I was at the Teatro Anatomico (Anatomical Theatre) today! There's so much to say about it but we'll just concentrate on the ceiling right now. It was built in 1645 by Antonio Levanti. We have Apollo, the protector of medicine, in the centre and he's surrounded by 14 other constellations. Back in the day consulting the heavens was a pretty normal part of medicine. You know, mercury is in retrograde so we should amputate that toe.
Astrology and medicine were intertwined and every part of the body was associated with an astrological sign. The ceiling was a representation of the medicine of the time and also how the human body and the heavens above were intrinsically linked.
Also, huge thank you to the Arabic world and the Middle East because without their knowledge, ancient science and wisdom - we would not have modern medicine! ✨
This photo was taken from on top of the slab/operating table in the middle of the room.

"Nermine, dođi" von//by Mensud Kečo 🕊️

Hier noch ein #Denkmal in #Sarajevo zur Erinnerung an das Massaker von #Srebrenica. Es zeigt einen Vater (Ramo), der seinem Sohn (Nermin) zuruft, dass er aus dem Wald kommen soll, weil ihm die Serben nichts tun würden. Man hat dann beide später in einem Massengrab gefunden. // A heart-breaking #memorial in Sarajevo for the Srebrenica massacre. It shows a father (Ramo) calling out to his son (Nermin) to surrender, telling him the Serbians "won't do anything". Their remains were later found in a mass grave.

A slightly low-angle shot captures the weathered grey stone sculpture by Mensud Kečo in a park in Sarajevo. The slender figure has its head tilted back and hands raised to its mouth, depicting Ramo Osmanović calling out to his son Nermin during the Srebrenica massacre, urging him to surrender based on false assurances of safety. This poignant gesture serves as a powerful memorial to their tragic fate and the many other victims. The sculpture stands amongst lush green grass dotted with small white flowers, with mature trees and a winding path visible in the background. The scene evokes a profound sense of loss, betrayal, and enduring remembrance within the peaceful park setting.

This Is My Glasgow

I've often said there's no statue of Mary Queen of Scots in Glasgow, which is true, but there is this sculpture of her on the gates of St Nicholas Gardens behind the Provand's Lordship on Castle Street. So, what makes it a sculpture rather than a statue? Officially, a sculpture is any three dimensional work of art, while a statue is an approximately life-sized and more or less realistic full figure representation of a person or animal.
