Kubla Khan, or is it?

When I googled images of Kubla Kahn, this is what happened to pop up. It comes from a blog post that deals with meter in Kubla Kahn and is very interesting: http://blog.inkyfool.com/2011/06/kubla-khan-crescendo.html.

Anyway, I'm not sure if this is supposed to represent Kubla Khan or not, but even if it doesn't, I'm finding a lot of parallels.

Firstly, this painting obviously deals with the rich landscape created around the sacred river, though there is seemingly little land involved. The focal point of the painting seems to be an arch in the background which is paralleled a little to the right by the deep cave that I assume to be the cave of the poem.

The foreground and left side of the piece is riddled with signs of merchant life and prosperity, but the opposing cliff face in the right foreground seems to be directly threatening the human scene. The abstract shapes and splashes of color in the rock could represent war machines, advancing troops, or the inevitable demise of the rock as the shapes are carved out of it by the sea. This is strengthened by the palimpsest-y feel of the human side of this painting, which is caused by swirls of white bleaching in places where it doesn't fit in, making it look as if the artist was trying to portray the look of the place before or after civilization.

This scene of impending natural or human doom is reflected in Khan's foretaste of his own destruction in the poem and highlights the difference between the impermanent world Khan has created and the more lasting world that the narrator is attempting to create himself in the latter part of the poem.
