This monument was dedicated to Victor Emmanuel II (1820 – 1878) first King of a unified Italy in 1861. The Monument represents the history of Venice directly following its defeat by Napoleon. It commends his efforts during the joining of Italy, commonly referred to as the Risorgimento. This statue portrays these events primarily through the two representations of Venice. On one side of the Monument, Venice is depicted as a fallen yet determined woman. She is sitting next to the lion of St. Mark who is covered in the chains of Austrian rule. This Venice, according to the dates shown on the shield, is the defeated and oppressed Venice. The years are 1848-49 which is when Austria took control of Venice and depleted the republic. The aspect of war and the fight for freedom is shown by the image commonly associated with the French Revolution. The Venice on this statue bares one breast and holds a flag close to her body, just as the woman in many French Revolutionary War pictures does. She also carries a broken sword, symbolizing the defeat during her attempt to fight for freedom. On the other side of the statue, Venice is free and united with Italy. The lion of St. Mark has broken through the chains and is shown roaring. This is a symbol of the pride and strength of Venice as a city. The woman is wearing a dress covered in an elaborate pattern and fancy shoes showing the wealth and beauty of the city after it won independence from Austria during the Prussia-Austria War. Monument to Victor Emmanuel II Venice by Italian Sculptor, Ettore Ferrari (1845 – 1929) / Born into an artistic family (his father was also a painter), Ferrari was one of the members of the artistic rebirth in the secular state after the Italian Unification. For a long time, he was a professor at the Accademia di San Luca, a deputy in the Italian Parliament and Grand Master of the Grande Oriente d'Italia the main Masonic body in Italy. In 1884 Sculptor, Ettore Ferrari and Architect, Pio Piacentini provided the rough draft for constructing a permanent monument, the Victor Emmanuel II Monument that celebrates Victor Emmanuel II of Italy (the first king of a united Italy) and that also commemorates "Risorgimento", the Italian unification that followed the military defeat and dissolution of the temporal Papal States empire. Date of Dedication: 1887

My Father-In-Law Vernon Cremeans at a Cincinnati Reds baseball game. We bought Reds tickets and gave them to him for Fathers Day. He is 88 years old at the time of this game, had been a Reds fan since the Reds existed, but had never attended a game. He sure seemed to enjoy it despite the heat that day.
Veterans day here in the US, is also Armistice or remeberancer day in many commonwealth countries, Just missed the 11th Hour of the 11th Day of the 11th Month to post this as I was in a meeting, but the intention was there
Armistice day is commemorated every year on 11 November to mark the armistice signed between the Allies of World War I and Germany at Compiègne, France, for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front of World War I, which took effect at eleven o'clock in the morning—the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" of 1918

The temple at Abhaneri, dedicated to the goddess Harshat Mata. The platform and lower part of the 10th century temple survive but sadly it shared the fate of many of India's Hindu temples in being destroyed as a result of intolerance during the centuries of Muslim rule.
Scattered fragments of the original stonework surrounds the temple and most of the beautiful figurative carvings that survive have suffered some defacement. The uppers sections were later rebuilt with shallow domes in Mughal style and the historic temple functions again as the spiritual heart of the village.

Tintagel Church is dedicated to St Merteriane (or Materianas). St Materianas may have been St Madryn, a princess of Gwent, who is believed to have preached here. The present church may have been built on the site of a Celtic oratory run by the monks of Minster. It is outside Tintagel village on a uncluttered site, off the coast path.
Tintagel Church today has a cruciform shape of nave chancel and transepts, and was built between 1080 and 1150. The Norman Earls of Cornwall held Tintagel and built first Bossiney Castle. Then Earl Reginald, a son of Henry I, built the first Tintagel castle on the island around 1141 and probably finished building the church. Much of the existing stonework of the north wall may part of an earlier church incorporated in the Norman building .

The Foișor Church is located at 119 Foișorului Street in Bucharest, Romania.
It is dedicated to the Nativity of Mary.
Situated on a hillock, the church was founded by Smaranda, the third wife of Prince Nicholas Mavrocordatos, as a chapel for her houses.
The pisanie is from November 1745, marking the date of completion.
The princely houses offered a fine view of the Dâmbovița River.
They were linked to the Văcărești Monastery over the swampy ground in between by a wooden bridge provided with a turret or foișor.
This foisor gave rise to the name of the district and church.
The church and houses were placed under the authority of Radu Vodă Monastery, which owned the area.
Ban Mihail Cantacuzino mentioned the church as possessing an inn, namely the houses.
By 1813, the building was in ruins and needed repairs, carried out in 1849.
The iconostasis of the church was damaged by the 1838 earthquake.
Until 1880, the open portico served as a church school for the children of parishioners; a church singer would teach pupils to read the Horologion and the psalter.
In 1888-1889, the portico was enclosed with glass and the windows enlarged.
An ambon was installed and the old frescoes covered in oil paintings by Gheorghe Tattarescu.
A lead roof was added in 1914-1915, while an altar entrance room was added to the southeast.
Serving as a vestry and, in the basement, as a deposit for liturgical items, the small area is decorated similarly to the facade.
The interior, maintaining much of its original appearance, is in contrast with the exterior, modified during the 19th century.
In the 1980s, when the neighborhood underwent systematization, the architect in charge deliberately omitted the church from the plans he presented to dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu, in order to protect it from demolition.
The cross-shaped Foisor church measures 20.3 meters long by 8.7 meters wide, with an ample dome above the nave and a bell tower above the narthex.
The octagonal domes sit on square bases; their windows fit into recessed semicircular arches.
The narthex and portico area is significantly broader than the nave.
There is a cornice between the side apses and the narthex, beneath the joint roof.
The portico features three frontal three-lobed arches; the pediment above ends in a cross.
The portal leading to the narthex has a Brâncovenesc frame with floral motifs.
The pisanie sits above, displaying the Wallachian coat of arms.
The door, from 1757, has a special lock, signed by its maker, the carpenter Andrei.
The facades are divided into two sections of unequal size, separated by a simple string course.
On the lower side, there is a series of arched frames resting on simple columns; the windows, ending in arches, are between these.
The upper part of the windows is narrow.
On the west and north sides, there are medallions, once painted; on the south, horizontal fluting in the masonry and tracery carved in stone.
The portico has a vaulted ceiling and consolidated arches.
The narthex ceiling, typical for the 18th century, is also vaulted, ending in pendentives and wide lateral arches.
Portico and narthex are separated by a wall with three three-lobed arches held up by stone columns with slightly twisted double fluting.
The capitals, bases and two supports of the columns, decorated with flowers in relief, are characteristic of the Mavrocordatos era.
The columns on the side walls are worked simply in masonry.
The main dome rises above the austere nave, held up by arches and pendentives.
The 18th-century masonry iconostasis has door frames with accolades.
The bishop’s throne to the right and the side seats are finely carved in wood.
The ktetors’ portraits are on the right side of the narthex.
The churchyard is entered beneath a belfry built later.
Fragments of the old houses, built using narrow bricks, survive.
There are two old stone crosses inscribed in Romanian Cyrillic.
The church is listed as a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs.
Dedicated to the members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police who lost there lives during the course of duty in the province of Manitoba,Canada
Adi Kumbeswarar Temple, Kumbakonam is a Hindu temple dedicated to the deity Shiva, located in the town of Kumbakonam in Thanjavur District Tamil Nadu, India. Shiva is worshiped as Adi Kumbeswarar, and is represented by the lingam. His consort Parvati is depicted as Mangalambigai Amman. The presiding deity is revered in the 7th century Tamil Saiva canonical work, the Tevaram, written by Tamil saint poets known as the Nayanmars and classified as Paadal Petra Sthalam.
The temple complex covers an area of 30,181 sq ft (2,803.9 m2) and houses four gateway towers known as gopurams. The tallest is the eastern tower, with 11 stories and a height of 128 feet (39 m) The temple has numerous shrines, with those of Kumbeswarar and Mangalambigai Amman being the most prominent. The temple complex houses many halls; the most notable is the sixteen-pillared hall built during the Vijayanagar period that has all the 27 stars and 12 zodiacs sculpted in a single stone.
The temple has six daily rituals at various times from 5:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., and twelve yearly festivals on its calendar, with the Masi Magam festival celebrated during the Tamil month of Maasi (February - March) being the most prominent.
The present masonry structure was built during the Chola dynasty in the 9th century, while later expansions are attributed to Vijayanagar rulers of the Thanjavur Nayaks of the 16th century. The temple is maintained and administered by the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department of the Government of Tamil Nadu.
Legend
It is believed that the name of the town Kumbakonam is derived from the legend associated with Kumbeswarar Temple. "Kumbakonam", roughly translated in English as the "Jug's Corner", is believed to be an allusion to the mythical pot (kumbha) of the Hindu god Brahma that contained the seed of all living beings on earth. The kumbha is believed to have been displaced by a pralaya (dissolution of the universe) effected by Hindu god Shiva's arrow and ultimately came to rest at the spot where the town of Kumbakonam now stands. The nectar is believed to have fallen in two places - the Mahamaham tank and the Potramarai tank.
This event is now commemorated in the Mahamaham festival held every 12 years. Kumbakonam was also formerly known by the Tamil name of Kudamukku.
Kumbakonam is also identified with the Sangam age settlement of Kudavayil.
History
The temple is in existence from Chola times of the 9th century,[6] and has been maintained by Nayaks during the 15-17th century. In modern times, the temple is maintained and administered by the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department of the Government of Tamil Nadu.

Joseph Stella: Visionary Nature
February 24 – May 21, 2023
Italian-born American modernist Joseph Stella (1877–1946) is primarily recognized for his dynamic Futurist-inspired paintings of New York, especially the Brooklyn Bridge and Coney Island. Lesser known, but equally as ambitious, is his work dedicated to the natural world, a theme that served as a lifelong inspiration. Throughout his career, Stella produced an extraordinary number of works—in many formats and in diverse media—that take nature as their subject. These lush and colorful works are filled with flowers, trees, birds, and fish—some of which he encountered on his travels across continents or during his visits to botanical gardens, while others are abstracted and fantastical. Through these pictures, he created a rich and variegated portrait of nature, a sanctuary for a painter in a modern world.
Joseph Stella: Visionary Nature is co-organized by the High and the Brandywine River Museum of Art and is the first major museum exhibition to exclusively examine Stella’s nature-based works. The exhibition features more than one hundred paintings and works on paper that reveal the complexity and spirituality that drove Stella’s nature-based works and the breadth of his artistic vision. Through expanded in-gallery didactics, including a graphic timeline of Stella’s career and a short film, the exhibition digs deeply into the context of the works, exploring their inspirations, meanings, and stylistic influences.

If you know the painter Joseph Stella, it’s probably from his famous urban landscapes like Brooklyn Bridge (1921), a futurist interpretation of New York’s dramatic 20th-century industrialization. But Stella was just as captivated by the botanical world as he was by cityscapes, and today, Atlantans can see that side of the artist in vivid color. Joseph Stella: Visionary Nature, an explosive new exhibit at the High Museum of Art, features dozens of his flower and plant-filled paintings and drawings. In Atlanta through May 21, the exhibit travels chronologically through Stella’s lifelong love-affair with the natural world, from an early study of a piece of bark to the epic, intricate Tree of My Life.
Visionary Nature was a joint effort between the High; the Norton Museum in West Palm Beach, Florida; and the Brandywine Museum in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, where it heads next. “They were really focused on [Stella’s] nature works, and we have a great work by Stella here at the High,” said Stephanie Heydt, the museum’s Margaret and Terry Stent Curator of American Art. “It was a great collaboration.”
Stella was born in 1877 in Muro Lucano, a hilly city in southern Italy. He immigrated to New York originally intending to follow his brother into medicine, but after a uninspired stint in medical school, he pivoted to painting. Stella studied briefly under the impressionist painter William Merritt Chase at the New York School of Art and soon developed a reputation as a sensitive interpreter of the urban working class.
The High’s exhibit features of some of these early works, in which the natural world spills out amidst the smokestacks and steel mills of America’s industrial revolution. “This is the Progressive Era at the turn of the twentieth century,” Heydt explained. “And he’s looking at the people in his own community, specifically the Italian immigrants.”
Traveling back in Europe, Stella was inspired by the contemporary artists he saw there: the cubism of Pablo Picasso and early futurism of Umberto Boccioni. He drew on these sources back in the U.S, earning acclaim for his dynamic geometric paintings of the metropolis; several choice selections, including American Landscape (1929), and Smoke Stacks (1921), are on view in this exhibit.
But even as Stella built his career on the towering achievements of urban industry, he yearned for the sunny landscapes of his youth. He frequented havens like the Bronx Botanical Gardens, which opened in 1891 and offered escape from New York’s sooty streets. Walking through Brooklyn one day, he later wrote in an essay, he stumbled across a sapling.
“This little tree is coming up from a crack in the sidewalk, shadowed by a factory, and he sees himself in this tree,” Heydt said. “He says, This is me.”
That encounter inspired Tree of My Life (1919) a florid aria sung to the natural world. A sturdy olive tree—Stella himself—anchors the canvas, surrounded by a vortex of tropical plants, birds, and, in the background, Stella’s native Italian hills. Brandywine Museum Director Thomas Padon envisaged the exhibit after seeing Tree of My Life in a private collection. “I was transfixed,” Padon told the New York Times.
Stella painted Tree of My Life and Brooklyn Bridge within a year of each other, announcing a duality that would define the rest of this career. While he painted flowers throughout his life, it was his moody, futurist treatments of New York that made him an art-world celebrity. European artists fleeing World War I were landing in New York in droves, sparking a new creative fascination with the cutting-edge American city. “(Marcel) Duchamp says the art of Europe is dead, and this century is about America,” explained Heydt. “Stella’s understood to be one of the first American-based painters to figure out . . . how to paint the new modern city.”
But Stella’s love of the natural world—and of Europe—endured. He returned to botanical themes throughout his life, infused with the Old Master styles of the Italian Renaissance. Many works in this exhibit invoke the sun-drenched vistas and towering cathedrals of Italy, overrun by sumptuous flowers that are decidedly not native to the Iberian peninsula. Stella—a native turned immigrant—seems to delight in the contradiction: in Dance of Spring (1924), tropical orchids and calla lilies burst open in a beam of beatific light, like Jesus rising to the heavens in a Raphael. Purissima (1927), part of the High’s own collection, evokes the iconic Renaissance Madonna, here transformed by Stella’s whimsy: the stamens of a lily serve as her celestial crown, while snowy egrets (the Florida kind) grace her sides.
With saturations of color abounding in every room, Visionary Nature enjoys an added depth through words. Stella was a prolific writer, and the exhibit makes canny use of text to explore his passion for the living world. “My devout wish,” reads one such diary segment on view, “That my every working day might begin and end . . . with the light, gay painting of a flower.” In a unique addition to their exhibition, the High created a short video featuring more of Stella’s own thoughts. “We wanted to end with his voice telling us how he felt about various paintings in the show . . . or his ideas about art,” explained Heydt.
Stella, who died in 1946, spent the last years of his life in ill health, largely confined to his studio. He never stopped painting the natural world; a few of those last works, modest trees still full of flair, are on view here. A few years before his death, his friend and fellow artist Charmion von Wiegand paid a visit to his studio. She found Stella amidst a riot of color, studiously painting his favorite subject. “Flower studies of all kinds litter the floor,” wrote von Wiegand, “and turn it into a growing garden.”

Dedicated to Inari, the Japanese fox goddess, Fushimi-Inari-taisha is the head shrine (taisha) for 40,000 Inari shrines across Japan. Stretching 230 meters up the hill behind it are hundreds of bright red torii (gates). A visitor could easily spend several hours walking up the hillside, taking in the beautiful views of the city of Kyoto and walking through the torii, which appear luminescent in the late afternoon sun. Countless stone foxes, also referred to as Inari, are also dotted along the path.
