posters online at Zazzle.com
I love this photo of the Eiffel Tower. We're so used to seeing the tower soar up toward the sky, that this view is unsettling. Clearly it is under construction, yet it nonetheless seems like the top half of the tower has been ripped off.
A 28 x 20" poster is available at Zazzle for $14.90.
