@AtelierMissor_ Well, one of them thought he was the sun itself.

Great men of history have always been obsessed with the Sun.

@LeuSemEscandalo @archi_tradition You bet, taking also palaces and mansions from the early 20th century into consideration we're talking about hundreds of buildings.

@WesternOpus @archi_tradition Many such "little castles" where demolished in São Paulo, this one happened to survive due to it's history.

@Parisianaes1 Roquefort cheese will always have a soft spot on my heart. (And taste buds, too).

Today is National Cheese Day! It's often said that there are 365 cheeses in France, one for each day of the year 46 of these have a PDO, an official European label that guarantees their origin, characteristics, and production methods What's your favorite?

@allontanarsio Not no be a prick or anything but it's just not fair that Orientalism is not on the list. x.com/WesternOpus/st…

What's your favorite Art Movement out of them all?

The "duckfoot" pistol, an 18th-century multi-barreled firearm designed to fire all barrels simultaneously, scattering shots to engage multiple targets at close range. They were very popular amongst ship captains, bank guards and prison wardens to suppress riots or mutinies.

@pantomathwar The bunker where I isolate myself from the pile of filth we call 'society' is built upon culture.

Is culture a luxury, or a form of survival?

Is there any chance these stairs could lead to a bad place? Catedral Basílica Metropolitana de Santa María @ Burgos, #Spain.

@AveMariaShopCA @IMPERATORAUS Of course! Almeida Júnior, Eliseu Visconti, Pedro Américo, Victor Meirelles... Brazil has its fair share of great painters. Cheers!

@WesternOpus @IMPERATORAUS Are you familiar with The First Mass in Brazil by Victor Meirelles? I recently discovered it, and the story behind it is truly beautiful.

Name a bigger downgrade.

European roots run deep @ Buenos Aires, #Argentina.
