This captivating era witnessed the birth of John Lilburne, a prominent English political activist known for his fight for civil liberties. Meanwhile, Rembrandt van Rijn, a renowned Dutch artist, created his masterpiece "The Agony in the Garden, " an etching that beautifully captures human emotions. In France, Eglise Saint-Gervais stood as a testament to architectural brilliance. Its construction began in 1494 but was completed in 1657 under François Mansart's guidance. The chateau de Maisons also emerged during this period as a magnificent creation by Mansart himself. Across the Atlantic Ocean, North American AT-6D Harvard III took flight for the first time. This aircraft played a crucial role in training pilots during World War II and beyond. Science thrived too with William Harvey's groundbreaking discoveries on blood circulation and Thomas Scriven's invention of a pneumatic machine around this time. These inventions revolutionized medical understanding and technological advancements. Notably, horology enthusiasts would appreciate the intricate craftsmanship of a minute repeating full calendar keyless lever watch from around 1900. Encased in luxurious 18k gold, this timepiece boasted moon phases and exemplified elegance. History buffs will be intrigued by Admiral Robert Blake's death aboard ship near Plymouth due to old wounds sustained during naval battles—an event that marked an end to an illustrious military career. Art lovers can admire Luca Giordano's masterpiece "Our Lady of the Rosary. " Painted on canvas measuring an impressive 253x192 cm. , it showcases Giordano's mastery of oil painting techniques while depicting religious devotion.
