Lion Crushing a Serpent (1832)
by Antoine-Louis Barye (1796 - 1875)

Although his contemporaries criticized his style and his choice of animal subjects, Barye is today esteemed as the founder of the Parisian animaliers.
The noble lion, representing the new King and the people of France, is shown in a triumphant struggle against the serpent, symbolizing Charles X (reigned 1824–1830) and the ousted Bourbon dynasty. The pair additionally suggests a celestial sanction for Louis-Philippe’s reign by alluding to the constellations of Leo (the lion) and Hydra (the sea serpent), which “ruled the heavens” during the days of the July Revolution (July 27-30, 1830).

The Lion is located by the entrance of Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen.

Rocca Calascio is a mountaintop fortress or rocca in the Province of L'Aquila in Abruzzo, Italy.
Built of stone and masonry exclusively for military purposes and intended only to accommodate troops and never as residence for nobles, the fortress overlooks the Plain of Navelli at one of the highest points in the ancient Barony of Carapelle.
Santa Maria della Pietà and Rocca Calascio.
Construction of the fortress started in the tenth century as a single watchtower. A walled courtyard with four cylindrical towers at the corners around a taller inner tower was added in the thirteenth century. The lower half of the fortress is built with distinctively larger stones than its upper half. It is believed that this feature was to make its base impenetrable to invaders. The fortress was never tested in battle. However, it was badly damaged in November 1461 by an earthquake with an estimated magnitude of 7 to 8 on the Richter Scale.

The coffin ensemble of Taditjaina consists of an outer coffin (inventory no. 150a; approx. 76 x 193 x 73 cm) and an inner one (inventory no. 150b; approx. 43 x 173 x 48 cm). They are possibly from the Theban necropolis, and date back to the beginning of the 26th Dynasty (approx. 664–525 B.C.). Both coffins perfectly fit into one another. The two coffins and the mummy of lady Taditjaina were a gift to the Württembergian royal house from the German consul to Alexandria, Mr. von Dumreicher, between 1820 and 1830. They were later given to the University of Tübingen in 1911. The wooden coffins are white stuccoed, and have polychrome scenes, painted red, black, blue, dark green and yellow. The inscriptions of the coffins contain various scenes and texts from the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead—a guide for the afterlife. The texts should guarantee the continued existence and provision of Taditjaina, the lady of the house, the noble one, in the Netherworld.

The Valley of the Kings is a valley west of modern Luxor (ancient Thebes) in Egypt where, for nearly 500 years from the 16th to 11th century BC, tombs were excavated for the pharaohs and powerful nobles of the New Kingdom.

English Archer Helmet, 15th ct., 1.6 mm steel. This particular helm is based not on what the nobles might have worn, but instead, on what the typical troop would have favored, possessing a straight-forward design that is both effective and protective, being shaped similarly to a barbute, of later 15th century Italian descent. It is made entirely from 16 gauge steel and features rivets about the skull-cap, as well as protection on the sides and back of the head and face, while leaving the front open, so as to not interfere with an archers vision or draw. The interior of the helmet also features a leather liner with an adjustable chin strap, which helps to make the helmet all the more comfortable and easy to wear. The helmet is based entirely on a historical piece, which is held in the Royal Armouries, in Leeds, England.

This model is a part of the Callectable Item Pack for Unreal Engine 4.

[Lanhoso Castle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_of_Lanhoso) was an important line of defense, protecting Portugal against the influnce of the Kingdom of Leon (spanish kingdom). In the 12th century, Theresa Queen of Portugal was besieged in this castle, as she rebelled against her half sister. Portugal had vassalic ties with the crown of Leon. She lost the battle and Portugal remained a vassal state. She allied with noblemen of Galicia (another spanish kingdom) which displeased the Portugese court. Because of that she was later ordered to be imprisoned in the tower of the Lanhoso castle, by her son.  

From the castle, only the tower remains. The cause of this destruction was the great great grand father of the famous portugese general, saint constable, who burned the castle down, as he found out that his wife cheated on him there. The fire killed the lovers, servants and the life stocks. The castle was abonded as it lost its strategical importance.

An older highlander woman with sharp features looks at us from the bust, with a face marked by the hardships of life, and yet with a strong and noble appearance at the same time. This hard, experienced, yet gentle woman was depicted with great care and diligence, as well as perceptible tenderness in approaching the model. It is not surprising, as the sculpture portrays the mother of the artist – Teresa Gąsienica Brzega, a simple highlander, a woman who had raised her four children on her own in the difficult times of the poverty prevailing in Podhale.

Bastions are the highest stage of augmentation and the title of knighthood within the Order.
Inside their armored bodies resides a living human brain — the noble core of a once-mortal individual. After the ritual known as the “Dusk of Flesh,” the body is permanently abandoned, and the person becomes a steel fortress with no weakness of flesh.

Only the chosen may become Bastions.
All others exist in service to the Order as squires — attendants, fighters, and scouts.

A Bastion is not a machine. It is will and honor sealed within armor, for which the entire Order exists.

Bastion A

Anthropomorphic mold for the production of figurines, in the shape of a noble male figure seated with legs crossed and hands resting on his lap. He wears a band or diadem composed of square plaques, surmounted by a tall feathered headdress; a necklace of spherical beads; round earspools; and wristbands. On either side of the diadem, a bivalve shell and a rosette with feathers or a flower can be discerned as ornaments. He is dressed in what appears to be a hip cloth.

GA-CHR-088-Almustafa - The Prophet

This marble carving is a **heraldic coat of arms (stemma)** located inside the Siena Cathedral. The shield prominently features a **lion in a rampant pose**, a common symbol representing strength, courage, and authority. Such emblems were used to identify noble families, bishops, or important patrons associated with the cathedral.

These coats of arms were typically installed on altars, chapels, or architectural elements to signify **patronage and contribution**. Wealthy families or church officials who funded construction, decoration, or restoration works were often granted the privilege of displaying their crest within the cathedral.

Beyond decoration, the carving reflects Siena’s historical social and political structure, where religion, power, and family identity were closely intertwined. Today, these heraldic symbols serve as historical markers, offering insight into the individuals and families who played a significant role in shaping the cathedral’s rich artistic and cultural heritage.

Siena - Duomo Stemma / Coat of Arms (Scaniverse)

This patinated terracotta bust portrays Queen Marie of Romania with a refined elegance characteristic of Frederic Storck’s mature sculptural style. The artist captures the queen’s noble presence through a harmonious balance of realism and idealization, emphasizing both her strength and her grace. Queen Marie’s face is modeled with soft yet well‑defined features: a calm, introspective expression, gently arched eyebrows, and a composed gaze that projects dignity. Her hair is arranged in broad, stylized waves, a hallmark of her iconic appearance in early 20th‑century portraiture.
The bust was made in the first quarter of the 20th century.
Today, the work is preserved and exhibited at the Frederic Storck and Cecilia Cuțescu‑Storck Museum, a historic house museum dedicated to the artistic legacy of the Storck family.
