Quito, Ecuador Travel Wall Art

This Quito Ecuador travel poster looks down over the historic centre from above the rooftops. In the foreground a pale stone church raises two carved bell towers beside a paved plaza with figures crossing it, and a domed church stands opposite. Red clay tiles run back for blocks, a winged statue tops the hill on the left, and a green volcano cone fills the skyline.

About the artwork

The drawing is dense and illustrative, with carved stonework and roof tiles picked out line by line rather than simplified into blocks. Warm terracotta and coral roofs cover most of the frame, offset by cool grey-white stone facades, olive and forest green on the volcano, and a muted slate sky. The title QUITO is set in wide white capitals with ECUADOR letter-spaced beneath. Portrait orientation, 2:3 ratio.

Why you'll love it

• Architecture in close-up — the two carved bell towers sit near enough to read every detail.
• A city that ends in a volcano — rooftops run straight up to a green cone.
• Terracotta by the acre — the tiled roofs give one long warm field of colour.
• Small human scale — figures crossing the plaza show how big the churches are.

Sizes and materials

• Paper — archival matte, rolled and unframed. Nine sizes from 8" x 12" to 30" x 40", plus A4–A1 for European frames.
• Matte canvas — stretched on a wooden bar, no glare, ready to hang.
• Framed canvas — solid wood floating frame in white, black, espresso or natural.
• Pigment-based archival inks, rated to resist fading for decades indoors.

Styling it at home

Grey stone and slate sky give this one a cooler cast than most terracotta scenes, so it holds up on a mushroom, taupe or soft charcoal wall. In a living room with a linen sofa and a wool rug the tiled roofs bring the warmth back. It also suits a hallway, where the fine architectural detail rewards a close pass. Aged brass, dark wood and stone finishes fit; bright primary colour does not.

Shipping and care

Unframed prints ship rolled in a protective tube. Framed canvas arrives ready to hang. Keep prints out of direct sunlight to protect the colour, and dust canvas with a dry, soft cloth.

Questions people ask

What are the two towers in the foreground? They belong to one of the baroque churches on the plazas of Quito's old town. A domed church faces it across the square, and a winged statue on the hill behind watches over the city.

What size should I get? Above a sofa or bed, 24" x 36" or 30" x 40" holds the wall. For a desk, shelf or gallery grouping, 12" x 18" and 16" x 24" are the easiest to place.

Does it come framed? Paper and matte canvas arrive unframed. The framed canvas option adds a solid wood floating frame in white, black, espresso or natural.
