Teddyglez1976 - Rincón De Sibaritas

A colossal status of the Roman Emperor Hadrian (r. 117 to 138 CE) found in the ruins of a bathhouse at Sagalossos, a Greco-Roman city in south-central Turkey. It is estimated the statue stood between 13 and 16 feet (4 and 5 meters) tall. 

That’s pretty big! It was an announcement of the power of Rome, personified by Rome’s divine emperor.

Newspaper Reading (1855). Reinhard Sebastian Zimmermann (German, 1815-1893). Oil on canvas.

A young woman reads a newspaper, perhaps to her father and dog, in a nicely appointed interior. The man holds what may be a snuff box. Both man and dog are very attentive to the news being read. Books sit on the desk to the rear.
