  1. The paintings of this #baroque #cupola in #Rome pass over the frieze in an attempt to achieve more realism, as if the figures where really on a different plane compared to the building surfaces. #church #architecture #ornaments.

  2. Ambivalent about whether to buy the 2025 White House Christmas from the WH Historical Association, but it is private and non-profit organization, and was formed by Jacqueline Kennedy.I feel it isn't politicized (or at least it hasn't been pressured yet). This year it's the plates for used for state dinners commemorating 150 years of those, and it seems topical since someone is illegally building a new ballroom to ostensibly and ostentatiously hold grift sessions state dinners for up to 999 people.

  3. A view of the magnificent #cupola in the #Baroque church of Saint Ivo alla Sapienza, #Rome. Architect Francesco #Borromini based the design on simple geometric shapes yet achieved surfaces that seem to flow through the space with remarkable dynamism. #architecture #ornaments
