1309 was a year filled with historical landmarks and artistic masterpieces. In Palma, Mallorca, the Cathedral Sa Seu and Almudaina Royal Palace stood tall as symbols of grandeur and architectural brilliance. Meanwhile, in Milton Abbey, Dorset, England, King Athelstan's 10th-century creation continued to inspire awe with its rich history. Art enthusiasts marveled at Duccio di Buoninsegna's masterpiece "Three Marys, " depicting the poignant scene of the three Marys at Christ's tomb. Painted between 1308-1311, this oil on wood artwork captured the emotions of that sacred moment. In Lincolnshire's St. Botolphs church, commonly known as Boston Stump, visitors were captivated by its towering presence and intricate design. This iconic landmark has become synonymous with the town itself. The year it also witnessed significant political events such as Otto Margrave Brandenbg's rise to power. His influence shaped the course of history during that time. Meanwhile, Vitale da Bologna (ca. 1309-1360) left his mark through his artistry; one notable piece being "The Pregnant. " This work showcased his talent for capturing human emotion and vulnerability. Moving forward in time but still appreciating historical architecture: Bohmer Franz (1907-1943) designed Poznan Castle in Poland from 1939-1943 while also creating an official apartment for Reich Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop in Berlin-Mitte. On a lighter note amidst all these historical references is Kookie Man - perhaps a character or figure who brought joy or humor during those times. Lastly, we delve into Venice where Doges Palace took center stage both inside and out. The ornamental bronze well-head within its central courtyard added elegance to this magnificent structure while its facade exuded grandeur befitting a palace.
