Truly magnificent work of art!! The Qing dynasty, also called the Empire of the Great Qing, or the Manchu dynasty, was the last imperial dynasty of. Ruling from 1644 to 1912 with a brief, abortive restoration in 1917. It was preceded by the Ming dynasty and succeeded by the Republic of China. The Qing multi-cultural empire lasted almost three centuries and formed the territorial base for the modern Chinese state. The dynasty was founded by the Jurchen Aisin Gioro clan in. In the late sixteenth century, Nurhaci, originally a Ming vassal, began organizing “Banners”, military-social units that included Jurchen, Han Chinese, and Mongol elements. Nurhaci formed the Jurchen clans into a unified entity, which became known as Manchus. By 1636, his son Hong Taiji began driving Ming forces out of Liaodong and declared a new dynasty, the Qing. In 1644, peasant rebels led by Li Zicheng conquered the Ming capital. Rather than serve them, Ming general Wu Sangui made an alliance with the Manchus and opened the. To the Banner Armies led by Prince Dorgon, who defeated the rebels and seized. Proper was not completed until 1683 under the Kangxi Emperor r. The Ten Great Campaigns of the Qianlong Emperor from the 1750′s to the 1790′s extended Qing control into. While the early rulers maintained their Manchu ways, and while their official title was Emperor they were known as khans to the Mongols, they governed using Confucian styles and institutions of bureaucratic government. They retained the imperial examinations to recruit Han Chinese to work under or in parallel with Manchus. They also adapted the ideals of the tributary system in dealing with neighboring territories. The reign of the Qianlong Emperor (17351796) saw the dynasty’s apogee and initial decline in prosperity and imperial control. Corruption set in, rebels tested government legitimacy, and ruling elites did not change their mindsets in the face of changes in the world system. Following the Opium War, European powers imposed unequal treaties, free trade, extraterritoriality and treaty ports under foreign control. The Taiping Rebellion (185064) and the Dungan Revolt (186277) in. Led to the deaths of some 20 million people, most of them due to famines caused by war. In spite of these disasters, in the Tongzhi Restoration of the 1860′s, Han Chinese elites rallied to the defense of the Confucian order and the Qing rulers. The initial gains in the Self-Strengthening Movement were destroyed in the First Sino-Japanese War of 1895, in which the Qing lost its influence over. And the possession of. New Armies were organized, but the ambitious Hundred Days’ Reform of 1898 was turned back by Empress Dowager Cixi, a ruthless but capable leader. When the Scramble for Concessions by foreign powers triggered the violently anti-foreign Yihetuan (“Boxers”), the foreign powers invaded. The Empress Dowager declared war on them, leading to defeat and the flight of the. After agreeing to sign the Boxer Protocol the government then initiated unprecedented fiscal and administrative reforms, including elections, a new legal code, and abolition of the examination system. Sun Yat-sen and other revolutionaries competed with reformers such as Liang Qichao and monarchists such as Kang Youwei to transform the Qing empire into a modern nation. After the death of Empress Dowager Cixi and the Guangxu Emperor in 1908, the hardline Manchu court alienated reformers and local elites alike. Local uprisings starting on October 11, 1911 led to the Xinhai Revolution. Puyi, the last emperor, abdicated on February 12, 1912.

(total: 1000g or 32.15oz). 6x 27.70 mm. 2x 34.50 mm. 1x 54.80 mm. Andrei Rublev (born in the 1360s, died 1427 or January 29, 1430) is considered to be the greatest medieval Russian painter of Orthodox icons and frescoes. There is little information about his life. It is not known where he was born. Andrei Rublev probably lived in the Trinity-St. Sergius Lavra near Moscow under Nikon of Radonezh, who became hegumen after the death of Sergii Radonezhsky (1392). The first mentioning of his name refers to 1405; the document says that for the decoration of the Annunciation Cathedral in Moscow Kremlin. T here were invited the famous Theophanes the Greek, master Prokhor and monk Andrei Rublev. This means that the painter had already changed the unknown to us name given on birth to the name of Andrei. His name was the last of the list of masters as the junior both by rank and by age. Theophanes was an important Byzantine master who moved to Russia, and is considered to have trained Rublev. Historians suppose that Rublev took his vows in the Troitsky (Trinity) monastery under abbot Nikon, pupil and successor of Sergei Radonezhsky. The decorations of the Annunciation Cathedral did not survive the turbulent time, but the Iconostasis still keeps 7 icons. They are evidence of his high skills and the following of the Byzantine tradition. It is difficult to tell with confidence what Rublev’s brushes of icons and frescos belong. Quite probably that he has created “Transformation”. There is the second document, dated 1408, that Andrei Rublev and icon painter Danil (Daniil Tcherny) on May 25 started to decorate the Dormtion Cathedral in Vladimir. Those worksare the only preserved murals by Andrei Rublev, which show his deviation from the Byzantine school. Dormition Cathedral of Vladimir. Dormition Cathedral in Vladimir (sometimes translated Assumption Cathedral) used to be a mother church of medieval Russia in the 13th and 14th centuries. It is part of the World Heritage Site entitled White Monuments of Vladimir and Suzdal. The cathedral was commissioned by Andrew the Pious in his capital Vladimir and dedicated to the Dormition of the Theotokos (Virgin Mary), whom he promoted as the patron saint of his lands. Originally erected in 11581160, the 6-pillared 5-domed cathedral was expanded in 11851189 to reflect the augmented prestige of Vladimir. Embracing the area of 1178 sq. Meters, it remained the largest of Russian churches for the following 300 or 400 years. Andrew the Pious, Vsevolod the Big Nest, and other rulers of Vladimir-Suzdal were interred in the crypt of this church. Unlike many other churches, the cathedral survived the great devastation and fire of Vladimir in 1239, when the Mongol hordes of Batu Khan took hold of the capital. The exterior walls of the church are covered with elaborate carvings. The interior was painted in the 12th century and then repainted by the great Andrei Rublev and Daniil Chernyi in 1408. The Dormition Cathedral served as a model for Aristotele Fioravanti when he designed the eponymous cathedral in the Moscow Kremlin in 14751479. A lofty belltower, combining genuinely Russian, Gothic, and Neoclassical influences, was erected nearby in 1810. The earliest surviving works of Andrei Rublev are now considered icons deesis belt, the so-called Zvenigorod (1400). Preserved icon of the Savior, St. Michael the Archangel and St. Paul, which were discovered in 1918. Written evidence about the authorship of these icons are missing, but the images, analogies can be seen in the frescoes 1408. The Dormition Cathedral in Vladimir, all date back to the most significant works of Andrei Rublev. In the central icon of the Deesis Christ in Majesty depicted Christ with an open text of the Gospel, who sits on the throne. Saints praying before the Savior presented at the other icons, filled with selfless faith in a fair trial. For each character found surprisingly accurate soulful performance does not violate at the same tonal unity of the whole ensemble. The ability to combine emotional sounding single large multi-figure group composes one of the features of the composite gift of Andrei Rublev. The image of Our Lady emphasized the monumental nature of the capacious smooth flowing silhouette, accentuated disturbed gesture of outstretched hands in prayer. The whole image is imbued with a gentle, sad plea, intercession for the human race. The real adornment of color deesis series are inserting in certain places and with certain calculations are different in size and configuration of the red cinnabar. This geometric shapes framing the Savior on the throne in the center, ample cloaks archangels and narrow expressive blotches on the icon of St. Gregory the Theologian and John Chrysostom. The presence of Deesis composition of the congregation of the saints of the two figures of the archangels, Michael and Gabriel, goes back to a long tradition of the image on the sides of the central image of Jesus Christ (the Savior) who worship him heavenly powers. Extremely low mintage – limited to only 500 sets. Comes with a solid, luxurious presentation box made of wood and housed in a carton shipper. Comes with an elaborate booklet containing background information on the icons, the painter and the Dormition Cathedral – the booklet also serves as a Certificate of Authenticity.

Niue 2011 The Villa of the Mysteries of Pompeii 335g (11.41oz) 9 Silver Coin Set. 355g (11.415oz) total. 41 x 336 mm total. The coin set “Villa of Mysteries in Pompeii” is simply beautiful, over 11 ounces of pure silver (355 g). It consists of 9, according to the villa’s frescoes, edgeless color printed bars, of 3 different sizes, which all put together form one coin unit. The largest commemorative coins of the world! In the first century the Roman Empire contains many cities, but none in a more beautiful setting than the cities and towns lining the Bay of Naples. On the 24th of August, 79 A. Volcanic ash spews from Mt. Pompeii and nearby Herculaneum disappear from the face of the earth. Gradually grass and vines cover the land where the towns stood. The local people eventually forget even the name of the buried towns. Herculaneum was rediscovered in 1738 and Pompeii in 1748. By the mid-eighteenth century, when scholars made the journey to Naples and reported on the findings, the imagination of Europe was ignited. Suddenly, the classical world was in vogue. Philosophy, art, architecture, literature, and even fashion drew upon the discoveries of Pompeii and Herculaneum for inspiration; the Neoclassical movement was under way. This villa, built around a central peristyle court and surrounded by terraces, is much like other large villas of Pompeii. However, it contains one very unusual feature; a room decorated with beautiful and strange scenes. This room, known to us as “The Initiation Chamber, ” measures 15 by 25 feet and is located in the front right portion of the villa. The Villa is named for the paintings in one room of the residence. This space may have been a triclinium, and is decorated with very fine frescoes. Although the actual subject of the frescoes is hotly debated, the most common interpretation of the images is scenes of the initiation of a woman into a special cult of Dionysus, a mystery cult that required specific rites and rituals to become a member. Very low mintage – limited to only 250 coin sets. Comes with capsule, certificate of authenticity and a special presentation case. We strive for excellent service.

Martian Meteorite A Martian meteorite is a rock that formed on the planet Mars and was then ejected from Mars by the impact of an asteroid or comet, and finally landed on the Earth. Of over 61,000 meteorites that have been found on Earth, 132 were identified as Martian as of 3 March 2014. These meteorites are thought to be from Mars because they have elemental and isotopic compositions that are similar to rocks and atmosphere gases analyzed by spacecraft on Mars. On October 17, 2013, NASA reported, based on analysis of argon in the Martian atmosphere by the Mars Curiosity rover, that certain meteorites found on Earth thought to be from Mars were indeed from Mars. The term does not refer to meteorites found on Mars, such as Heat Shield Rock. On January 3, 2013, NASA reported that a meteorite, named NWA 7034 (nicknamed “Black Beauty”), found in 2011 in the Sahara desert, was determined to be from Mars and found to contain ten times the water of other Mars meteorites found on Earth. The meteorite was determined to have formed 2.1 billion years ago during the Amazonian geologic period on Mars.

What makes this coin unique is a real meteorite called NWA 8409, fallen on Earth in Northwest Africa, inlaid on the coin. On top of the coin the inscription “Solar System Mercury” and on the obverse side the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Mercury Mercury is the smallest planet in the Solar System and the one closest to the Sun, with an orbital period of about 88 Earth days, which is much faster than any other planet in the Solar System. Seen from Earth, it appears to move around its orbit in about 116 days. It has no known natural satellites. It is named after the Roman deity Mercury, the messenger to the gods. Partly because it has almost no atmosphere to retain heat, Mercury’s surface temperature varies diurnally more than any other planet in the Solar System, ranging from 100 K (-173 °C; -280 °F) at night to 700 K (427 °C; 800 °F) during the day in some equatorial regions. The poles are constantly below 180 K (-93 °C; -136 °F). Mercury’s axis has the smallest tilt of any of the Solar System’s planets (about 1/30 of a degree). However it has the largest orbital eccentricity: at aphelion, Mercury is about 1.5 times as far from the Sun as it is at perihelion. Mercury’s surface is heavily cratered and similar in appearance to the Moon, indicating that it has been geologically inactive for billions of years. Mercury is gravitationally locked and rotates in a way that is unique in the Solar System. As seen relative to the fixed stars, it rotates on its axis exactly three times for every two revolutions it makes around the Sun. As seen from the Sun, in a frame of reference that rotates with the orbital motion, it appears to rotate only once every two Mercurian years. An observer on Mercury would therefore see only one day every two years. The item “SOLAR SYSTEM MERCURY NWA 8409 Meteorite Silver Coin 1$ Niue 2016″ is in sale since Thursday, September 08, 2016.
