‪My favourite from the National Museum was this depiction of #Hercules and the #Hydra. Note that the Hydra is sporting heads of different animals! #Stockholm ‬
‪Some lovely copies of #Classical art from the #Vatican, here at the National Museum. ‬
‪A copy of the #Piraeus Lion. It was originally sculpted c. 360 BC and became a famous landmark in Piraeus, #Athens, having stood there since the 1st-2nd c. AD. #Viking mercenaries later carved runes into it before it was plundered by the #Venetians. #Stockholm ‬
‪Some gruesome remains from a mass grave, the Battle of #Gotland, 1361, where 1,800 Gotland farmers were massacred by an invading Danish force. On display at the Swedish History Museum, #Stockholm @DrJEBall ‬
‪It was lovely to see the #Vasa today! It was a #Swedish warship built between 1626-28. It foundered after sailing about 1,300 m into its maiden voyage on 10th August 1628. There are also #Classical and #Roman elements to it, which makes it even better! #Stockholm ‬ The #Swedish King, Gustavus Adolphus saw himself as #Augustus #Caesar and so each side of the beakhead originally had 20 figures that depicted #Roman emperors from Tiberius to Septimius Severus. Below, the #Greek #myths of Peleus pursuing Thetis and Aesacus chasing the nymph Hesperus are portrayed. Finally, the transom also shows Gustavus as a #Roman emperor; Roman soldiers, Hercules and Tritons and Nereids can be seen surrounding him.
‪Lovely to stroll around Gustav III's Museum of Antiquities today. #Stockholm ‬
