This is considered an important work by Croatian artist Marijan Kocković, who served as a ship’s captain during World War II with both American and British forces and had a 45-year career as an artist. As a sculptor, he was referred to as “Marijan of Dubrovnik” and created important portraits of many leading individuals including John F. Kennedy and Elizabeth Taylor.

Folklore depicts leprechauns as mistrustful creatures who detest humans. According to legend, leprechauns found the abandoned gold and buried it again so no human could ever find it. The old folktales tell us that there is a pot of gold hidden where the end of any rainbow touches the earth.
Well Norway doesn't have leprechauns but they do have trolls:
In Old Norse sources, beings described as trolls dwell in isolated areas of rocks, mountains, or caves, live together in small family units, and are rarely helpful to human beings.

This picture depicts the stronghold of Blankenstein in Hattingen.
The stronghold´s tower was build in the 13.th century. The mediaevally
stronghold is 80 meters above the river Ruhr and and made of Ruhr freestone,
and 2 km to the east of Haus Kemmnade.
The Castel Blankenstein is located on the south side of the river Ruhr in Hattingen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
Beginning in 1227, the castle was built over the course of 200 years by the Counts of the Mark. In 1614, shortly before the Thirty Years' War, it was occupied by Spanish troops.

Shui Mo, meaning "ink" in Chinese, is an art gallery and a series of installations called the "Shui Mo series" created by FionaFei in the style of Chinese ink brush painting, depicting a common theme or landscape seen in many traditional Chinese paintings.
Willem Schellinks' painting "Dutch Ships in the Medway, June 1667" captures a pivotal moment in naval history with remarkable skill and detail. Created in the Dutch Golden Age, this artwork depicts the daring Raid on the Medway, a significant event during the Second Anglo-Dutch War.
Schellinks' composition skillfully conveys the chaotic intensity of the naval engagement. The viewer is drawn into the scene as Dutch ships, powerful and triumphant, navigate the waters of the River Medway in England. The artist's meticulous attention to architectural accuracy and his ability to render the vessels' intricate details highlight his technical prowess.
The painting not only commemorates a victorious naval campaign but also speaks to the broader themes of national pride and maritime power during the 17th century. The Dutch Republic's naval prowess is showcased as they successfully penetrated English defenses, a feat that left an indelible mark on both nations' histories.
Schellinks' work exemplifies the Dutch tradition of marine painting, which often combined meticulous representation of ships and seascapes with a sense of nationalistic pride. "Dutch Ships in the Medway, June 1667" stands as a testament to the artist's ability to capture historical events with artistic finesse, making it an enduring piece of both maritime and art history.
The four evangelists are traditionally depicted on the sails of the dome, and their symbolic images are written below them.
The evangelists are depicted with open books, the figure of each of them is twice the size of a person.
Saint Matthew the Evangelist is on the southeast sail. Below, Matthew is an angel, a man with wings, with his right hand he gives the evangelist a scroll, and in his left hand he holds a pen.
According to the fathers of the church, each of the four animals, in addition to the evangelists, expresses a style or character that is characteristic of the gospel of each of them. The image of the winged man must be assimilated by Matthew, since he begins his gospel with the human genealogy of the Savior.
Artist V. M. Vasnetsov.
Matthew the Apostle, also known as Saint Matthew and possibly as Levi, was, according to the New Testament, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus. According to Christian traditions, he was also one of the four Evangelists as author of the Gospel of Matthew, and thus is also known as Matthew the Evangelist, a claim rejected by most biblical scholars, though the "traditional authorship still has its defenders."
На вітрилах купола традиційні чотири євангелісти, а під ними, у вигляді таємничих апокаліптичних тварин, що зустрічаються в Книзі пророка Єзекіїля та Одкровенні Іоанна Богослова, притаманні їм в іконографії, їх символічні зображення - істоти стали символами євангелістів та формою їхнього традиційного зображення з VII століття.
Євангелісти зображені з розкритими книгами, фігура кожного з них удвічі більша за людський зріст.
На південно-східному вітрилі Святий євангеліст Матвій. Нижче Матвія - ангел, людина з крилами, правою рукою він подає євангелісту сувій, а в лівій - тримає перо. Образ крилатої людини пов’язують з Матвієм, оскільки він починає своє євангеліє людською генеалогією Спасителя.
Художник Віктор Михайлович Васнєцов.
В Одкровенні Іоанна тетраморф представлений в образі окремих чотирьох апокаліптичних істот (лат. quattuor animalia «чотири живуть»; чотири живі істоти у протестантів) — вартових чотирьох кутів Трона Господа та чотирьох меж раю.
На думку отців церкви, кожна з чотирьох тварин, у додатку до євангелістів, виражає собою стиль або характер, що є властивим євангелії кожного з них.
Левій Матвій, (Левій, Матей, митар, Євангеліст Матвій, Митник) — один з 12 апостолів Ісуса Христа. Матвія називають також Левієм, щоб відділяти його минуле життя від часу служіння Ісусові. Матвій написав Євангеліє від Матвія арамейською мовою.

This statue depicts a black angel carrying a baby to heaven.
In this photo all the other visitors have their backs turned to the statue. That was not intentional on my part or theirs but adds to feeling that the world had abandoned the dead child.

Well. Let’s start with Arthur Brown. Yes, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown. That’s him, on stage, with his funny flaming hat and a whip.
Discounting Mr Brown, it’s a cave painting depicting a prehistoric shaman, who’s acting out the forthcoming hunt such that it might successfully supply substantial quantities of meat for the tribe. Perhaps they’ll bag a mammoth.
Or maybe it’s…

A postcard depicting Sennen Cove in Cornwall, England. Instead of a traditional birthday card, my daughter sent this to my husband Martin for his birthday last year. We both love all things to do with the sea & boats. One of the regular customers at the restaurant where she works in Southampton had created the original artwork.

This depiction of Dewa Ruci is an allegory of human desires who continue to want to track down the whereabouts of their God by carrying out spiritual exploration. According to Javanese philosophy, humans are a small universe or microcosm (small world). And the universe is a big universe or macrocosm. But basically, the human universe is bigger than the universe. Because whoever knows himself, then he knows his God
The philosophy of Dewa Ruci in Javanese wayang stories is about searching for identity, obedience to teachers, and independence. This story also illustrates that humans must achieve perfection by knowing their true identity. The following are some of the philosophies contained in the story of Dewa Ruci: Manunggaling Kawula Gusti Man must unite with God, or unite with his last strength. The search for knowledge and perfection Humans must seek the origins and purpose of their lives to achieve perfection. Introduction to identity Humans must recognize their origins as God's creation. Search for the meaning of life Man must seek the meaning of his life and act in harmony with God's will. Getting rid of lust Man must get rid of lust and calm his soul in order to be one with God. In the story of Dewa Ruci, Bima is the main character who was ordered by his teacher, Resi Drona, to look for the water of life on Mount Candramuka. Bima managed to overcome various obstacles, including meeting giants and dragons, and finally met Dewa Ruci.

Simon Bolivar statue in Cartagena, Colombia.
A statue depicts Simon Bolívar astride a horse in a park setting.
This statue is located in Bolívar park, in the center of the city of Cartagena. At the base of the statue is inscribed one of Bolívar’s famous sayings: “Cartagenians: If Caracas gave me life, Cartagena gave me glory.”
Simon Bolívar is known as “The Liberator,” of South America because of his efforts to free the colonies from Spanish rule. The movement for independence in Colombia began in 1810, but succeeded only in 1819 when Bolívar incorporated Colombia into the confederation of Gran Colombia. Gran Colombia included Ecuador and Venezuela (Panama was part of Colombia) until it dissolved into its component parts in 1830.

The stone sculptures in Sno, a small village in the Kazbegi region of Georgia, are part of a remarkable art project in the Caucasus. These sculptures consist of impressive stone artworks depicting giant faces, often with a melancholic or mysterious expression. They were created by local artist Merab Piranishvili, who is renowned for his unique ability to bring faces and emotions to life in natural stone. Working primarily with local stones, he carves expressive facial features that tell stories about life, the soul, and the deep connection with nature. The sculptures symbolize the ancient wisdom of the mountain dwellers and the spirit of the past. The faces sometimes appear sad or contemplative, reflecting both the challenges and the beauty of life in the Caucasus. Fully integrated into the surrounding landscape, the sculptures stand among the mountains, hills, and rugged grasslands, blending seamlessly with their natural environment. This is what makes Piranishvili’s work so unique: he respects the natural shapes of the stones and subtly adds human characteristics without compromising their raw, natural beauty. Piranishvili often works directly in the field, selecting local stones and carving them with a hammer and chisel. He carefully considers the natural form of each stone, adapting his designs to create a result that looks organic and harmonizes with the surrounding environment.
Sno is located near the breathtaking Stepantsminda area and the imposing Mount Kazbegi. The stone sculptures are a hidden gem in this region, attracting an increasing number of art enthusiasts and travelers. The site exudes a serene, almost meditative atmosphere—perfect for those seeking something unique off the beaten path. If you ever find yourself near Kazbegi, these sculptures are well worth a visit. They offer a truly unique experience where art and nature come together in perfect harmony.
De stenen sculpturen in Sno, een klein dorpje in de Kazbegi-regio van Georgië, maken deel uit van een bijzonder kunstproject in de Kaukasus. De sculpturen bestaan uit indrukwekkende stenen kunstwerken van gigantische gezichten, die vaak een melancholische of mysterieuze uitstraling hebben. Ze zijn gecreëerd door de lokale kunstenaar Merab Piranishvili, die bekendstaat om zijn unieke vaardigheid om gezichten en emoties tot leven te brengen in natuursteen. Hij werkt voornamelijk met lokale stenen en geeft ze expressieve gezichtsuitdrukkingen die verhalen vertellen over het leven, de ziel en de diepe verbondenheid met de natuur. De sculpturen symboliseren de oude wijsheid van de bergbewoners en de geest van het verleden. De gezichten tonen soms een droevige of reflectieve uitdrukking, wat de uitdagingen én de schoonheid van het leven in de Kaukasus weerspiegelt. De beelden zijn volledig geïntegreerd in het omringende landschap: ze staan tussen de bergen, heuvels en het ruige grasland, waardoor ze naadloos opgaan in hun natuurlijke omgeving. Dit maakt het werk van Piranishvili zo uniek: hij respecteert de oorspronkelijke vormen van de stenen en voegt subtiel menselijke kenmerken toe, zonder hun ruwe, natuurlijke schoonheid aan te tasten. Sno ligt vlakbij het adembenemende berggebied Stepantsminda en de imposante Kazbegi-berg. De stenen sculpturen zijn een verborgen juweel in deze regio en trekken steeds meer kunstliefhebbers en reizigers aan. De plek straalt een rustige, bijna meditatieve sfeer uit, ideaal voor wie op zoek is naar iets unieks buiten de gebaande paden. Piranishvili werkt meestal direct in het veld, waarbij hij natuursteen uit de regio selecteert en met hamer en beitel bewerkt. Hij houdt rekening met de oorspronkelijke vormen van de steen en past zijn ontwerpen hierop aan, zodat het eindresultaat natuurlijk oogt en harmonieert met de omgeving. Als je ooit in de buurt van Kazbegi bent, mag je deze sculpturen zeker niet missen. Ze bieden een bijzondere ervaring waarin kunst en natuur op een unieke manier samensmelten!
The image depicts the tower of the Karlsruhe Palace in Karlsruhe, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The structure is set against a wintry sky, with bare tree branches framing the scene. The tower features a dome topped with a spire and is part of a yellow and white neoclassical building. A snow-dusted path leads towards the palace through a park area, where patches of snow cover the grass. The overall ambiance suggests a cold winter evening.
"The high-ceilinged room – replete with a large studio window – in wich a featureless mannequin-like figure is sitting in a reflective pose has a decidedly eerie feel to it. Clad in armour and wearing a helmet, an alarmingly tall futuristic ironman figure looms outside the window menacingly surveying the lifeless room with his penetrating, eyeless stare. This surreal situation is reminiscent of the magical defamiliarisation effects of pittura metafisica. By means of this device, Dischinger is able to communicate the prevalent experiences, emotions and the altitudes to life during the rise of National Socialism. The emptiness of the lifeless room is in itself spectral, everything has been depicted soberly and starkly, even the faceless person on the chair appears to be an object. Rudolf Dischinger, who is numbered among the most important artists of Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity) at the end of the 1920s, met Julius Bissier in1934 who likewise developed surreal defamiliarisations during the 1930s alluding to the impending menace of Nacism in the form of new, highly individual compositions."

Левій Матвій, (також Святий Матвій; євангеліст Матвій; Левій Алфєєв) - один з дванадцяти апостолів, найближчих учнів Ісуса Христа, персонаж Нового Завіту. Вважається автором першого канонічного Євангелія – Євангелія від Матвія.
На вітрилах купола традиційні чотири євангелісти, а під ними, у вигляді таємничих апокаліптичних тварин, що зустрічаються в Книзі пророка Єзекіїля та Одкровенні Іоанна Богослова, притаманні їм в іконографії, їх символічні зображення - істоти стали символами євангелістів та формою їхнього традиційного зображення з VII століття.

A medieval panel depicting “The Alchemist”.
The word alchemist comes from alchemy, which has origins in the Greek word khemeia, meaning "art of transmuting metals." Active since ancient times, alchemists could be considered very early chemists because of their work trying to transform base metals into gold. Alchemists could also be considered wizards because they attempted to make special elixirs that would give everlasting life and cure sickness.
A beautiful depiction of Ganesha, remover of obstacles and the lord of new beginnings.
I have mixed feelings about seeing deities and Buddhas in commercial settings such as a garden centres, alongside garden gnomes, dragons and flowerpot people.
But looking beyond to when these figures are in people's homes and gardens and giving them pleasure and maybe inspiring peaceful contemplation and then my mood changes to something more open to compassion.
Love, Light and abiding Peace to all sentient beings.

Chinese opera is held at Pulau Ubin on festive occasions such as the Hungry Ghost Festival and the Tua Pek Kong festival.
It depicts Christ's last joint Easter meal with his disciples on the eve of his arrest and crucifixion. During the meal, Christ instituted the sacrament of the Eucharist, gave parting instructions, predicted renunciation Peter and the betrayal of Judas (Mt. 26:17-29; Mk. 14:12-25; Lk. 22:7-38; In. 13:1 - 17:26).
After the words of Jesus: "One of you will betray Me", the disciples began to look at each other, not understanding who He was talking about. Each of them asks, "Am I not?" To Judas, Christ gives an affirmative answer: "You said," to the rest he answers with a hint: "He who dipped his hand in salt with Me."
Зображено останню спільну пасхальну трапезу Христа з учнями напередодні Його взяття під варту і хресної страти. Під час трапези Христос встановив таїнство Євхаристії, дав прощальні напучування, передрік зречення Петра та зраду Іуди (Мф. 26:17-29; Мк. 14:12-25; Лк. 22:7-38; Ін. 13:1 — 17:26).
Після слів Ісуса: «Один з вас зрадить Мене» учні стали переглядатися, не розуміючи, про кого Він говорить. Кожен з них запитує: «Чи не я?» Іуді Христос дає ствердну відповідь: «Ти сказав», решті відповідає натяком: «Той, хто омочив зі Мною руку в солило».
«У вівтарі Трапезної церкви Г. І. Попов написав «Тайну вечерю». Художнє розкриття композиції є цілком традиційним для церковного мистецтва. Автор застосував той тип «Тайної вечері», коли історичні обставини прощальної трапези є поєднаними з літургійною сутністю Євхаристії. На довгій прямокутній білій скатертині живописець зображує хліб і потир із вином. Ліворуч на підлозі – предмети, що залишилися після омивання ніг: глечик, рушник і мідниця.
Реакцію апостолів на слова, сказані Христом, автор убачає в діаметрально протилежних імпульсах. Група учнів ліворуч мимоволі подалася вперед, група апостолів, яку написано праворуч, відринула, вражена почутим, назад. Христа зображено відчуженим від подій, що відбуваються навколо нього: у цю хвилину він немов провидить майбутнє.
Художник не ставить за мету відокремлювати Іуду від інших учнів за допомогою рухів чи погляду. Від переживань, які охопили його товаришів, Іуду відсторонено його власними думками. Хвиля емоційного пориву не торкнулася душі апостола, який вже зробив вибір і сам собі підписав вирок зрадника. Після пророчих слів Господа, які щойно прозвучали, Іуда застиг: його пальці, що судорожно потягли було скатертину, торкнувшись її, завмерли; кисть руки ніби скам’яніла, приросла до гаманця; застигли очі, що вдивляються в себе і нічого там, незрячі, не бачать. Вираз величезних Іудиних очей художникові особливо вдався. Майже непомітно він скошує праву зіницю, завдяки чому погляд, який втратив спрямованість, не може покинути очниць. Виразний психологічній образ Іуди, «речі в собі», – формують саме очі персонажа».

For Macro Mondays theme; "Star". (An enameled lapel pin depicting Alaska's state flag - measuring 3/4 x 1/2 inch in size.)
HMM!
The following lyrics from Alaska's state song . . .
Eight stars of gold on a field of blue -
Alaska's flag. May it mean to you
The blue of the sea, the evening sky,
The mountain lakes, and the flower's nearby;
The gold of the early sourdough's dreams,
The precious gold of the hills and streams;
The brilliant stars in the northern sky,
The "Bear" - the "Dipper" - and, shining high,
The great North Star with its steady light,
Over land and sea a beacon bright.
Alaska's flag - to Alaskans dear,
The simple flag of a last frontier.
The Black & White depiction of this arch increases the interest somewhat, at least for me, by removing the distraction of the red colors against the blue and white sky. I like how the shades of black and gray, and the lines of the rock pop out in this phot.
This black-and-white image depicts an elegant woman seen from behind, standing on a train station platform.
She is wearing a long dress and holding a handbag.
Her hair and dress appear to be swept by the air displacement caused by a high-speed train passing on the left, visible as blurred lines that emphasize its rapid motion.
The background highlights the metallic and geometric structure of the station, with intense light at the end of the platform, creating a dramatic and dynamic atmosphere.

Excerpt from wanderwomom.wordpress.com/2022/11/01/hong-kongs-art-lane-...:
Transformation by Riitta Kuisma, Finland | Depicts the urban transformation process by incorporating splash paint and train (not in photo) as artistic elements; vivid butterflies (not in photo) and a young dancing girl with flute as musical elements and infiltrating vitality, happiness and positive elements through vibrant colours.
The murals depict a magnificent tribute to five Coonalpyn Primary School children, whose images will now live on in the history of the town forever. The lucky five were six-year-olds Kiarah Leske and Blake Thompson, five-year-olds Macey Jacobs and Reef Gregor and nine-year-old Ciara Johnson. The children are in various poses with two children looking to be actually drawing onto the face of two of the silos.
The Viterra Coonalpyn Silos were the first silos to be painted in South Australia and are the seventh silos to be included in the Australian Silo Art Trail Collection. They were completed in March 2017.
They were painted by world-renowned large scale mural artist Guido van Helten who was given full creative license to create what he believed would best reflect community spirit, culture and local identity.
