"As ye deal with my condemners, so with you My grace shall deal!
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel...
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat;
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him; be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on."

Trump's announcement of the USSF has me feeling proud extremely of western civilization right now. Everything that has come before has lead us to this moment.

No sooner than their love was bound
And their vows were solemnly spoken
The young bride struck by a serpent
And Orpheus' heart was broken
Burdened by grief, he appealed with song
To the Gods who rule the dark and silent world
He struck his lyre and they were charmed to stillness
As the passion in his strings unfurled
Ixion's wheel was motionless
As the underworld was met with tears.
"The debt of life was paid too soon,
Let me have her the rest of my years"
"You may have her but you must not look upon her until you've passed through this realm"
They journeyed back through the worlds
At first light Orpheus rejoiced
He turned back to catch his love
In the moment she was destroyed
For the rest of his life in the absence of light
Every shadow held a phantom
His songs were played with mournful wishes
And a hope the fates might grant them

The Dressmaker, originally painted in 1898, has been recreated with exceptional use of color, detail and brush strokes. This oil painting has a wonderful portrayal of love and innocence that is sure to capture the hearts of all who see it.
William-Adolphe Bouguereau was a French traditionalist whose realistic and mythological paintings were based on Classical subjects, mainly focused on the female form. Bouguereau created idealized worlds with his almost photo-realistic style and was very popular with rich art patrons.

Albert Bierstadt's beautifully crafted paintings played to a hot market in the 1860s for spectacular views of the nation's frontiers.

As a fellow user described it: "He may not be considered "classical" in the classical sense, but I think my favorite artist might be Norman Rockwell. His work reminds me of a better, Whiter America." -user 17/06/2018 Feels.jpg
Painting finished in 1943
The painting symbolises The Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Worship, Freedom from Want, and Freedom from Fear.

he Trevi Fountain (Italian: Fontana di Trevi) is a fountain in the Trevi district in Rome, Italy, designed by Italian architect Nicola Salvi and completed by Giuseppe Pannini. Standing 26.3 metres (86 ft) high and 49.15 metres (161.3 ft) wide, it is the largest Baroque fountain in the city and one of the most famous fountains in the world. The fountain has appeared in several notable films, including Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita, the eponymous Three Coins in the Fountain, and Roman Holiday
HISTORY BEFORE 1629
The fountain at the junction of three roads (tre vie) marks the terminal point of the "modern" Acqua Vergine, the revived Aqua Virgo, one of the aqueducts that supplied water to ancient Rome. In 19 BC, supposedly with the help of a virgin, Roman technicians located a source of pure water some 13 km (8.1 mi) from the city. (This scene is presented on the present fountain's façade.) However, the eventual indirect route of the aqueduct made its length some 22 km (14 mi). This Aqua Virgo led the water into the Baths of Agrippa. It served Rome for more than 400 years.
COMMISSION, CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN
In 1629 Pope Urban VIII, finding the earlier fountain insufficiently dramatic, asked Gian Lorenzo Bernini to sketch possible renovations, but the project was abandoned when the pope died. Though Bernini's project was never constructed, there are many Bernini touches in the fountain as it exists today. An early, influential model by Pietro da Cortona, preserved in the Albertina, Vienna, also exists, as do various early 18th century sketches, most unsigned, as well as a project attributed to Nicola Michetti one attributed to Ferdinando Fuga and a French design by Edmé Bouchardon.

Lucian Freud had a very peculiar perspective. It's like when you pay attention to somebody and see all the imperfections and they make the person look odd.
