Framed Big Ben Artwork
Big Ben is perhaps the most important landmark in London and one of the clock towers featuring in most paintings and drawings. It towers high next to the Parliament building and is among the most visited attractions in the capital city of United Kingdom. FramedArt.com pays the attention and respect that this structure deserves and has assembled a comprehensive assortment of Framed Big Ben Art.
Framed Big Ben Art usually depicts both the tower and the Palace of Westminster in the same pictures, but there are also posters zooming in on the famous clock. The official name is Elizabeth Tower and this name was given to it in 2012 to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. For many years this was the largest clock tower in the world, until the Minneapolis City Hall was erected and it is still the easiest to recognize. A symbol of England and the focal point of attention for millions of tourists, the tower has underwent extensive innovations over the last couple of years.
Just like the new parliament which was built at the middle of the 19th century, the Clock Tower was affectionately called Big Ben and the name stuck. The Framed Big Ben Art emphasizes the manner in which the tower brilliantly complements the Palace of Westminster, a structure erected in neo-Gothic style. Towering high above all nearby buildings, the tower is 315 feet tall and can be seen from a distance, while also providing an excellent vantage point over the entire capital.
