This poster, illustrated by Lotza, pays homage to one of the most famous and iconic monuments on the planet: the Taj Mahal, a true masterpiece of Mughal architecture and a universal symbol of eternal love. Located in the city of Agra, in northern India, this sumptuous white marble mausoleum was built starting in 1632 by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died prematurely during the birth of their fourteenth child. Its monumental construction mobilized thousands of architects, artisans, and workers from across the subcontinent and Central Asia for more than twenty years.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site and recognized as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, the Taj Mahal is an architectural feat. It harmoniously blends Indian, Persian, and Islamic influences, through its grand central dome, four minarets, perfectly symmetrical gardens, and delicate inlays of semi-precious stones. The building is designed to embody celestial beauty, spirituality, and eternal memory.
Lotza's illustration beautifully captures the essence of this majestic monument. With a carefully chosen color palette and remarkable attention to detail, the artist captures the changing shades of the white marble as the daylight changes, the serene reflections of the pool of water that precedes the esplanade, and the elegance of the decorative motifs carved into the stone. The composition evokes a poetic, almost dreamlike atmosphere, inviting contemplation and reverie.
This poster is not only a decorative object, but also a true evocation of the history, culture, and aesthetic refinement of imperial India. Whether you are a fan of art history, travel, iconic monuments, or simply looking for a strong and inspiring piece to enhance your interior, this Lotza creation is an ideal choice.
Carefully printed in Charente on high-quality art paper, this poster combines graphic tradition and modernity. It will bring a touch of refined exoticism and emotional depth to your space. Perfect for decorating a living room, office, or bedroom, it also makes a precious gift for anyone who loves heritage, architecture, or legendary love stories.
More than just an illustration, this work pays vibrant homage to the timeless elegance of the Taj Mahal — a mythical place, full of emotion, memory and beauty.
