The Vatican Museums in Rome, Italy. Beautifully detailed arches, elaborate frescoes, and gilded ceilings stretch down this magnificent hallway. I loved how each arch frames the next, drawing your eye deeper into the building.

A series of ornate stone arches recedes into the distance inside the Vatican Museums. Elaborate ceiling frescoes, golden decorative details, and marble columns fill the grand hallway.

A very atmospheric tentacle-like fantasy structure. Giving sci-fi cities a place to exist. Do they stay at a fixed point or always keep moving? https://www.deviantart.com/sylviaritter/art/Speedpainting-30102021-896427560

Horace Walpole by John Giles Eccardt, c. 1755.

An 18th-century oil portrait of a young man with curled brown hair, in a dark blue velvet cloak with a pale blue sash and lace collar and cuffs. He rests one hand on a thick leather-bound book. A red curtain frames him, and a pale castle-like building shows through the window behind.
