BLACK & WHITE SUNDAY: CEILING

BLACK & WHITE SUNDAY: CEILING

Paula at Lost in Translation presented us a challenge: the theme for this photo challenge in black and white is “ceiling”

This photo was taken at the Palácio da Bolsa (Stock Exchange Palace) is a historical building in Porto, Portugal. The palace was built in the 19th century by the city’s Commercial Association (Associação Comercial) in Neoclassical style. It is located in the Infante D. Henrique Square in the historical centre of Porto, designated World Heritage Site by UNESCO. (Wikipedia)

The Arab Room holds the highest prominence of all the rooms of the palace due, as the name implies, to nineteenth-century gold-stucco stuccoes with Arabic characters that fill the walls and ceiling of the room.

Weekly Photo Challenge – Collage

The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge for the week of July 12, 2017.

The Triptych of Temptation of St. Anthony is an oil painting on wood panel by Hieronymus Bosh, dating from around 1501.

The left panel depicts the flight and fall of Saint Anthony, the centre panel shows the temptations he was subjected to, the right panel depicts the contemplation of Saint Anthony.

I was lucky when I was taken this photo at Óbidos (Portugal), for me is like a collage about mental and spiritual torments. If you want to know more about, go to the “Wikipedia
