The King’s hall is the most lavish of all the rooms at Skokloster Castle. It is situated in the middle of the Wrangel apartments, between the rooms of the count and those of the countess. In the Wrangel era the room was called ”The Everyday Diningroom”. In the 18th Century, when portraits of kings and queens started filling up the walls, it became known as ”The King’s Hall”.

Venice's mask culture is unique in European civilization. It is a city where very few masks are integrated into daily life. Venetians have a long history of taking masks as part of their daily life. Before the 18th century, Venetian residents could not live without masks. When people went out, both men and women had to wear masks and cloaks. The mask specially belonging to Venice was the famous "bauta"

Entre Poitiers et Limoges, il faut s'arrêter au "village étape" de Bellac. A voir parmis tant d'autres :
Les maisons anciennes des XVe et XVIIIe siècles, ainsi que quartiers et rues pittoresques : les maisons à pans de bois de l'ancien fort entourent l'église sur l'emplacement de l'ancien château dans un dédale de ruelles serrées.

Between Poitiers and Limoges, you have to stop at the "village stage" of Bellec. To see among many others:
The old houses of the 15th and 18th centuries, as well as quarters and picturesque streets: the half-timbered houses of the old fort surround the church on the site of the old castle in a maze of tight alleys.

My attempt at making something close to OceanGate Titan Submersible, which was tragically lost after it went missing on the 18th June 2023. The US Coast Guard's findings explained that it had imploded and the crew had been instantly killed. The Titan was doomed from the beginning, with unusual practise during its construction and made with crude materials. The Titan was an experimental submersible, and was not officially certified. 

A doomed submersible from the very beginning of its existence. May the crew rest in peace.

Zalipie, a village in southern Poland, is most famous for its folk art. Local artists have been covering houses in traditional floral motifs, a custom with roots back in the 18th century, when housekeepers would lighten sooty interiors of their huts by covering them with limewash. Through the 19th century the practice evolved into a habit of decorating cottages - both on the inside and on the outside - with colorful painted ornaments. The tradition has been kept up in the 20th century by dedicated artists like Felicja Curyłowa (1904-1974) and - thanks to her and her followers - to this day we can admire unique local art, and house painting contests are still held to support this live tradition. The 3D model was created based on one of the oldest, finest examples of a Zalipie painted house.

**Welcome to [The Hallwyl Museum](https://hallwylskamuseet.se/en/) in Stockholm, Sweden.**

Once the home of [Walther](https://goo.gl/79nUeT) and [Wilhelmina von Hallwyl](https://goo.gl/Y8iiJs).

This room was built for Wilhelmina von Hallwyl's collection of European porcelain. Almost all manufacturers of porcelain in the 18th and early 19th century are represented here. The collection consists of more than 500 objects, with pieces from [Meissen](https://goo.gl/jZbQ7q), [Sèvres](https://goo.gl/zUohNG) and [Wedgwood](https://goo.gl/RN1WRm), to name a few.

The collection contains both service sets and figurines. It gives us a good overview of the production of the period in general. In this way it deviates from many contemporary collections that often focused on one category of objects.

The images for this project were captured using an [array](https://goo.gl/ePHjDr) of four Panasonic Lumix GX8 cameras.

An 18th century bronze statue believed to be of the Roman Emperor Trajan (mistakenly referred to as Julius Ceasar by several excited tourists who stopped for a selfie opportunity, and did not read the plaque).  it is situated next to a section of the London Wall near of the Tower Hill underground station. 

Better photography focussing on the whole right arm and left hand would most likely have produced a better end result.


Model was created from 269 photos (probably could of taken more) shot with a Nikon D5300 (using a 18-55mm kit lens) and aligned on High in Agisoft (using medium level dense cloud).

Moai, or mo‘ai, are monolithic human figures carved by the Rapa Nui people on Easter Island in eastern Polynesia between the years 1250 and 1500. Musée du cinquantenaire (Brussels, Belgium). Made with CapturingReality.

Nearly half are still at Rano Raraku, the main moai quarry, but hundreds were transported from there and set on stone platforms called ahu around the island's perimeter.The tallest moai erected, called Paro, was almost 10 metres (33 ft) high and weighed 82 tonnes (90.4 tons).[8][9] The heaviest moai erected was a shorter but squatter moai at Ahu Tongariki, weighing 86 tonnes. One unfinished sculpture, if completed, would have been approximately 21 m (69 ft) tall, with a weight of about 270 tonnes. The moai were toppled in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, possibly as a result of European contact or internecine tribal wars.

A Hussar szyszak was a type of helmet commonly used by the troops of the Polish Hussars, similar to the pappenheimers used in Western Europe. Usually, it was decorated similarly to the Hussar armour – with trimmings and appliqué motifs of brass stamped with geometrical ornaments. There were a few variants of this helmet: with a tip on the top, a high crest, or fan-like wings on the skull (the latter was popular in the 1st half of the 18th century, during the Saxon’s reign).

The foundation of this convent dates back to the 12th century, and its gothic church was built in the 16th century. The rest of the complex ranges from the 17th to the 18th century. In 1815, the monastery served as a hospital for French soldiers after the Battle of Waterloo. It became a school around 1845, then was restored in the 60s to become a parish church to replace another church destroyed during WWII, becoming the Église Saints-Jean-et-Nicolas (Saints-John-and-Nicholas Church).

Model of the ancient city of Babylon. 600 B.C.E.

The Bible Lands Museum Jerusalem

Babylon was a key kingdom in ancient Mesopotamia from the 18th to 6th centuries BC. The city was built on the Euphrates river and divided in equal parts along its left and right banks, with steep embankments to contain the river's seasonal floods. Babylon was originally a small Akkadian town dating from the period of the Akkadian Empire c. 2300 BC.

Greek temple in Pötzleinsdorf Palace Park in Vienna's 18th district.
Around 1750, the estate belonged to Johann Josef Count Khevenhüller. In 1762, Fabius Ricci ran a cloth shearing business there, which is why it became known as the “Riccian estate”. After several changes of ownership, Johann Heinrich Geymüller acquired the castle in 1797, had it renovated, extended it to include a Meierhof and bought the Pötzleinsdorf estate in 1802.

Some buildings from this period have been preserved, including the temple, also known as Preindl-Salettl - named after Maria Preindl, Geymüller's mistress. Writer Salomon Mosenthal (1821-1877) used it as a place to work during his summer stays in Pötzleinsdorf. The palace and park were once an important center of cultural and social life.

Rijksmuseum Amsterdam
Already in the 18th century this famous sculpture was known by various nicknames, the best known of which was L'Amour Menaçant, ‘menacing love’. The threat is most evident in the Cupid’s knowing gaze, while the gesture he makes invokes us to secrecy. The statue was made for Madame de Pompadour, King Louis XV’s art-loving mistress.
