Die Fontana Maggiore ist der wohl berühmteste mittelalterliche Brunnen, mit dem die Stadt Perugia ihr stolzes Selbstbewusstsein zum Ausdruck brachte. Am Brunnen, für den das Wasser über eigens erbaute Aquädukte herangeführt werden musste, nennt eine Inschrift 1278 als Jahr der Vollendung, Fra' Bevignate als Bauleiter, den Venezianer Boninsegna als Verantwortlichen für die Wasserleitung und Nicola und Giovanni Pisano als Bildhauer.
Thema des unteren Beckens ist der Sündenfall und die Vertreibung aus dem Paradies, was zur Folge hatte, dass die Menschen entsprechend dem Jahreszyklus für ihren Lebensunterhalt arbeiten mussten, dass sie sich in Machtkämpfe, Mord und Totschlag verstrickten und dass sie ihre Ignoranz durch Lernen überkommen konnten.
Thema des mittlere Becken sind historische Persönlichkeiten sowie Personifiaktionen, die für das politische Selbstverständnis Perugias beziehungsweise für die Heilsgeschichte von Bedeutung waren. Die 24 Skulpturen sind aus Carrara-Marmor gearbeitet.
Thema des oberen Beckens ist eine damals typische Frauenarbeit, die es auch heute noch in vielen Ländern gibt. Drei Frauen (auch als Grazien oder Nymphen bezeichnet) tragen Amphoren über ihren Köpfen und gießen Wasser in die Schale. Die Bronzegreifen, Symbol Perugias, die einst den Abschluss bildeten, befinden sich heute im Museum.

Die Kurstadt Bad Ems, die zu beiden Seiten der Lahn liegt, hatte ihre Glanzzeit im 19. Jh., als dort Kaiser Wilhelm I., Zar Alexander II. und viele Künstler kurten und man von der Sommerhauptstadt Europas sprach.
An der Villenpromenade liess Kaiser Wilhelm I. eine Kirche für sich und andere protestantische Kurgäste im neoromanischen Stil errichten. Die Vollendung erlebte er jedoch nicht mehr, und nach dem Tod des Kaisers sorgte der Kurgast Pastor Friedrich von Bodelschwingh für die Fortführug der Bauarbeiten nach den Idealen des protestantischen Kirchenbaus des 19. Jh. Dieses Fresko stellt König David mit der Harfe dar.
En Gedi is the largest oasis along the western shore of the Dead Sea. The area was allotted to the tribe of Judah, and was famous in the time of Solomon (Josh 15:62).
Ein Gedi served as a place of refuge for King David as he fled from Saul. 1 Samuel 23:29 says that David "dwelt in strongholds at En Gedi". In a cave near here, David cut off the corner of Saul's robe (1 Sam 24).
Unfortunately, on the day we were here we were not able to go down close to the image pictured, but had to view it from an overlook. There had been flash flooding due to overnight rain, and on a previous date two people had been washed into the Dead Sea when this happened (one survived and one didn't).

David Kalakaua (1836-1891) - King of Hawaii this sculpture in Honolulu - "David" is about as un-Hawaiian a name as you could imagine as their language doesn't use the letter D. Another picture of another statue of King David is here

Although faded, the paintwork on the statues is said to be original.
If you only visit one place in Burgos make it the Cathedral. It is the best example along the Camino of medieval genres and art styles. If you take your Pilgrim’s Passport you can avail of the 50% discount entrance fee for pilgrims.
It is surprising that the Gothic style of Burgos Cathedral is coherent, as it was constructed over a period of three hundred years. The cathedral was founded by Fernando III on 20th July 1221 and was not consecrated until 1260. However the first mass was celebrated in 1230, mainly due to the fund raising and building management of Bishop Mauricio. The bishop died in 1238 before even the ceilings were closed, but the style of the building was his vision which lived on.
West Facade: the three portals in the facade are late 17th century, and have been described as mutilation of the building, this though did not affect the story and impression the facade communicated. The eight kings in the middle arcade reminded people of the link between royalty and divine power. However directly above the kings arcade is the statue of the Virgin, by Juan de Colonia, illustrating how even the monarchy were inferior to the church. The central door was for royalty when they entered in a procession. The four statues level with the top of the door are of Bishop Asterio, Bishop Asterio, Alfonso VI, and Fernando III.
South Facade: this is the main tourist entrance. The statue between the door is Bishop Mauricio, above are the 12 Apostles, with Christ in Majesty presiding over all, surrounded by scribes passing on the word of God.
The north portal again has Christ in Majesty, this time being beseeched by the Virgin and St John interceding for humanity. This theme continues with images of divine judgement, the weighing of souls, and sinners being punished.
The interior of the cathedral is massive and the layout map paid for by your entrance fee will be helpful. The cruciform floor plan, the shape of a crucifix, is 106 meters long. The three naves are separated by massive columns and are surrounded by fifteen chapels, the cloisters, and the Bishop’s Palace. You could easily spend a day exploring the inside of the cathedral. The main altar retable, dates from 1562, is Renaissance and narrates the life of the Virgin. The tomb of El Cid and his wife are in the transept after being re-interred in 1921 for a second time. The choir is 16th century with Renaissance lateral stalls. At the end of the stalls is the bishop’s throne, and in the centre of the choir is the 13th century tomb of Bishop Mauricio.

Illustration from "La Sainte Bible : Ancien Testament . . . / Compositions par J.-James Tissot"; with preface by Antonin Gilbert Sertillanges (1863-1948), introduction by Maurice de Brunoff (1861-1937) and the translation into French of Isaac-Louis Lemaistre de Saci (1613-1684). 2 volumes. Paris: M. de Brunoff & Cie, 1904. The illustrations were originated by James Tissot (1836-1902) who sketched as he read Scripture.
The edition, of which 561 copies were printed, contains 360 mounted colour, black-and-white and duo-tone illustrations in the text and 40 plates in three states: sepia-tone, partly hand-coloured, and finished coloured state. The plates are protected with captioned tissue-guards. The paper size is 15.75 x 13 ins; image size varies (circa 8.5 x 5.5 ins).
The paintings for all 400 Illustrations were based exclusively on the complete sketches (the inspiration being entirely Tissot's). The first 200 illustrations covering the Book of Genesis through to the story of Jephthah's daughter in the Book of Judges were painted by Tissot. The last remaining 200 illustrations were painted after Tissot's death in 1902 by Henri Bellery-Desfontaines, Auguste François Gorguet, Charles Hoffbauer, Louis van Parys, Michel Simonidy and Georges Bertin Scott.
