Kristian Zahrtmann (Danish, 1843-1917) David at the Palace of Saul, 1878 King Saul was the first king of the Israelites chosen by Jehovah. He was disobedient and rebellious, so Jehovah said he would be replaced. Jehovah already had a replacement in mind, David. But David had to wait to rule, which was when Saul was killed.

The Palace of Versailles

[useless-catalanfacts]

A room in Can Papiol house-museum in Vilanova i la Geltrú (Penedès, Catalonia).

Since the year 1790 and throughout the 19th century, this was the home of one of the wealthiest families in the small city of Vilanova i la Geltrú: the Papiol family, who owned many vineyards around the city. The house has preserved its 19th century interiors, and nowadays it's a house-museum that allows visitors to see what a 19th century upper class family home was like.

The house includes a library with about 6,000 books written between the 16th and the 19th centuries, as well as a music room, a billiard room, a ballroom where the family hosted music parties and literary meetings, a dining room, the bedrooms, a small private chapel, the servants' rooms, areas for servants to do domestic work and for farmers to do their work, stables, and a little Romantic garden.
