Messier 13 (NGC 6205) Great Cluster in Hercules.
One of the best globular clusters in the northen skies.
The diameter of M13 is reported as 20arc-mins, while visually in moderately sized scopes it appears more like 13' across. The FoV of the image above is 20'x18' so nearly records the full extent of the cluster. Mouse over the image to show a 13arc-min box.

The extent of the pre-match tailgating proved two things: that it's just as popular an activity in college football and, sadly, it's also the only place you can drink alcohol. The stadium was a booze-free zone.

Regardless of the extent of the ongoing tyranny and oppression I have been forced to deal with in Greece for nearly a decade under the harshest environment, my efforts in finding Justice and Freedom for my life have not stopped and it never will until my last breath.
Hence, on December 23rd, 2022, while enduring day 140th of my 4th Hunger Strike outside the UNHCR office in Athens, I left my shelter again to reach the Indian Embassy and plead for their help in providing urgent Humanitarian aid and mediation with this UN Agency.
Although I managed to speak with two Embassy representatives and even though they said they would help, ultimately they had gotten the Police involved to take me away. This time I was held in Police Custody for 2-hours before being let go.

Cabo da Roca (Cape Roca) is a cape which forms the westernmost extent of mainland Portugal and continental Europe (and by definition the Eurasian land mass). The cape is in the Portuguese municipality of Sintra, near Azóia, in the southwest of the district of Lisbon, forming the westernmost extent of the Serra de Sintra.
The cape is located within the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, 42 kilometres west of the city of Lisbon and in the southwest of Sintra. A location (38°47′N 9°30′W) is inscribed on a stone plaque, located on a monument at the site.
The western coast is a mixture of sand beaches and rocky cliff promontories: around Cabo da Roca, cliffs are more than 100 metres in height, and cut into crystalline rocks, composed of strongly folded and faulted sedimentary units. These forms are disturbed by dikes and small beaches. This promontory of "high" beaches is the extreme western immersion of the ancient eruptive Sintra massif, as evident from the rose-coloured granite in the north and syenite of the Ribeira do Louriçal in the south. In the vicinity of the Cape, there are geomorphological examples of gabbro-diorite, volcanic breccia, and granite.
Part of the granite formations show evidence of strong coastal erosion, while in other areas there are limestone deposits embedded in the granite.
Much of the vegetation in this cape are low-lying and adapted to saltwater and windy conditions. Once home to a variety of plant life, Cabo da Roca has been overrun with the invasive plant species Carpobrotus edulis. This creeping, mat-forming plant, a member of the Aizoaceae succulent family, was introduced as ground cover by local residents several decades ago, but now covers much of the arable land on Cabo da Roca.
Many migratory and marine birds roost temporarily along the cliffs and protected coves of the coastal area.

This is my first attempt at macro shooting with a set of Phottix Extension Tubes... I tried stacking all three tubes on a 50mm f/1.8 but that gave me unusable DOF so I settled for using only the 36mm tube on a Nikkor 105mm DC f/2.0... It did not get me the ultra macro close-ups but gave enough working space and acceptable DOF... Phottix Extention Tubes highly recommended for people who don't or can't buy a dedicated micro/macro lens !

This year's JNUSU elections are taking place in the shadow of the Gujarat carnage. The state-sponsored massacre of innocent members of the minority community which took place in Gujarat in the weeks following the condemnable Godhra inC1dent. shows the extent to which a fascist force can go in order to dtng on to state power It 1s only because of the resilience of the democraticinstitutions of our country that Modi and hiS colleagues could not succeed in gaining immediate political mileage elsewhere in the country from the Gujaratpogrom,but we already have Singhal's wammg .
that "Gujarat is an experiment worth repeatmg across the country. .
This aggressive punuit of the hindutva agenda by the sangh giroh has been taking place at a time when there is a right-ward shift in the wor1d political Situation as awhole. In order to strengthen its imperialisthegemony overthe globe and to deflectdomestic attention from the ongoing economic crisis, .
the United States is set to put its doctrine of 'unilateral pre-emptive strikes' into practice in Iraq. In Palestine the lsraen slate's aggression against the Palestinian liberation movement continues unabated. .
The BJP-ted government in our country has completely surrendered our national interests in favour of US-led imperialism. It has intensified its pursuit of nee-liberal economic policies despite their disastrous impact on the wor1dng people ofourcountry.The selfing off of pubfiC assets .
for a song continues apace, with those in power enriching themselves in the process through innumerable scams. .
The present government has not only intensified its attacks on the livelihood of the people, it has also failed to protect their lives.The repeated terrorist attacks-the attack on the Parliament, J&K Assembly, Kaluchak and recenUy the Akshardham attack-show the impossibility of countering the terrorist threat by draconian laws like POTA. Terrorism can be fought only by uniting the people, something inimical to the sangh's dfvisive politics. .
Concomitant to its aggressive pursuit ofltle hindutva agenda, the RSS-BJP has also intensified its attack In the sphere or ideas. The recently released NCERT textbooks are meant to tum every school of our country into a Saraswati Sishu Mandir where young minds will be poisoned by communal propaganda. In our own university we have faced the renewed attack of privatisation and saffronisation in the form .

'-· The last JNUSU, formed after a massrve mandate by the student community in favour of the SFI-AISF, took the lead in mobilising the universtty community against this attack. ' It was after a long and arduous struggle that the \ Administration was forced to agree that any proposal will be placed before the UGG's X Plan team only if it is .
.
put forward by a specific School/Centre, supported by .
an academic argument, passed by a democratic body .
such as Board of Studies of the School concerned and .
then accepted by the Dean's Committee constituted specifically for this purpose Not only academic proposals but other proposals too will come into the purview of this committee This IS a major breakthrough against the attack of pnvatisation and saffronisation. ensuring that the university's XPlan is prepared by the academic community of the umversity and not according to the directives of the RSS BJP. .
Together with forcing the review of XPlan Proposals, the last ag1tation also succeeded in defeating the BJP-Ied government's plan of foisting a RSS Vice Chancellor in our university The MiniStry, which was inordinately delaying the appointment of a new V.C., perhaps waiting for a more favourable incumbent in Rashtrapati Bhavan, was forced to expedite the process after the JNUSU took up the issue, canying out a massive signature campaign and making a representation to the President of India. .
Throughout this struggle, there were repeated attempt'i of disruption by the RSS-ABVP. On the night f _811 February the ABVP in our campus brought out an extremely provocative communal march targeting students and faculty members from the minority community. The SFI-AISF led· JNUSU organised a series of demonstrations wiltlin and outside the campus in defence of peace and communal hannony. This campaign culminated in a massive human chain in the campus on 1411 March in which more than 600 students, teachers and karamcharts participated. Again on 1O" August a RSS-ABVP mob attacked students who were .
peacefully protesting against the RSS's gurudakshina programme within the Ad.Block in which Ashok Singhal was the Chief Guest .
Together with the mobilisation against the X Plan and the RSS-ABVP's lumpenlsm, struggles were also waged under the JNUSU banner against the concrete manifestation of the policies of privatisation and commercialisation.Some of the issues raised during the course of these struggles are: .
LIBRARY & INTERNET .
4,500 new books came on the shelves of the library among which were also those requisitioned by the students during the Wor1d Book Fair. The DELNET facility for inter-library loan was revived. After the recent agitation, the Administration has agreed to set up apennanent facility In each School office for students to requlsltJon books for the library throughout the year. .
As a result of the JNUSU's struggles, the University Computer Centre has been expanded, as the number of computers mcreased from 6to 24 20 more computers have been promised for this Centre and the Administration has also committed to the provision of 50 new computers for the SLL&CS Language labs. .
.
MAHI-MANDAVI MESS Due to the UGC's ban on the recruitment of non-teaching staff, the Mahi-Mandavi Mess is being run by private contractors. The policies pursued by the HRD Ministry are directly responsible for this, a fact which the ABVP or the other organisations in the opposition are deliberately underplaying in order to put the blame on the outgoing JNUSU SFI-AISF IS completely opposed to the arrangement of private mess facility and demands the provis1on ofregular mess staff in these hostels. As a transparent and accountable interim arrangement, the last Union put forward the proposal of running these messes by co-operative societies. The Mahi-Mandavi GBM has endorsed this proposal and a working committee headed by the Dean of Students has been constituted to take the initiative in forming these co-operatives. .
DISCONTINUATION OF SHORT-TERM COURSES lN SIT As a result of the struggles conducted on the issue of commercialisabon the Administration has been forced to discontinue short-term commercial courses in SIT and the academic council has resolved thatsuch courses will not be offered in the future in SIT. .
SCHOLARSHIP AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE As a result of repeated struggles by the JNUSU the Administration has already started making efforts for the provision of post-matric scholarship for SC/ST students. 8 new scholarships of Rs.1,000/-per month for SCIST sb.Jdents have been revived. The financial assistance to 16 students employed on a part-time basis in the Library h.as been .
increased from Rs.600 p_m. to Rs.900 p.m. After the last agitation the Administration has agreed to the continuation and enhancement of the thesis and field trip grants .
SC/ST QUOTA AND COACHING CLASSES This year a record num~er of 714 students participated in the free coaching classes for JNU entrance run by the .
JNUSU for students from deprived sections. As a resuH of the continued efforts of the JNUSU the SC/ST quota was fulfilled and 23 27% SC/ST students JOined this year .
TRANSPORT FACILITIES Togetherwith the rest ofDelhi, the transport facilities in JNU have deteriorated severely because of the bungling by the Deihl and the Central Governments over the CNG conversion process. Despite this, as a result or the Union's persistent efforts the serv1ces of route no.666 were regulansed, route 507 and 621 extended to JNU and a computerised bus-pass facility setup after repeated representations by the Students' Umon. After the last agitation the Administration has committed to expedite the conversion of the umversity bus to CNG mode. .
.
.
AGENDA FOR 2002-03 .
Carrying foJWard this legacy of struggles the SFI-AJSF would like to take up the following issues in the coming year: .
FINANCIAL & ACADEMIC ASSISTANCE FOR STUDENTS FROM DEPRIVED SECTIONS lnstitul!onal mechanisms are requ1red to ensure that the stud1es of students from sooally, regionally and economically deprived sections is not hampered due to lack of financial support and they can fulfil their academic potential. Our concrete demands are: .
.
Post-matric scholarships should be provided to all SC/ST students. .
.
.
The newly revived university-level placement cell should have provision for providing part-time and full time employment to students from these sections. The Project Cell should also have mandatory provisions for ensuring adequate representation to these students during recruitment for projects. .
.
.
The UGC's grantfor remedial dasses should be used to regularise them, with non-JRFresearch scholars being employed on a part-time basis to teach these courses. .
.
.
Proper audio-visual infrastructure and professional staffshould be provided for English remedial dasses. .
.
.
The powers of the Equal Opportunity Office should be extended to oversee this entire mechanism and its scope must be extended to indude educationally backward, religious and linguistic minorilies. .
.
.
FACULTY RECRUITMENT The delay by the HRD Ministry in appointing a VISitor's nominee is holding up the process of faculty recruitment in JNU leading to a serious farulty shortage in many Schools/ Centres llke CIL. CPS and SC&SS.The SF~SFdemands that the process of faculty recruitment be restarted immediately. .
LIBRARY AND INTERNET FACILITIES We demand immediate implementation of the Administration's commitments regarding acqu:st.Dn O:boo''\'5 based on students' requisitions and upgraoaoon ofc:arl10l.~ internet facilities.

It was a town of great importance in medieval times, to such an extent that it was the first to receive the Charter of Castile in the year 1089. Andaluz, Fandaluz, Handaluz or Andalux, as it is named in some documents, was repopulated by Count Gonzalo Núñez with Andalusian Mozarabs, who probably gave it its name. It had an important Arab castle that defended the gate where the town is strategically located and a crossing point for Muslim raids.
Its magnificent church of San Miguel Arcángel, declared a National Monument, is one of the oldest temples in the province, with a portico and capitals of great artistic value.
From guia de Soria
The church of San Miguel conserves from its original factory from the year 1114 (date that appears on its cover along with the name of the builder, Ansur Piranus), the cover and the gallery, although the latter may be later. The rest was completely rebuilt in the 17th century.
But the cover is an excellent work, both for its design and for its sculptures. Its five archivolts are adorned with boceles, half rounds, jonquils, double zigzag arranged in such a way that it creates a chain of rhombuses, scotland and, on the chambrana, a wide strip of heels. The supports are two thick columns, on each side, as well as jambs with the edge hidden by a baton.
In the innermost capitals we will see, in one, large leaves and in the front one Samson fighting with the lion. In the other pair, on even thicker shafts, four musicians playing their instruments are displayed, and the fight of two knights riding at a gallop trying to knock each other down with their lances. Everything was chiseled with virtuoso art so it is perceived that its author was a sculptor of the highest category.
The decoration of the nine arcades of the portico is more elegant and elaborate, probably dating after the temple. The capitals rest on large paired shafts, with beautiful sculptural representations.
Inside it houses a baptismal font and the carving of a virgin. A large set of medieval funerary steles has appeared in the surroundings of this church.

DESTROYED WHOLESALE HOUSES.
This photograph shows the wreck and ruin wrought by the earthquake and fire in the wholesale district.
But the sacrifice and the labor went for nothing. No human power could stay the flames. As darkness was falling the fire was eating its way through the heart of this residential district. [Pg 55]The mayor was forced to announce that the last hope had been dashed.
All the district bounded by Union, Van Ness, Golden Gate, to Octavia, Hayes, and Fillmore to Market was doomed. The fire fighters, troops, citizens, and city officials left the scene, powerless to do more.
On the morning of the second day when the fire reached the municipal building on Portsmouth square, the nurses, helped by soldiers, got out fifty bodies in the temporary morgue and a number of patients in the receiving hospital. Just after they reached the street a building was blown up and the flying bricks and splinters hurt a number of the soldiers, who had to be taken to the out of doors Presidio Hospital with the patients.
Mechanics’ pavilion, which, after housing prize fights, conventions, and great balls, found its last use as an emergency hospital. When it was seen that it could not last every vehicle in sight was impressed by the troops, and the wounded, some of them frightfully mangled, were taken to the Presidio, where they were out of danger and found comfort in tents.
The physicians worked without sleep and almost without food. There was food, however, for the injured; the soldiers saw to that. Even the soldiers flagged, and kept guard in relays, while the relieved men slept on the ground where they dropped.
The troops shut down with iron hands on the city, for where one man was homeless the first night five were homeless the second night. With the fire running all along the water front, few managed to make their way over to Oakland. The people for the most part were prisoners on the peninsula.
The soldiers enforced the rule against moving about except to escape the flames, and absolutely no one could enter the city who once had left.
The seat of city government and of military authority shifted with every shift of the flames. Mayor Schmitz and General Funston stuck close together and kept in touch with the firemen [Pg 56]and police, the volunteer aids, and the committee of safety through couriers.
There were loud reverberations along the fire line at night. Supplies of gun cotton and cordite from the Presidio were commandeered and the troops and the few remaining firemen made another futile effort to check the fiery advance.
Along the wharves the fire tugs saved most of the docks. But the Pacific mail dock had been reached and was out of control; and finally China basin, which was filled in for a freight yard at the expense of millions of dollars, had sunk into the bay and the water was over the tracks. This was one of the greatest single losses in the whole disaster.
Without sleep and without food, crowds watched all night Wednesday and all day Thursday from the hills, looking off toward that veil of fire and smoke that hid the city which had become a hell.
Back of that sheet of fire, and retreating backward every hour, were most of the people of the city, forced toward the Pacific by the advance of the flames. The open space of the Presidio and Golden Gate park was their only haven and so the night of the second day found them.
[Pg 57]
CHAPTER III.
THIRD DAY ADDS TO HORROR.
Fire Spreads North and South Attended by Many Spectacular Features—Heroic Work of Soldiers Under General Funston—Explosions of Gas Add to General Terror.
THE third day of the fire was attended by many spectacular features, many scenes of disaster and many acts of daring heroism.
When night came the fire was raging over fifty acres of the water front lying between Bay street and the end of Meiggs and Fisherman’s wharf. To the eastward it extended down to the sea wall, but had not reached the piers, which lay a quarter of a mile toward the east.
The cannery and warehouses of the Central California Canneries Company, together with 20,000 cases of canned fruit, was totally destroyed, as also was the Simpson and other lumber companies’ yards.
The flames reached the tanks of the San Francisco Gas Company, which had previously been pumped out, and had burned the ends of the grain sheds, five in number, which extended further out toward the point.
Flame and smoke hid from view the vessels that lay off shore vainly attempting to check the fire. No water was available except from the waterside and it was not until almost dark that the department was able to turn its attention to this point.
At dusk the fire had been checked at Van Ness avenue and Filbert street. The buildings on a high slope between Van Ness and Polk, Union and Filbert streets were blazing fiercely, fanned by a high wind, but the blocks were so sparsely settled [Pg 58]that the fire had but a slender chance of crossing Van Ness at that point.
Mayor Schmitz, who directed operations at that point, conferred with the military authorities and decided that it was not necessary to dynamite the buildings on the west side of Van Ness. As much of the fire department as could be collected was assembled to make a stand at that point.
To add to the horrors of the general situation and the general alarm of many people who ascribed the cause of the subterranean trouble to another convulsion of nature, explosions of sewer gas have ribboned and ribbed many streets. A Vesuvius in miniature was created by such an upheaval at Bryant and Eighth streets. Cobblestones were hurled twenty feet upward and dirt vomited out of the ground. This situation added to the calamity, as it was feared the sewer gas would breed disease.
Thousands were roaming the streets famishing for food and water and while supplies were coming in by the train loads the system of distribution was not in complete working order.
Many thousands had not tasted food or water for two and three days. They were on the verge of starvation.
The flames were checked north of Telegraph hill, the western boundary being along Franklin street and California street southeast to Market street. The firemen checked the advance of flames by dynamiting two large residences and then backfiring. Many times before had the firemen made such an effort, but always previously had they met defeat.
But success at that hour meant little for San Francisco.
The flames still burned fitfully about the city, but the spread of fire had been checked.
A three-story lodging house at Fifth and Minna streets collapsed and over seventy-five dead bodies were taken out. There were at least fifty other dead bodies exposed. This building [Pg 59]was one of the first to take fire on Fifth street. At least 100 people were lost in the Cosmopolitan on Fourth street.
The only building standing between Mission, Howard, East and Stewart streets was the San Pablo hotel. The shot tower at First and Howard streets was gone. This landmark was built forty years ago. The Risdon Iron works were partially destroyed. The Great Western Smelting and Refining works escaped damages, also the Mutual Electric Light works, with slight damage to the American Rubber Company, Vietagas Engine Company, Folger Brothers’ coffee and spice house was also uninjured and the firm gave away large quantities of bread and milk.
Over 150 people were lost in the Brunswick hotel, Seventh and Mission streets.
The soldiers who rendered such heroic aid took the cue from General Funston. He had not slept. He was the real ruler of San Francisco. All the military tents available were set up in the Presidio and the troops were turned out of the barracks to bivouac on the ground.
In the shelter tents they placed first the sick, second the more delicate of the women, and third, the nursing mothers, and in the afternoon he ordered all the dead buried at once in a temporary cemetery in the Presidio grounds. The recovered bodies were carted about the city ahead of the flames.
Many lay in the city morgue until the fire reached that; then it was Portsmouth square until it grew too hot; afterwards they were taken to the Presidio. There was another stream of bodies which had lain in Mechanics’ pavilion at first, and had then been laid out in Columbia square, in the heart of a district devastated first by the earthquake and then by fire.
The condition of the bodies was becoming a great danger. Yet the troops had no men to spare to dig graves, and the young and able bodied men were mainly fighting on the fire line or utterly exhausted.
[Pg 60]It was Funston who ordered that the old men and the weaklings should take this work in hand. They did it willingly enough, but had they refused the troops on guard would have forced them. It was ruled that every man physically capable of handling a spade or a pick should dig for an hour. When the first shallow graves were ready the men, under the direction of the troops, lowered the bodies several in a grave, and a strange burial began.
The women gathered about crying; many of them knelt while a Catholic priest read the burial service and pronounced absolution. All the afternoon this went on.
Representatives of the city authorities took the names of as many of the dead as could be identified and the descriptions of the others. Many, of course, will never be identified.
So confident were the authorities that they had the situation in control at the end of the third day that Mayor Schmitz issued the following proclamation:
“To the Citizens of San Francisco: The fire is now under control and all danger is passed. The only fear is that other fires may start should the people build fires in their stoves and I therefore warn all citizens not to build fires in their homes until the chimneys have been inspected and repaired properly. All citizens are urged to discountenance the building of fires. I congratulate the citizens of San Francisco upon the fortitude they have displayed and I urge upon them the necessity of aiding the authorities in the work of relieving the destitute and suffering. For the relief of those persons who are encamped in the various sections of the city everything possible is being done. In Golden Gate park, where there are approximately 200,000 homeless persons, relief stations have been established. The Spring Valley Water Company has informed me that the Mission district will be supplied with water this afternoon, between 10,000 and 12,000 gallons daily being available. Lake Merced will be taken by the federal troops and that supply protected.
“Eugene E. Schmitz, Mayor.”
[Pg 61]Although the third day of San Francisco’s desolation dawned with hope, it ended in despair.
In the early hours of the day the flames, which had raged for thirty-six hours, seemed to be checked.
Then late in the afternoon a fierce gale of wind from the northwest set in and by 7 o’clock the conflagration, with its energy restored, was sweeping over fifty acres of the water front.
The darkness and the wind, which at times amounted to a gale, added fresh terrors to the situation. The authorities considered conditions so grave that it was decided to swear in immediately 1,000 special policemen armed with rifles furnished by the federal government.
In addition to this force, companies of the national guard arrived from many interior points.
In the forenoon, when it was believed the fire had been checked, the full extent of the destitution and suffering of the people was seen for the first time in near perspective. While the whole city was burning there was no thought of food or shelter, death, injury, privation, or loss. The dead were left unburied and the living were left to find food and a place to sleep where they could.
On the morning of the third day, however, the indescribable destitution and suffering were borne in upon the authorities with crushing force. Dawn found a line of men, women, and children, numbering thousands, awaiting morsels of food at the street bakeries. The police and military were present in force, and each person was allowed only one loaf.
A big bakery was started early in the morning in the outskirts of the city, with the announcement that it would turn out 50,000 loaves of bread before night. The news spread and thousands of hungry persons crowded before its doors before the first deliveries were hot from the oven. Here again police and soldiers kept order and permitted each person to take only one loaf. The loaves were given out without cost.
These precautions were necessary, for earlier in the day bread [Pg 62]had sold as high as $1 a loaf and two loaves and a can of sardines brought in one instance $3.50.
Mayor Schmitz took prompt and drastic steps to stop this extortion. By his order all grocery and provision stores in the outlying districts which had escaped the flames were entered by the police and their goods confiscated.
Next to the need for food there was a cry for water, which until Friday morning the authorities could not answer.
In spite of all efforts to relieve distress there was indescribable suffering.
Women and children who had comfortable, happy homes a few days before slept that night—if sleep came at all—on hay on the wharves, on the sand lots near North beach, some of them under the little tents made of sheeting, which poorly protected them from the chilling ocean winds. The people in the parks were better provided in the matter of shelter, for they left their homes better prepared.
Thousands of members of families were separated, ignorant of one another’s whereabouts and without means of ascertaining. The police on Friday opened up a bureau of registration to bring relatives together.

Francisco de Zurbarán (1598-1664,Spanish) - Saint Elizabeth of Thuringia, 1640, oil on canvas, 125×100 cm, Museo de Bellas Artes de Bilbao, Spain.
Renaissance artists had clothed their saints in classical draperies. Adopting to a certain extent the attitude of the Middle Ages, certain 17th century painters, such as Georges de La Tour, Zurbarán, and Caravaggio dressed them in the contemporary fashion. The natural mediators between God and the faithful are thus seen in a kind of mystical familiarity. (Wiki)
----------
Zurbaran Francisco (baptized November 7, 1598, Fuente de Cantos, Spain died August 27, 1664, Madrid). Major painter of the Spanish Baroque, especially noted for religious subjects.His work is characterized by Caravaggesque naturalism and tenebrism, the latter a style in which most forms are depicted in shadow but a few are dramatically lighted.
Zurbarán was apprenticed 1614–16 to Pedro Díaz de Villanueva in Sevilla (Seville), where he spent the greater part of his life. No works by his master have survived, but Zurbarán's earliest known painting, an Immaculate Conception dated 1616, suggests that he was schooled in the same naturalistic style as his contemporary Diego Velázquez. From 1617 to 1628 he was living in Llerena, near his birthplace; then he returned to Sevilla, where he settled at the invitation of the city corporation. In 1634 he visited Madrid and painted a series of Labours of Hercules and two scenes of the Defense of Cádiz, which formed part of the decoration of the Salón de Reinos in the Buen Retiro palace. The Adoration of the Kings, from a series painted for the Carthusian monastery at Jerez, is signed with the title “Painter to the King” and dated 1638, the year in which Zurbarán decorated a ceremonial ship presented to the king by the city of Sevilla. The paintings for the Buen Retiro are the only royal commissions and the only mythological or historical subjects by Zurbarán that are known. His contact with the court had little effect on his artistic evolution; he remained throughout his life a provincial artist and was par excellence a painter of religious life. In 1658 Zurbarán moved to Madrid.
Zurbarán's personal style was already formed in Sevilla by 1629, and its development was probably stimulated by the early works of Velázquez and by the works of José de Ribera. It was a style that lent itself well to portraiture and still life, but it found its most characteristic expression in his religious subjects. Indeed Zurbarán uses naturalism more convincingly than other exponents for the expression of intense religious devotion. His apostles, saints, and monks are painted with almost sculptural modeling and with an emphasis on the minutiae of their dress that gives verisimilitude to their miracles, visions, and ecstasies. This distinctive combination of realism and religious sensibility conforms to the Counter-Reformation guidelines for artists outlined by the Council of Trent (1545–63).
Zurbarán's art was popular with monastic orders in Sevilla and the neighbouring provinces, and he received commissions for many large cycles. Of these, only the legends of St. Jerome and of the Hieronymite monks (1638–39) that decorate the chapel and sacristy of the Hieronymite monastery at Guadalupe have remained in situ.
Little is known of his production in the 1640s apart from an altarpiece at Zafra (1643–44) and records of a large number of paintings destined for Lima, Peru (1647).
By 1658 both the style and the content of Zurbarán's paintings had undergone a change that can be attributed to the influence of Bartolomé Esteban Murillo. In his late devotional pictures, such as Holy Family and Immaculate Conception (1659 and 1661, respectively), the figures have become more idealized and less solid in form, and their expression of religious emotion is marred by sentimentality.
Zurbarán had several followers whose works have been confused with his.

Regardless of the extent of the ongoing tyranny and oppression I have been forced to deal with in Greece for nearly a decade under the harshest environment, my efforts in finding Justice and Freedom for my life have not stopped and it never will until my last breath.
Hence, on December 23rd, 2022, while enduring day 140th of my 4th Hunger Strike outside the UNHCR office in Athens, I left my shelter again to reach the Indian Embassy and plead for their help in providing urgent Humanitarian aid and mediation with this UN Agency.
Although I managed to speak with two Embassy representatives and even though they said they would help, ultimately they had gotten the Police involved to take me away. This time I was held in Police Custody for 2-hours before being let go.
