Description
The grounds of the villa are wonderful and full of interesting features. I chose digital painting to differentiate from the many photographs taken of this magnificent place.
In 1954, oil tycoon J. Paul Getty opened a gallery adjacent to his home in Pacific Palisades.Quickly running out of room, he built a second museum, the Getty Villa, on the property down the hill from t he original gallery. The villa design was inspired by the Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum[6] and incorporated additional details from several other ancient sites. The Getty Villa is one of two locations of the J. Paul Getty Museum. Located at the easterly end of the Malibu coast in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, USA, the Getty Villa is an educational center and museum dedicated to the study of the arts and cultures of ancient Greece, Rome, and Etruria.
