The Royal Order of the Seraphim was a Swedish order of chivalry created by Frederick I on February 23rd, 1748. This outfit, including the cape, dress, shoes, hat, and insignia, was worn by the then 2 year old Prince Gustav, the future Gustav III.
(Definitely go to the linked source below and look at the closeup shots, it's amazing!)

Var Gustav III verkligen så maktlysten som han ofta utmålas, och vad var egentligen motivet till hans statskupp? Ja, det vet väl bara han själv, men jag har information att dela med mig av, som nästan alltid blir förbisedd, och därför är okänd av många, och som ändrar bilden av det hela om man tar hänsyn till den.

Art ref: Klimt, Judith and the Head of Holofernes.
I'd been wanting to do a Ghost version of a Klimt remake for a while. If you've seen my latest wip, you know that a second Klimt is already on the way. I thought it would be better to post them separately. I hope I've managed to do something good, it's always a bit strange to draw Copia with a visible teeth smile.
Uncensored version under the cut.

Alexander the Great of Macedon and his forces encounter Darius III of Persia, betrayed and left to die by his own ally(s) in the year 330 B.C., marking the end to the Persian Achaemenid Empire.
“Here, Darius was assassinated by Bessus, the satrap of Bactria. He was discovered by Alexander in a dying condition by the roadside. He asked for a cup of water, thanked the giver, and died. And with him died the Empire of the Persians."
—Ridpath, 1885

Sua Grazia
Tumblr media
"Non piangete, fratelli, non siate malinconici, e neppure indecisi. La sua grazia sarà con voi tutti e vi proteggerà. Lodiamo piuttosto la sua grandezza, avendoci egli preparati e mandati agli uomini."
-------
A watercolor drawing with the touch of glittery pens and metallic details, this time Is another fanart of Paola "Chiara" and Papa Emeritus Terzo, in a much more romantic tone inspired by the evangelical iconographies and Klimt's romantic liberty/Noveau art.
The Mary Magdalene quote is also featured in the sun's main circle, this art is meant to represent the feeling of love and affection towards someone, like a bright sunshine giving you the motivation to start a new day, and the story of Mary Magdalene and Jesus Is a clear inspiration for these two (especially the song "Bloody Mary" by Lady Gaga).
Paola may be forever just a young girl hooked to the Clergy after becoming a Sister of Sin, just to achieve an immature love dream, but her feelings for the satanic pope are sincere.
And Terzo seems to feel them too, or is it just his to hide his insecure personality, full of self hate?
Who knows, their story Is quite complicated.

Herod’s palace rose up like some Alhambra on slender columns iridescent with Moresque tiles, which appeared to be bedded in silver mortar and gold cement; arabesques started from lozenges of lapis lazuli to wind their way right across the cupolas, whose mother-of-pearl marquetry gleamed with rainbow lights and flashed with prismatic fires. The murder had been done; now the executioner stood impassive, his hands resting on the pommel of his long, bloodstained sword. The Saint’s decapitated head had left the charger where it lay on the flagstones and risen into the air, the eyes staring out from the livid face, the colourless lips parted, the crimson neck dripping tears of blood. A mosaic encircled the face, and also a halo of light whose rays darted out under the porticoes, emphasized the awful elevation of the head, and kindled a fire in the glassy eyeballs, which were fixed in what happened to be agonized concentration on the dancer. With a gesture of horror, Salome tries to thrust away the terrifying vision which holds her nailed to the spot, balanced on the tips of her toes, her eyes dilated, her right hand clawing convulsively at her throat. [...] The dreadful head glows eerily, bleeding all the while, so that clots of dark red form at the ends of hair and beard. Visible to Salome alone, it embraces in its sinister gaze neither Herodias, musing over the ultimate satisfaction of her hatred, nor the Tetrarch, who, bending forward a little with his hands on his knees, is still panting with emotion, maddened by the sight and smell of the woman’s naked body, steeped in musky scents, anointed with aromatic balms, impregnated with incense and myrrh. Like the old King, Des Esseintes invariably felt overwhelmed, subjugated, stunned when he looked at this dancing-girl, who was less majestic, less haughty, but more seductive than the Salome of the oil-painting. In the unfeeling and unpitying statue, in the innocent and deadly idol, the lusts and fears of common humanity had been awakened; the great lotus-blossom had disappeared, the goddess vanished; a hideous nightmare now held in its choking grip an entertainer, intoxicated by the whirling movement of the dance, a courtesan, petrified and hypnotized by terror. Here she was a true harlot, obedient to her passionate and cruel female temperament; here she came to life, more refined yet more savage, more hateful yet more exquisite than before; here she roused the sleeping senses of the male more powerfully, subjugated his will more surely with her charms – the charms of a great venereal flower, grown in a bed of sacrilege, reared in a hot-house of impiety.
— Joris-Karl Huysmans, Against Nature, transl by Robert Baldick, (2003)

The silver baptismal font
The baptismal font was intended for the new royal chapel commissioned by King Karl XI for the Tre Kronor palace during the 1690s.
Attempts were made at that time to start trading with Indonesia, but all that resulted from this was a consignment of silver from the island of Sumatra. This silver was used as the material for the baptismal font, which stands 106 centimetres high and weighs over 70 kilograms, of which 50 kilograms is silver.
The baptismal font was first used in 1746 for the christening of Crown Prince Gustav (III) and is still used for royal christenings.
It was last used to christen Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel's son, Prince Oscar, on 27 May 2016.
