I set a challenge of turning myself into a Tudor ( ish ) style painting in Photoshop. I used a combination of the new generative fill tool and various stock photos. It’s not perfect but then again neither were real Tudor paintings 😅

Revisiting the career of one of the most interesting figures from medieval Wales, outlaw prince of Powys: Owain ap Cadwgan. The first takeaway is that after the death of Gruffudd ap Llywelyn, first and only king of all Wales, Wales was left in a bit of a position. Gruffudd's brothers Rhiwallon and Bleddyn, who had conspired against their brother and abetted in his destruction, were left in control of Gwynedd/Powys...1

100th birthday of an "old-school" bavarian historian. It was him who deeply analyzed the military nazi oath to Hitler. The oath was the main symbol to follow Hitler to "hour of zero". (Death) Also, many books about the holy German Roman Empire and the souvereignity of bavaria from him became after 1945 a common base.

Why is J. Edgar Hoover still praised today? A heavy dose of plain ignorance is my leading theory. The real story of his prejudice and hate should be spoken of more in the classrooms.

Wenn man es fließend lesen kann und dabei merkt, man liest wohl zu oft solche Texte. 😅

Have been cleaning my library (yes, your books need to be vacuum-cleaned from time to time).

This one 📖 brings back sweet memories of hangin-out in Germany 🪦
I still sincerely believe that if you want to know a city, you have to see its cemeteries.

Unlocking the secrets of the past and marveling at the intricate masterpieces of the Book of Kells exhibit at Trinity Library. These ancient manuscripts are a true testament to the skill and artistry of our ancestors.

@QuacksAnonymous as a , I stumbled upon Graham Hancock, then caught his recent documentary, and the vibe is strong.

Fun fact:

“The first recorded criticism of Jews is found at the beginning of the 3rd century BC writings of an Egyptian priest called Manetho. He devoted a large section of his main work, which deals with the history of Egypt, to the Exodus of the Israelites.”

HI all!
Been a Mastadon user for a few years but just moved from a smaller instance to here due to newsie.social having a more robust federation. Yes, that decision was part of the Great Bird Diaspora. Politics and media junkie. A few topics that serve as my bright shiny objects:

Let's just stop the photoshoot for a second to admire the beauty of this old book. Old print makes each page such a joy to look at.
This is a play, "A Cure for the Heart-Ache", a Comedy in Five acts. Printed in 1797. I like to think of all the people who have been holding this book before me, and what kind of room the book has been living in.

Hello there,

I'm Sibylle, a beginner illustrator from France !

My favorite thing to draw are all sorts of strange, legendary creatures.
I'm rather passionate about history, so I like to draw a lot of knights too ! I am particularly inspired by medieval art and the Victorian era.

I'm here to interact with other artists and show my work to new people. I hope you will like it !
