From the stoning of St. Stephen in ancient times to the intricate study of nature's beauty along a rocky river bank, this century encapsulates an array of remarkable creations. Annibale Carracci's painting depicting the martyrdom of St. Stephen transports us back to 36 AD when his unwavering faith led to a tragic end.

This study reminds us of our connection to nature and its timeless allure. San Girolamo's marble sculpture from around 1580 portrays deep contemplation as he gazes into eternity. The intricately carved details reveal both strength and vulnerability within this revered saint. Bronze comes alive in Saint John the Evangelist created between 1583-84; his dynamic pose exudes spiritual fervor while capturing his role as one of Jesus' closest disciples. Wilkie Collins' novel "Moonstone" takes us on an enthralling journey through mystery and intrigue. Its pages hold secrets waiting to be unraveled by curious readers seeking thrilling escapades within its gripping narrative. The Battle of Ain engraving from 1785 depicts Joshua leading his army towards victory while destroying cities along their path—a testament to human determination amidst conflict throughout history.
