17th Century Tank Tops

This elegant Japanese landscape print is inspired by Ukiyo-e woodblock prints from the Edo period (17th-19th century). The artwork features a popular culture theme with an everyday life scene, showcasing a sushi restaurant in a peaceful landscape. The composition displays a panoramic view of the restaurant, surrounded by natural elements such as trees, mountains, and a river. The color palette includes warm tones of orange and yellow, contrasting with cool shades of blue and green. The mood is tranquil, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the scene.

This image shows the view looking up into the dome at the junction between the transept and choir inside the cathedral in Salzburg, Austria. I really enjoy capturing images of places of worship. I suppose it's the depth of faith that pushed people to create such magnificent places; I just really appreciate that dedication. The present cathedral was built in the 17th century, but had been preceded by earlier structures built in the 8th century (destroyed by fire) and then rebuilt in stages into the 12th century. "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again". In this image, I love the richness, the boldness of the baroque style.

Warwick Castle is a medieval castle in Warwick, the county town of Warwickshire, England. It sits on a bend on the River Avon. The castle was built by William the Conqueror in 1068 within or adjacent to the Anglo-Saxon burh of Warwick. It was used as a fortification until the early 17th century, when Sir Fulke Greville converted it to a country house. It was owned by the Greville family, who became earls of Warwick in 1759, until 1978

Duel was the way of settling arguments when honor and reputation where oftentimes more important than life. Alas, such is not the way anymore but that won't stop you from wearing this as you reminisce about the old days and keep would be challengers in check. Perfect gift for historical re-enactors, history buffs, gun lovers, and supporters of the 2nd Amendment.

At least two shades of red, but still: definitely red. Dressed for the beginning of the 18th century, when hair was big but white powder hadn't quite taken hold, these original character designs have an inspiring presence! (Fans of "The Favourite" or "Harlots" will recognize the era's silhouette, but these character and fashion designs are original, based on period sketches.)

Amsterdam is the Netherlands’ capital, known for its artistic heritage, elaborate canal system and narrow houses with gabled facades, legacies of the city’s 17th-century Golden Age. Its Museum District houses the Van Gogh Museum, works by Rembrandt and Vermeer at the Rijksmuseum, and modern art at the Stedelijk. Cycling is key to the city’s character, and there are numerous bike paths.
