The 17th century was a time of great artistic and historical significance, as depicted in various artworks and photographs. "The Temptation of Saint Anthony" showcases the mastery of oil on canvas, capturing the struggle between temptation and faith. In contrast, the portrait of Gabriel Hanotaux provides a glimpse into the late 19th-century photography techniques that immortalized this French historian and politician. Dyrham Park's west front, captured in black-and-white photography from "Country Houses of the Cotswolds, " transports us to an era where grandeur met natural beauty. Similarly, Mells Manor's photograph from "The English Manor House" takes us back to 1917 when this architectural gem stood tall amidst changing times. Harlaxton Manor's front entrance through the forecourt screen is another captivating image from "100 Favourite Houses. " It invites us to explore its history and marvel at its intricate design. The South loggia on Troco Terrace at Bramshill, featured in "The English Country House, " offers a serene view that evokes tranquility. Moving beyond visual arts, we delve into Seville's Merced Calzada Library with friar Hernando De Santiago's stunning oil-on-canvas paintings dating back to 1633. These masterpieces reflect both religious devotion and artistic excellence. "The Drawbridge" transports us further into history with its depiction of life during the late 17th century - a time when castles guarded their inhabitants against external threats while fostering internal unity. In contrast to these scenes of fortification, "Country Kermis" presents a lively panel painting showcasing rural festivities filled with joyous celebrations - providing insight into everyday life during this period. De Waag (Weighing House) and Crane on Spaarne take us on an enchanting journey through Haarlem in Holland during the years spanning 1660-1698. This oil-on-panel artwork captures the bustling activity of a vibrant city.
