Its really in the tradition to use painted tiles in a building since around the 17th century. First only as delft blue but around 1880 until now in all kind of colors. Nice find.
I really do enjoy that sort of adornment of doorways and places of urban life in general. I'm sure such things make us just that little bit happier in our environment.
O my, you saw something I haven't while I was there for my painting shows last year! And these are preserved nicely! Do you remember in which neighborhood?

It looks very much like the art work I used to see in children's books many decades ago.
These are very beautiful, some doorways have indeed those tiles with images, but this one I have never seen before. Well spotted!

Oh I LOVE these. B
Wonderful finds. Thanks for sharing.
So innocent and sweet...maybe the lamb might not think so when it sees the wolf!

I do like tiles :)
Another bunny! Was there some kind of theme I wasn't aware of? ;-)
Nice finds!
These are beautiful!
Quite enchanting and maybe a little tense. Run little lamb! Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
