Edwin Deakin The Palace of Fine Arts Art Print
Brandywine General Store
Archival art print of The Palace of Fine Arts by Edwin Deakin, an oil on canvas completed in 1915. The building was designed by Bernard Maybeck for the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco’s Marina District, drawing on Roman and Greek architectural forms to evoke a romantic, fictional ruin. A 1,100-foot pergola curves around a central rotunda set beside an artificial lagoon, allowing the structure to reflect in the water below. It is the only original Exposition building remaining on its site — saved during the fair itself by a preservation league led by Phoebe Apperson Hearst — and was fully rebuilt in 1965, with seismic retrofit and lagoon restoration completed in 2009. Available from Brandywine General Store.
