Immense dome in Palácio Tiradentes plenary. That superb stained glass represents the sky of the night of November 15, 1889, the day of the Brazilian Republic Proclamation. Those beautiful painting are from the Brazilian painter Rodolfo Chambelland.

The Palácio Tiradentes was the Brazilian National Congress until 1960 and today is the Legislative Assembly of Rio de Janeiro. Built on land occupied by the "Old Jail", which housed prisoners of the colonial period, the palace has replaced the former building of the Imperial Parliament. Its name is a tribute to Tiradentes, who was imprisoned there before being hanged on April 21, 1792.

Portrait of Frances Evelyn Greville, Countess of Warwick (1889). My restoration and colorization of Herbert Rose Barraud´s photograph.

"Frances Evelyn "Daisy" Greville, Countess of Warwick (née Maynard (10 December 1861 – 26 July 1938) was a British socialite and philanthropist. Although embedded in late-Victorian British high society, she was also a campaigning socialist, supporting many schemes to aid the less well-off in education, housing, employment, and pay. She established colleges for the education of women in agriculture and market gardening, first in Reading, then in Studley. She established a needlework school and employment scheme in Essex as well as using her ancestral homes to host events and schemes for the benefit of her tenants and workers. Greville was a long-term confidant or mistress to the Prince of Wales, who later became King Edward VII."

J’ai fini ma partie et ce n’est même pas la moitié de ce diorama réalisé avec Domino39 (Dominique DAMEROSE).

Il n’y a pas les 500 figurines mais si vous voulez voir Paris en entier ce sera le 20 avril 2019 à Cysoing vers Lille et le 30 juin 2019 à Colmar.

I finished my part and it is not even half of this diorama realized with Domino39.
