I just love the folds moving in the non-existent wind of this angel.
The angel is one of several decorating Ponte Sant'Angelo - the bridge was originally called Pons Aelius (Aelian Bridge) and built in 134 A.D. by emperor Hadrian to connect the city and his mausoleum, supposedly by the architect Demetrian. It was later also referred to as pons Sancti Petri (the bridge of St Peter) because pilgrims used it to get to the St Peter's basilica. And in the early 7th century it was given the official name of Sant'Angelo, to match the name-change of the mausoleum to Castel Sant'Angelo.
In the 15th century the bridge was used to display the bodies of executed criminals.
The angels now adorning the bridge were commissioned in 1669 by pope Clement IX and made by students of Bernini under his directions. This particular one, holding a column, was made by Antonio Raggi
Facade decor of the Rukovishnikovs' museum-estate in Nizhny Novgorod. Russia.
The beginning of work can be roughly dated to 1875. Presumably, all work was completed in 1879 or early 1880. Researchers draw attention to the fact that the building was not erected from scratch, but was, in fact, a reconstruction of an old estate. The conclusion was confirmed by an analysis of the floor plans of the two buildings and research carried out during the restoration process. In the western part, the palace almost completely retains the planning structure of the old house.
The main house, built in the spirit of an Italian palazzo with stylized shapes and baroque details, occupies the eastern corner of the estate. Richly decorated with stucco and sculptural images, the three-story mansion faces the Upper Volzhskaya embankment with its main facade and acts as an accent in its development.
The design drawings of the existing building have not been found in the archives today. Researchers are aware of other projects for rebuilding the old mansion of S. Vezlomtsev. Dated in May 1875, the project envisaged the addition of an additional floor to the house at the mezzanine level. It was no coincidence that the eclectic style was chosen for the future construction, the success of which was explained by the rapid development of capitalism and the aesthetic tastes of large industrialists and merchants of the post-reform period. The merchants sought to "emphasize the dominance of money, their will and influence with loud cumbersomeness." The demand for eclecticism was explained by the desire of the bourgeoisie to assert itself in Russian society, which gave rise to a kind of cult of luxury. All this applied to the Rukavishnikovs.

Interior of the church Santa Maria Maddalena - a Baroque church, for the order Ministri degli Infirmi which had a church on this spot since 1586. The work on the current church was begun in the 17th century in the Baroque style (and the main main facade was actually finished in the 1730s in the Rococo style (after some 70 years of work on the church). Several architects were involved in this long process, and the dome is thought to be the work of Carlo Fontana.

Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, England. Built 1705-1722 originally for John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, as reward for military activities including the Battle of Blenheim. Birthplace in 1874 of Winston Churchill.
Christopher Wren was in the running to be architect but the post was given to John Vanbrugh who was assisted by Hawksmoor. The building is in the ‘English Baroque’ style that paralleled the perhaps more exuberant Continental Baroque. English baroque was soon unfashionable and replaced by the restraint of the Georgian buildings of Edinburgh and Bath.

Although the original church was founded in the 11th century, the present baroque structure dates from its rebuilding in 1753 following damage sustained during the Austrian bombardment of 1749. The brick bell tower, or campanile, is one of the oldest left in Venice, probably dating from the 12th century.

Die Frauenkirche (offiziell: Kirche Unserer Lieben Frauen) ist ein evangelischer Sakralbau am Neumarkt in Dresden. Der 91 Meter hohe Kuppelbau wurde 1726 bis 1743 durch den Rat der Stadt von George Bähr geschaffen. Im bis zu 1.200 ° Celsius heißen Feuersturm, der verheerenden Bombenangriffe vom 13. und 14. Februar 1945 durch die Briten und Amerikaner, wurde die Kirche vollständig zerstört. Nach dem Krieg blieb die Frauenkirche eine Ruine, bevor sie dann nach dem Zusammenbruch der DDR von 1993 bis 2005 wiederaufgebaut wurde. Sie gehört zu den bekanntesten Sehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt und zu den bedeutendsten Bauwerken des Barock.

The Bayon (Prasat Bayon) is a well-known and richly decorated Khmer temple at Angkor in Cambodia. Built in the late 12th or early 13th century as the official state temple of the Mahayana Buddhist King Jayavarman VII, the Bayon stands at the centre of Jayavarman's capital, Angkor Thom. Following Jayavarman's death, it was modified and augmented by later Hindu and Theravada Buddhist kings in accordance with their own religious preferences.
The Bayon's most distinctive feature is the multitude of serene and smiling stone faces on the many towers which jut out from the upper terrace and cluster around its central peak. The temple is known also for two impressive sets of bas-reliefs, which present an unusual combination of mythological, historical, and mundane scenes. The current main conservatory body, the Japanese Government Team for the Safeguarding of Angkor (the JSA) has described the temple as "the most striking expression of the baroque style" of Khmer architecture, as contrasted with the classical style of Angkor Wat.

The watermill Lippholthausen (Schloßmühle Lippholthausen) in the Lippholthausen district of Lünen is a grain mill built in 1760 near the Lippe river. The watermill of the former Buddenburg noble house is a late Baroque half-timbered building, not far from the former Buddenburg Castle.
From the 14th century until 1902, the Buddenburg house was owned by the Frydag family of Buddenburg. The Frydags belong to the very old Westphalian nobles. The family is mentioned for the first time in 1198.
Around 1535, the noble family built a watermill south of Brunnenstraße and opposite Schlossallee. At the former river Henebecke a large millpond was excavated.
Afterwards, the runs of the creek Henebecke, Sadbecke, Wilbecke and Seltenbecke were diverted so that they flowed directly into the new millpond and fed it with water.
After the mill had been completed and put into operation, the farmers in the area of the thirlage "Buddenburg Mahlzwang" had to come to the castle mill to have their grain ground.
Nothing remains of the mill built at the beginning of the 16th century. However, the current mill building already has a considerable number of years on the hump: It was built in 1760 by Wessel Giesbert von Frydag.
In 1903, Haus Buddenburg and the mill were inherited by the Rüxleben family. The latter finally sold the property to the city of Lünen in 1913. Until 1930 grain was ground in the castle mill.
The old mill pond above the castle mill is no longer present, it was filled in 1938 during the construction of the Lippewerk. A loss for trippers, they could sail around on the pond with paddle boats.
Until the end of the 1970s, the House of Buddenburg, which also included the castle mill, stood in the district of Lippholthausen, now part of Lünen.
The Mühlenfreunde Lippholthausen e. V. restored and maintains the mill, which currently serves as an excursion restaurant and can also be used for weddings. It was placed under monument protection in 1985.
The Justizpalast is a Neo-Baroque building housing the District Court 1 of Munich and the Bavarian Ministry of Justice.
