So about that ceiling

So to wrap up this series on art history in Season of Mists, here’s my last post (at least until I discover more). You know the ceiling in Ch. 6, the one we were all talking about? I’ve continued to do research because so many of those paintings look familiar. And I think I’ve found a few more references for it with all of your help!

For reference, here is again that ceiling:

And as I zoomed in, here are some similar works of art from across the eras that might have inspired some of the details:

Rider mounted on horse vs Napolean Crossing the Alps by Jacques-Louis David (1805)

Scenic landscape with trees vs Chalk Cliffs on Rügen by Caspar David Friedrich (1818)

Castle with trees vs The Ruins of Hohenbaden by Carl Philipp Fohr (1814/1815)

Knight Templar (or perhaps Teutonic Order? Both have crosses on their shields) vs Grail Knight from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) (man, I really hope this is an Easter Egg because I couldn’t really find anything in art history that would match up as well as his costume does)

Huge thanks to @beatnikfreakiswriting , @notallsandmen , @mathomhouse-e , @mollymagician and @quillingwords for their insights on the original post! It definitely helped me narrow down my search, and was such a fun discussion. If you or anyone else has any thoughts or corrections to the above, I definitely welcome them!

And if Kelley Jones is out there and wants to share his inspiration sources, point him my way! 😉

Two weeks are gone just like that. I'm absolutely going to miss Europe now that I'm home but getting to visit Germany, France, and Austria was a treat.

I did a lot of 'firsts' on this trip. Flying in a large airplane, seeing big cities up close and personal, taking the subway, viewing the mountains with my own two eyes, leaving the country for the first time, being in a place where the main language isn't English (although many people were bilingual), trying authentic schnitzel and black forest cake, and flying by myself just to name some. It's definitely been quite the whirlwind of an experience and I'd absolutely do it again in a heartbeat even with the jet lag.

I wouldn't be able to tell you what my favourite part was or my favourite place that me and my fam stayed at. The whole trip was quite the time. The people were super friendly, the places had their own unique charm, and even the food was to die for.

I'm sure I'll have more photos to post within the coming days considering I took about 1500 of them.

Cheers!

Today I'm in Baden Baden in the Black Forest region of Germany. I hiked to a medieval castle, among other things. More details in today's post...link in profile. #1844vs2017 #smfatravelingfellowship (at Schloss Hohenbaden)

After my visit to the Casino, I decided to hike up to the Altes Schloss (Old Castle), which is actually the ruins of the Hohenbaden Castle, built and occupied by the Margraves of Baden in 1102. They called it home until the 1400s. Roundtrip, the walk was about 6 miles, and worth every step. The Altes Schloss is massive -- which is why I was able to see it from where my hike began in Baden Baden, nearly 3 miles away. The ruins continue to be preserved by the local government, and I felt so joyful exploring allover the castle and seeing the view from the very top. The only downside was that despite being a beautiful day, the wind harp that's installed in the ruins wasn't playing any tunes. #havelovewilltravel #ruins #castle #deutschland #germany #badenbaden #altesschloss #travelphotography #blackforest #rhinevalley (at Altes Schloß)

Beautiful Baden-Baden. I really loved this town, the surrounding area was gorgeous and to get a panoramic view from Castle Hohenbaden was a treat.
