Let's get some positivity going

Vermeer 1658

Eisinga Planetarium 1781

Transformed his house into a fully and precisely working mechanical planetarium, complete with correction tables, counterweight schedules etc.

Still works today! (237 years of operation).

Slag bij Kijkduin

Bouguereau's "pieta".

back when everyone on these two islands fought alongside one another....

Is that the Spanish Inquisition?

Well, not to remove blame from our autistic treatment of Catholics, but you could have waited a few years for home rule.

To be fair they could've been sitting there for 30 minutes.
I appreciate paintings like these however I can't look at something for so long in one session and appreciate it..

Btw keep posting dutch guy, saved a bunch.

Wow, that's amazing! Thanks for sharing.

The kind of tricks these guys may have been employing 400 years ago would have been black magic voodoo at the time.

Does anyone have a good online course that would cover Western Civ 101 at a typical university? Most of the elite schools don't teach this anymore, and at Stanford they had a major uproar when some students tried to add the class back to the curriculum.

No, they're just cardinals, they are being inquisitive, though.
>According to the artist, two Cardinals question who may have fled the palace. While one holds a rope ladder, the other grasps a lady's slipper and an officer's epaulette that he found in the snow, each "convicting" proofs that an elopement has just occurred.

Mooi alleen smerige watermark haha, meer aub

This is a great 3 min course for universities.
Clearly shows the differences between western and islamic culture.

Because the Gothic dome makes it extremely unique. Gothic architecture only use towers and "spikes", hence incorporating a spherical object, like a dome into a Gothic building without making it look weird is really hard. In fact, I think I only need one hand to count all the Gothic domes in the world.

...

I like this one very much, thank you

Personal favorite

Sieg Heil!
