About the Artist
Designed by MORYARTY, Lisbon Old City 1 reflects a contemporary interpretation of the classic travel poster, blending vintage graphic restraint with a modern sensibility. MORYARTY’s approach is rooted in capturing the authentic atmosphere of Lisbon, focusing on the city’s architectural rhythms and the interplay of light rather than touristic spectacle. This piece is part of a broader exploration of European urban landscapes as enduring sources of inspiration for decorative art.
Created in 2017, this work continues the tradition of cityscape imagery that evokes both memory and place, inviting viewers to experience Lisbon’s unique character from a fresh perspective.

The Artwork
Lisbon’s distinctive topography—marked by rolling hills and its proximity to the river—serves as the conceptual foundation for this artwork. The image captures a contemplative view across the old city, emphasizing the balance between densely packed buildings and the open expanse of sky and water. This composition seeks to convey the calm pace and poetic atmosphere that define Lisbon’s historic neighborhoods.
The piece also nods to the decorative tradition of travel posters, designed to bring the spirit of a place into the home. To complement this aesthetic, explore our black and white wall art for more monochrome cityscapes and architectural prints.
Style & Characteristics
The artwork is rendered in a striking black-and-white palette, employing a range of soft greys to articulate rooftops, facades, and the gentle transition into the distant waterfront. The composition is structured in horizontal layers, guiding the viewer’s gaze from the intricate city forms below to the tranquil sky above.
This restrained, architectural style evokes the feel of a refined monochrome photograph, imbuing the scene with a quiet, slightly nostalgic mood. The clarity of line and subtle tonal shifts create a sense of depth and serenity, making it a versatile addition to both modern and classic interiors.
In Interior Design
This Lisbon cityscape poster is well-suited for living rooms, hallways, or workspaces where a calm, structured presence is desired. Its monochrome palette harmonizes with minimalist, Scandinavian, or modern-classic decor, pairing beautifully with neutral walls, wood accents, and metal finishes.
For a curated gallery wall, combine it with other architectural or landscape prints, or let it stand alone as a focal point above a console or desk. A slim black or white frame from our frames collection will enhance its clean lines and understated elegance.
