WELLHEAD, 800-825 CE. PALAZZO VENEZIA This splendid Romanesque wellhead is of white Luni (Carrara) marble, almost certainly from the ruins of the early C4 Baths of Constantine, but the marble, whose profile is all that remains from an ancient capital, was already reused from an earlier building, as Constantine pillaged abandoned structures to decorate his Baths on the Quirinal hill. This wellhead is carved with a series of arches and columns covered in braided guilloches enclosing crosses, also decorated with guilloches, with Romanesque versions of acanthus leaves flanking each cross and a six-petalled flower in the upper quadrants. Scrolls and peaked pediments rise from the tops of the arches to the lip of the well, with palmettes in the spaces between the arches. The long use of this wellhead can be seen in the grooves inside, worn by centuries of rope for the water-bucket. This decoration shows how Lombard sculpture reinterpreted Roman forms.

Centuries of #spolia. This #Romanesque wellhead was carved during the #Carolingian #Renaissance in #Rome, from a huge marble column capital probably from the lost Baths of #Constantine on the #Quirinal. It was in the now-vanished S. Agata in Diaconia, today in #palazzoVenezia. #AncientBluesky 🏺

Had lots of fun recreating a #carolingian dress inspired by the #stuttgarterpsalter Also nice to be able to recycle an old dress from a different periode. #reenactment #earlymedieval #medievalsky

Inserted Tarot Deck into the prompt in Midjourney. Then I cleaned up the lettering on the cards with Gemini in two swipes.

A backdrop of hills and forests beneath a hazy sky displays historical fiction novel Three Times the Lady - the story of Judith of Flanders. The cover features a woman, her face partially in shadow with a cream-coloured mantle over her head. A badge on the cover proclaims this as a five star read. The text reads: A Frankish princess, a Wessex queen, stepmother to Alfred the Great, a scandalous widow... Can she escape the destiny her father planned and find happiness? https://mybook.to/ThreeTimestheLady

In realms ruled by men, can a woman choose her own destiny?

Now back to business. For a few days, the lovely Codex Aureus was exhibited at the Batthyaneum Library in Gyulafehérvár/Alba Iulia. The first part of the Codex is in Transylvania, while the other half is in Vatican. #codexaureus #carolingian #manuscript #earlymedieval #transylvania

Despite being #Carolingian in style, the centerpiece of the cross is an Islamic glass seal inscribed with the phrase “We have repented to God” in Arabic. Possibly, a Muslim envoy gave it to a Christian counterpart, who set it into a brooch ( #Cork #Ireland late AD 700s)
