rather theatrical protest against executions in iran taking place in whitehall today as huge crowd of mainly middle-class anti-brexit marchers filed past.

With BrickFair VA next week, and Guardians of the Galaxy releasing right in the middle of it, I’ve been going out of my mind with preparation for both the convention and my figures for this cosmic installment into the MCU. So similar to what I did a couple years back with The Avengers, I’ve taken The LEGO Group’s team of Guardians figures and upgraded them in which ever way possible! However the only exception to this is Groot, that floral colossus is entirely my own figure, with a fully sculpted head. The LEGO Group’s poor execution of him in the set is what led me to do what they should have done, and that long process started with a pair of Toy Story arms & legs.

I’ll get into all of this in further detail when I post the final photo of these figures on the 31st, but I can’t wait to start recording the showcase, and I will be displaying these along with the rest of my figures at BrickFair VA. Though I should mention, Star-Lord’s arm’s and legs look quite different than they did when I took this photo ;)

Bernardo Daddi (Borgo San Lorenzo, about 1290 - Florence, 1348) - Processional Cross (1335 -1340) - tempera painting 58.9 x 33 cm. - Poldi Pezzoli Museum, Milan

L’opera è un capolavoro della maturità di Bernardo Daddi, pittore di scuola giottesca attivo a Firenze nel secondo quarto del Trecento. Questa tipologia di croce, con immagini sacre su entrambi i lati, è definita "astìle", in quanto veniva mostrata ai fedeli durante processioni e altre cerimonie pubbliche, sorretta da una lunga asta. Sul verso della tavola sono raffigurati tre santi decapitati, in ginocchio e a mani giunte: in alto, san Paolo, con la lunga barba nera a punta e la testa calva; a sinistra, san Giacomo Maggiore; a destra, san Giovanni Battista, con la capigliatura e la barba disordinate e incolte, e il volto emaciato e ascetico. La presenza, inconsueta in una croce, di queste macabre immagini, indica che la tavola era originariamente destinata al conforto dei condannati a morte: alcuni gruppi di individui, riuniti in confraternite laiche, nei secoli passati si assumevano il compito di portare il conforto religioso ai condannati all’esecuzione, per indurli a confessarsi e ad accettare con rassegnazione cristiana la morte, sull’esempio di Gesù e dei santi martiri. Su questo stesso lato della croce sono mostrati, in basso, due santi domenicani, san Pietro Martire e san Tommaso d’Aquino, a indicare che la confraternita che commissionò questo dipinto era promossa e sostenuta dall’ordine dei Frati predicatori. Sul recto, alle più tradizionali immagini della Vergine Maria, di san Giovanni Evangelista e del Redentore si accompagna, in basso, l’insolita figura di un cadavere scarnificato, probabilmente un’allusione allo stesso condannato, vestito con la tunica nera dell’esecuzione che lasciava il collo libero per la decapitazione. Questa croce è tra i primi esempi di dipinti destinati al conforto dei condannati a morte - che si siano conservati fino ai giorni nostri - una tipologia molto rara nel Trecento, ma che conobbe una diffusione assai maggiore nel XV e nel XVI secolo. A.D

The work is a masterpiece of the maturity of Bernardo Daddi, a painter of the Giotto school active in Florence in the second quarter of the fourteenth century. This type of cross, with sacred images on both sides, is called "astìle," because it was shown to the faithful during processions and other public ceremonies, supported by a long pole. On the back of the panel are three decapitated saints, kneeling and with joined hands: above, Saint Paul, with his long black pointed beard and bald head; on the left, Saint James the Greater; on the right, Saint John the Baptist, with his hair and beard untidy and unkempt, and his emaciated and ascetic face. The presence, unusual in a cross, of these macabre images, indicates that the table was originally intended for the comfort of those condemned to death. In past centuries, groups of individuals, united in lay confraternities, took on the task of bringing religious comfort to those condemned to execution, to induce them to confess and accept death with Christian resignation, following the example of Jesus and the holy martyrs. On this same side of the cross are shown, below, two Dominican saints, Saint Peter Martyr and Saint Thomas Aquinas, indicating that the confraternity that commissioned this painting was promoted and supported by the order of the Preaching Friars. On the front, the more traditional images of the Virgin Mary, Saint John the Evangelist, and the Redeemer are accompanied at the bottom by the unusual figure of a stripped corpse, probably an allusion to the condemned man himself, dressed in the black execution tunic that left his neck free for decapitation. This cross is among the earliest examples of paintings intended for the comfort of those condemned to death - which have been preserved to this day - a type that was very rare in the fourteenth century, but which became much more widespread in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.

Second time around for this photo...i'm going to leave it, thank you my friends

The Conversion on the Way to Damascus is a work by Caravaggio, painted in 1601 for the Cerasi Chapel of the church of Santa Maria del Popolo, in Rome. Across the chapel is a second Caravaggio depicting the Crucifixion of Saint Peter. On the altar between the two is the Assumption of the Virgin Mary by Annibale Carracci.

The two lateral paintings of the Cerasi Chapel were commissioned in September 1600 by Monsignor Tiberio Cerasi, Treasurer-General to Pope Clement VIII who purchased the chapel from the Augustinian friars on 8 July 1600 and entrusted Carlo Maderno to rebuild the small edifice in Baroque style. The contract for the altarpiece with Carracci has not been preserved but it is generally assumed that the document had been signed somewhat earlier, and Caravaggio had to take into consideration the other artist's work and the overall iconographic programme of the chapel.

Although much has been said about the supposed rivalry between the painters, there is no historical evidence about any serious tensions. Both were successful and sought-after artists in Rome. Caravaggio gained the Cerasi commission right after his celebrated works in the Contarelli Chapel had been finished, and Carracci was busy creating his great fresco cycle in the Palazzo Farnese. In these circumstances there was little reason for them to regard each other as business rivals, states Denis Mahon.

The contract signed on 24 September 1600 stipulates that "the distinguished painter, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio" will paint two large cypress panels, ten palms high and eight palms wide, representing the conversion of Saint Paul and the martyrdom of Saint Peter within eight months for the price of 400 scudi. The contract gave a free hand to the painter to choose the figures, persons and ornaments depicted in the way as he saw fit, "to the satisfaction however of his Lordship", and he was also obliged to submit preparatory studies before the execution of the paintings. Caravaggio received 50 scudi as advance payment from the banker Vincenzo Giustiniani with the rest earmarked to be paid on completion. The dimensions specified for the panels are virtually the same as the size of the existing canvasses.

When Tiberio Cerasi died on 3 May 1601 Caravaggio was still working on the paintings as attested by an avviso dated 5 May mentioned that the chapel was being decorated by the hand of the "famosissimo Pittore", Michelangelo da Caravaggio. A second avviso dated 2 June proves that Caravaggio was still at work on the paintings a month later. He completed them sometime before 10 November when he received the final instalment from the heirs of Tiberio Cerasi, the Fathers of the Ospedale della Consolazione. The total compensation for the paintings was reduced to 300 scudi for unknown reasons.

The paintings were finally installed in the chapel on 1 May 1605 by the woodworker Bartolomeo who received four scudi and fifty baiocchi from the Ospedale for his work.

Beginning in 1942, the Natzweiler Struthof concentration camp also became a discreet execution site for many of those condemned to death. The firing squad was made up of the camps SS guards.

More than 460 people were known to habe been executed today, including at the crematorium. But the exact figure is difficult to establish. Men and women murdered at Natzweiler were not all registered in the camp and for the most part were murdered without a trace.

Some of the executions were carried out in the sand quarry. One of the most striking of these executions was that of thirteen young Alsatians from Ballersdorf. On the night of 12 to 13 February 1943, they had tried to pass into Switzerland to escape forced inscription into the German army. Arrested and sentenced to death after a summary trial, they were shot in the Natzweiler sand quarry on 17 February.

La sablière, lieu d’exécution

A partir de 1942, le camp de concentration de Natzweiler-Struthof devient aussi un lieu discret d’exécution pour de nombreux condamnés à mort. Ce sont les gardes SS du camp qui forment le peloton d’exécution.

Plus de 460 exécutions ont été recensées à ce jour, y compris au crématoire. Mais le chiffre exact reste difficile à établir. Les hommes et les femmes assassinés à Natzweiler n’étaient pas tous immatriculés au camp et sont pour la plupart été assassinés sans laisser de traces.

Une partie des exécutions a lieu dans cette sablière. L’une des plus marquantes est celle de treize jeunes Alsaciens de Ballersdorf. Dans la nuit du 12 au 13 février 1943, ils avaient tenté de passer en Suisse pour échapper à l’incorporation de force dans l‘armée allemande. Arrêtés et condamnés à mort après un jugement sommaire, ils ont été fusillés le 17 février à la sablière de Natzweiler.

Exekutionsort Sandgrube

Ab 1942 wird das KZ Natzweiler-Struthof in aller Diskretion auch zu einem Ort, an dem zahlreiche zum Tode Verurteilten hingerichtet werden. Die Hinrichtungskommandos bestehen aus den SS-Wachen im Lager. Bis heute weiß man von über

460 Exekutionen, die auch im Krematorium stattfanden. Doch die genaue Zahl ist schwer zu ermitteln, denn die Männer und Frauen, die in Natzweiler ermordet wurden, waren nicht immer als Lagerinsassen erfasst, und die meisten von ihnen wurden in aller Heimlichkeit ermordet.

Ein Teil der Exekutionen fand in dieser Sandgrube statt.Traurige Berühmtheit erlangte die Hinrichtung von 13 jungen Elsässern aus Ballersdorf, die in der Nacht vom 12. auf den 13 Februar 1943 versucht hatten, sich der Zwangsrekrutierung durch die Deutschen durch Flucht in die Schweiz zu entziehen. Sie wurden gefasst und in einem Schnellverfahren zum Tode verurteilt und am 17. Februar in der Sandgrube in Natzweiler erschossen.

The surviving parts of the Palace of Westminster, and the Houses of Parliament are formed of two main phases: Westminster Hall 1097-99 and the Houses of Parliament (the New Palace of Westminster) which was built from 1835-60, by Sir Charles Barry with detailing, interior decoration and furnishings by Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin.

Pugin's contribution included the perpendicular Gothic detailing of the rhythmic buttresses and bay windows, the close panelling with open and blind tracery and the wealth of sculpture, carved crockets, pinnacles and finials.

Statue of Richard I: Equestrian statue. 1860 by Baron Marochetti. Bronze equestrian statue on granite pedestal with bronze bas-relief panels. Marochetti created this statue originally in plaster and displayed it at the Great Exhibition in 1851. A public campaign led to the bronze copy being made.

Old Palace Yard is known as the site of executions, including those of Sir Walter Raleigh and Guy Fawkes among others.

Mount Rushmore National Memorial is a sculpture carved into the granite face of Mount Rushmore, a batholith in the Black Hills in Keystone, South Dakota, United States. Sculptor Gutzon Borglum created the sculpture's design and oversaw the project's execution from 1927 to 1941 with the help of his son, Lincoln Borglum. Mount Rushmore features 60-foot (18 m) sculptures of the heads of four United States presidents: George Washington (1732–1799), Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826), Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919), and Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865). The memorial park covers 1,278.45 acres (2.00 sq mi; 5.17 km2) and is 5,725 feet (1,745 m) above sea level.

Charles Daubigny (Paris, 3 October 1803 - Paris, 1869) - Villerive-les-graves, sunbeam (1873) - exhibition "Monet and the Impressionists in Normandy. Masterpieces from the Peindre en Normandie Collection "- Palazzo Mazzetti (Asti)

“Monet e gli impressionisti in Normandia" La mostra ripercorre, a partire dai primi decenni dell’Ottocento, i momenti più importanti di questa corrente artistica.

L’impressionismo è un movimento pittorico nato a Parigi nella seconda metà dell’800. Nasce ufficialmente il 15 aprile 1874 in occasione della mostra tenuta nello studio del fotografo Nadar da un gruppo di artisti respinti dal Salon di Parigi, il tempio della pittura ufficiale. La mostra ha un esito disastroso e provoca feroci polemiche. Ispirandosi al titolo del dipinto Impression, soleil levant di Claude Monet, il critico d’arte Louis Leroy defisce ironicamente questi pittori impressionisti. Gli impressionisti lasciano gli atelier per lavorare all’aperto nelle campagne, nelle periferie, nelle piazze. Utilizzano cavalletti portatili e colori a olio in tubetti, fabbricati per la prima volta in questi anni. Lo scopo è cogliere l’impressione visiva della realtà; da qui la necessità di un’esecuzione rapida, senza disegno preliminare, senza ritocchi e sfumature. Il fondamento della tecnica impressionista è lo studio della luce e del colore; per conferire la massima luminosità ai dipinti gli impressionisti accostano direttamente sulla tela i colori puri; aboliscono l’uso del nero per realizzare le ombre, che vengono rese combinando diversi colori. Spesso gli impressionisti rappresentano il medesimo soggetto in diversi momenti del giorno per mostrare come la luce, nel suo continuo divenire, trasformi cose e colori.

"Monet and the Impressionists in Normandy" The exhibition traces the most important moments of this artistic movement starting from the first decades of the nineteenth century.

Impressionism is a pictorial movement born in Paris in the second half of the 19th century. It was officially born on April 15, 1874 on the occasion of the exhibition held in the studio of the photographer Nadar by a group of artists rejected by the Paris Salon, the temple of official painting. The exhibition has a disastrous outcome and causes fierce controversy. Inspired by the title of the painting Impression, soleil levant by Claude Monet, the art critic Louis Leroy ironically defines these impressionist painters. The Impressionists leave the ateliers to work outdoors in the countryside, in the suburbs, in the squares. They use portable easels and oil paints in tubes, manufactured for the first time in these years. The aim is to capture the visual impression of reality; hence the need for rapid execution, without preliminary drawing, without retouching and nuances. The foundation of the Impressionist technique is the study of light and color; to give maximum brightness to the paintings, the Impressionists put pure colors directly on the canvas; they abolish the use of black to create shadows, which are made by combining different colors. Often the Impressionists represent the same subject at different times of the day to show how light, in its continuous evolution, transforms things and colors.

In April 1864 Fernando Maximiliano José María de Habsburgo-Lorena (1832-1867) became Emperor Maximilian I of Mexico. He was not some extremely conservative royalist, but rather a broad-minded thinker who naively sought to 'improve' Mexico politically and socially. He'd reckoned though without the influence of the USA which was still then caught up in their own Civil War. That war however ended and the US with heavy hand meddled in Mexican politics, backing the so-called liberal counter forces to Maximilian's haphazard social rule.

It was a messy time, and soon the emperor was captured (1867) and quickly executed by firing squad (see the inset painting by Édouard Manet [1832-1883]). Maximilian remained much-loved in Habsburg territories, and the German sculptor Johannes Schilling (1828-1910) was commissioned to fashion his statue (1875, inset above left). The statue had a moveable history but now graces the Piazza Venezia near our apartment.

Maximilian was the guiding force behind the construction and execution of Miramare Castle (1856-1860) just up the coast from Trieste; but as is clear from the above he and his wife, Charlotte of Belgium, enjoyed its pleasures for only a very short time.

PS I think it's rather curious to call the Emperor 'I', given that there was no successor.

Mount Rushmore National Memorial is a national memorial centered on a colossal sculpture carved into the granite face of Mount Rushmore (Lakota: Tȟuŋkášila Šákpe, or Six Grandfathers) in the Black Hills near Keystone, South Dakota, United States. Sculptor Gutzon Borglum created the sculpture's design and oversaw the project's execution from 1927 to 1941 with the help of his son, Lincoln Borglum. The sculpture features the 60-foot-tall (18 m) heads of four United States Presidents recommended by Borglum: George Washington (1732–1799), Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826), Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) and Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865). The four presidents were chosen to represent the nation's birth, growth, development and preservation, respectively. The memorial park covers 1,278 acres (2.00 sq mi; 5.17 km2) and the mountain itself has an elevation of 5,725 feet (1,745 m) above sea level.

The sculptor and tribal representatives settled on Mount Rushmore, which also has the advantage of facing southeast for maximum sun exposure. Doane Robinson wanted it to feature American West heroes, such as Lewis and Clark, their expedition guide Sacagawea, Oglala Lakota chief Red Cloud, Buffalo Bill Cody, and Oglala Lakota chief Crazy Horse. Borglum believed that the sculpture should have broader appeal and chose the four presidents.

Peter Norbeck, U.S. senator from South Dakota, sponsored the project and secured federal funding. Construction began in 1927 and the presidents' faces were completed between 1934 and 1939. After Gutzon Borglum died in March 1941, his son Lincoln took over as leader of the construction project. Each president was originally to be depicted from head to waist, but lack of funding forced construction to end on October 31, 1941.

Sometimes referred to as the "Shrine of Democracy", Mount Rushmore attracts more than two million visitors annually.

Mount Rushmore National Memorial is a large-scale mountain sculpture by artist Gutzon Borglum. The figures of America's most prominent U.S. presidents--George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt—represent 150 years of American history.

The Memorial is located near Keystone in the Black Hills of South Dakota, roughly 30 miles from Rapid City.

Each year, approximately three million tourists from all over the world visit Mount Rushmore to experience this patriotic site. Today, the wonder of the mountain reverberates through every visitor. The four "great faces" of the presidents tower 5,725 feet above sea level and are scaled to men who would stand 465 feet tall.

There are many amenities at the site including the Mount Rushmore Audio Tour, Lincoln Borglum Visitor Center & Museum, the Presidential Trail, Youth Exploration Area, Sculptor’s Studio, a parking garage with R.V. parking, pet exercise areas, , the Carvers Café, Memorial Ice Cream Shop, Gift Shop and the Mount Rushmore Bookstores.

Luca Giordano (Naples, October 18, 1634 - Naples, January 12, 1705) - A Cynical Philosopher (1634)- oil on canvas 131 x 103 cm - Alte Pinakothek Munich

Con i suoi ritratti di filosofi, Luca Giordano continua con successo una moda della pittura barocca napoletana iniziata qualche decennio prima da Jusepe de Ribera.

La figura ritratta in modo naturalistico, raffigurante uno studioso poveramente vestito potrebbe essere un simbolo della scuola cinica di filosofi che cercavano di tornare a uno stato naturale dell'esistenza attraverso uno stile di vita ascetico.

Luca Giordano studiò a Napoli nella cerchia di Jusepe de Ribera dal quale, inizialmente, fu influenzato, si interessò in seguito alle opere di Paolo Veronese dal quale assimilò la leggerezza e la luminosità dell'affresco.

Dopo la sua prima opera, datata 1651, Luca Giordano prosegue nella sua notevole produzione di lavori ad olio e in affresco per chiese e palazzi.

I soggetti da lui dipinti variano dai temi religiosi alla mitologia; il suo soprannome era "Luca fa presto" per sottolineare la sua velocità di esecuzione; si dice che abbia dipinto una Pala d'Altare di grandi dimensioni in un solo giorno.

The naturalistically portrayed figure of a poorly dressed scholar could be a symbol of the Cynic school of philosophers who sought to return to a natural state of existence through an ascetic lifestyle.

Luca Giordano studied in Naples in the circle of Jusepe de Ribera by whom he was initially influenced, he later became interested in the works of Paolo Veronese from whom he assimilated the lightness and luminosity of the fresco.

After his first work, dated 1651, Luca Giordano continued his remarkable production of oil paintings and frescoes for churches and palaces.

The subjects he painted ranged from religious themes to mythology; his nickname was "Luca fa presto" to emphasize his speed of execution; it is said that he painted a large altarpiece in a single day.

-- Putnam County's Only Public Execution --

On March 27, 1878, in gallows erected near here at the foot of Billygoat Hill, Joseph and George (Teek) Brassell were hanged in Putnam County's only publicly held execution. The justice system tried, convicted, and sentenced the brothers to death for the slaying of brothers Russell and John Allison during a robbery attempt on November 29, 1875. News of the event made national headlines. Two days after the hangings, The New York Times reported that 10,000 people came to the execution.

Monument to the Victims of the Katyn Massacre, Wrocław, Poland.

The Katyn massacre was a series of mass executions of nearly 22,000 Polish military and police officers, border guards, and intelligentsia prisoners of war carried out by the Soviet Union, specifically the NKVD (the Soviet secret police), at Stalin's order in April and May 1940.

Design (2000): Tadeusz Tchórzewski .

The main sanctuary is topped by a small dome, a crossing where the different architectural parts of the chapel come together. The central mosaic shows Christ Pantocrator surrounded by angels and archangels. Christ Pantocrator, the almighty and omnipotent Christ, is central in Byzantine and Orthodox iconography. Christ holds Scripture with his left hand, and his right hand is raised in a gesture of blessing. These a mosaics of the highest quality, created in the 1140s.

Construction of the Cappella Palatina, the chapel of the Palazzo dei Normanni (Norman Palace), began in 1132 in a Norman-Arabic-Byzantine style under the Norman king Roger II; it was consecrated in 1140. Roger II had the entire chapel decorated in mosaics that were created by Byzantine craftsmen. The execution of the extensive mosaic decor, covering the entire interior, began no later than 1143.

The chapel's oldest mosaics, and the ones of highest quality both artistically and in terms of technique, are the ones in the cupola and its drum. The mosaic decor on the side walls, completed by around 1170, consists of two pictorial cycles. the Old Testament cycle and the stories of apostles Peter and Paul.

Executions used to be held at Campo de 'Fiori. For example, in 1600 philosopher Giordano Bruno was burned alive for heresy. Exactly on the site of his death is now a statue from 1889, in which he faces the Vatican (he was considered a martyr for the freedom of thought). The inscription on the base reads: - A BRUNO - IL SECOLO DA LUI DIVINATO - QUI DOVE IL ROGO ARSE - ("For Bruno - the century he predicted - here where the fire was burning"). Special fact about this square is that it is the only square in the center of Rome without a church. ~ RomeSite.com

The Colosseum is an amphitheater from the time of the Roman Empire, built in the 1st century located in the center of the city of Rome. It was originally called Flavian Amphitheater (Amphitheatrum Flavium), in honor of the Flavian dynasty of emperors who built it, and it was called Colosseum by a large statue located next to it, the Colossus of Nero, not currently preserved. For its conservation and history, the Colosseum is one of the most famous monuments of classical antiquity. It was declared a World Heritage Site in 1980 by Unesco and as one of the New Seven Wonders of the Modern World on July 7, 2007.

In antiquity it had a capacity for 50,000 spectators, with eighty rows of stands. Those who were close to the arena were the Emperor and the senators, and as they ascended the lower strata of society were located. Gladiator fights and public shows took place in the Colosseum. It was built just east of the Roman Forum, and the works began between 70 d. C. and 72 d. C., under the command of Emperor Vespasian. The amphitheater, which was the largest ever built in the Roman Empire, was completed in 80 AD. C. by the Emperor Titus, and was modified during the reign of Domitian. Its inauguration lasted 100 days, involving all the Roman people and dying in its celebration dozens of gladiators and beasts who gave their lives for the pleasure and the spectacle of the people.

The Colosseum was used for almost 500 years, celebrating the last games of history in the sixth century, much later than the traditional date of the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD. C .. The Byzantines also used it during the 6th century. As well as gladiatorial fights, many other public spectacles took place here, such as naumaquias, animal hunts, executions, recreations of famous battles, and plays based on classical mythology. The building ceased to be used for these purposes in the High Middle Ages. Later, it was reused as a refuge, factory, seat of a religious order, fortress and quarry. From its ruins, abundant material was extracted for the construction of other buildings, until it was converted into a Christian sanctuary, in honor of the prisoners martyred during the early years of Christianity. This measure helped to stop their looting and to seek their conservation.

Although the structure is seriously damaged due to earthquakes and stonemasons, the Coliseum has always been seen as an icon of Imperial Rome and is one of the best preserved examples of Roman architecture. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions of modern Rome and is still closely linked to the Roman Catholic Church, so the pope heads the way to the amphitheater every Holy Friday.
