The Castle originated from a fortified building erected in the 13th century next to the city's walls. This first edifice was called Castelvecchio ("Old Castle"), was the seat of the Bishopric of Trent from the 13th century. Bishop George of Liechtenstein was the first to enlarge the castle, in the late 14th century, turning it into a well-styled residence. In the first decades of the 16th century Bishop Bernardo Clesio had a new residence, called Palazzo Magno ("Grand Palace") built in Renaissance style alongside the old castle. The last great addition was the so-called Giunta Albertiana, from the name of Bishop Francesco Alberti Poja (1686), with which the Castelvecchio and the Palazzo Magno were united. The castle served as residence of the Prince Bishops. until the conquest by Napoleon troops in 1796. Used by the Austrians as military barracks and, later, as a jail, it decayed. In the 1920s, when Trento was returned to Italy, it became seat of a National Museum and was restored. Since 1992 it is home to the Provincial Gallery of Art. The castle is renowned for its precious frescoes painted on the interior halls and ceilings as well as on some exterior walls.
Castelul s-a dezvoltat pornind de la o construcţie fortificată ridicată în secolul al XIII-lea în apropierea zidurilor oraşului. Primul edificiu s-a numit „Castelvecchio” şi a fost sediul Prinţilor-Episcopi de Trent începând din secolul al XIV-lea . Prinţul Episcop George de Lichtenstein a fost primul care a extins castelul, transformându-l la sfârşitul secolului al XIV-lea într-o reşedinţă elegantă. In primele decenii ale secolului al XVI-lea, Prinţul Episcop Bernardo Clesio a construit în lungul palatului vechi o nouă reşedinţă în stil renascentist, numită „Palazzo Magno”. Ultima mare modificare, aşa numita „Giunta Albertiana”, a fost realizată în vremea Prinţului Episcop Francesco Alberti Poja (1686), când palatele Castelvecchio şi Palazzo Magno au fost unite. Castelul a continuat să fie rezidenţă episcopală până la invazia napoleoniană din 1796. Folosit apoi de austrieci pe post de cazarmă şi, mai târziu, de închisoare, castelul a cunoscut o perioadă de decădere. In 1920, când Trento a redevenit parte din Italia, a fost restaurat şi transformat în Muzeu Naţional. Din 1992 adăposteşte Galeria de Artă a Provinciei Trentino. Castelul este renumit pentru preţioasele fresce pictate pe pereţii interiori şi pe tavane, ca şi pe unele ziduri exterioare.

"I Just Had To Look Up"
We visited Longleat with the local U3a Visits Group
I like to say that photography for me is trying to show others the way I see something. I am not sure if I managed to instill in this photograph the atmosphere I feel in the Muddy Cup coffeehouse in New Paltz, with its high ceilings painted this coppery color. The warmth is palpable and I enjoy just relaxing in a soft chair and gazing up at it.
Emperor's Salon. The freshly colored ceiling painting, "Die Musik auf Adlerschwingen" ("The Music on Eagles’ Wings"), by Karl Madjera, represents both lyrical and tragic music. The ceiling and walls are decorated with 22 carat gold leaf.

Hatfield House
The home of the 7th Marquess and Marchioness of Salisbury and their family.
The Estate has been in the Cecil family for 400 years.
In 1611, Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury, and the son of Lord Burghley, the chief minister of Elizabeth I built this fine Jacobean House adjoining the site of the Old Palace of Hatfield.
The deer park surrounding the house, and the older building of the Old Palace, had been owned Henry VIII who had used it as a home for his children, Edward, Elizabeth and Mary. It was while she was living in the Old Palace, in 1558, that Elizabeth learned of her accession to the throne.
The House was splendidly decorated for entertaining the Royal Court, with State Rooms rich in paintings, fine furniture and tapestries.
Superb examples of Jacobean craftsmanship, such as the Grand Staircase with its fine carving, and the rare stained glass window in the private chapel can be seen throughout the house .

The Armoury
The Armoury began as an open loggia in the Italian Renaissance style, with a door at the top of the steps at each end.
Such an arrangement proved inconvenient, as it meant that there was no interior passage on the ground floor between the two wings. The 2nd Marquess filled in the windows in 1834 and laid the marble floor.
The 3rd Marquess completed the alterations by putting up the panelling.
Most of the armour on the walls was purchased by the 2nd Marquess from the Tower of London in the middle of the 19th century.
At the west end of the Armoury there are two standing figures in armour, the faces of which are replicas of the death mask of Charles I.
The Armoury houses a fine domestic organ supplied in 1609 by John Haan, a Dutchman. The case retains its original decoration by Rowland Bucket, an extraordinarily versatile artist whose painting and gilding on ceilings, walls and furniture did much to brighten the interior of the House when it was first built. He even decorated the salads and meat dishes at Robert Cecil’s funeral. The organ is in regular use and is played to entertain visitors.

The Fin Whale passage leads to the Haaga Family Rotunda, the central part of the 1913 building, which reopened last year after a four years of restoration. The coffered ceiling contains this glorious stained glass dome.

I went to the cinema this afternoon, though I usually go in the evening. I saw The Front Runner . It's about Gary Hart's presidential campaign in 1987. I gave it ⭐️⭐️⭐️
These are the ceiling lights seen as the final credits are rolling.
Friedrich Wilhelm IV. wollte in der Orgel(wie auch in der Potsdamer Friedenkirche)eine Fensterrose als Eintrittsstelle der Transzendenz.
Die 1844 vom Potsdamer Orgelbauer Gottlieb Heise geschaffene einmanualige Instrument veränderte 1907 Alexander Schuke die Orgel. durch größere 8’-Prospektpfeifen. 1961 wurde das Instrument durch Vandalismus zerstört. Von 1990 bis 2009 stand an seiner Stelle eine Attrappe. Aus finanziellen Gründen konnte die neue echte Orgel erst im Juni 2009 eingebaut werden. Das Instrument ist aus der Orgelwerkstatt Wegscheider.

Zwischen den Obergadenfenstern stehen auf Konsolen Statuetten der zwölf Apostel aus Lindenholz. Sie wurden 1840/1844 von Jakob Alberty geschnitzt. Als Vorbild dienten die Apostelstatuetten an Peter Vischers Sebaldusgrab in St. Sebald in Nürnberg (um 1500) und von Christian Daniel Rauch gefertigte Modelle für den Berliner Dom.

Keystone above the main entrance of the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi, featuring the name of God in Hebrew (Yahweh) carved in it. There's a story that Abraham Staab, a wealthy Jewish merchant in Santa Fe, lent Archbishop Lamy money to finish the Cathedral. In appreciation, Lamy put the Hebrew inscription above the entrance to the cathedral.

I love this ceiling, it is just incredibly beautiful. I have been wanting to go back and shoot it again for quite some time. I was just a little off center, but I am getting closer to just the shot I want. This shot was triple exposed and tone mapped in photomatix, I also played with it a little in lightroom. This is why HDR is so beneficial, the originals show no where near the detail this shot does.
The lights you see are a chandelier and this is the info from the brochure I took last night: A chandelier weighing 6,000 lb (2,700 kg) hangs from the rotunda of the central dome. The chain supporting it weighs an additional 7,000 lb (3,200 kg).
