His carriage stands at the intense appropriate whilst the group progresses toward the lone fisherman Lü Shang, represented on the left screen.

Shanghai Moon – is 1 of these couple of restaurants whose interior decor alone is worth the trip. And if you go in the middle of the evening you can have the location to oneself. It really is open 24-hours a day. From the elevator, adhere to the thinning red carpet down the hall and into the ballroom-style dining space, where the carpet springs back to life in a swirl of red, blue and cream. Choose a single of the mismatched embroidered chairs and sit down to a quintessential Chinese table, a pink carnation in a glass vase and a red tablecloth. See the majestic and old-fashioned surroundings: the antiques, the chandeliers, the grand ceiling with distinctive molding and alcoves with velvet curtains. On the walls, there are photos of Shanghai circa 1840s-1950s displaying the every day landmarks of the era (the initial division store, the 1st cinema, the Huangpu full of canoe-sized boats) as effectively as landmark events like Prince Chun of the Qing Dynasty’s parade down Nanjing Xi Lu. The menu is full of your normal Shanghainese fare, with a bit of Cantonese influence

Gotta adore the way these AC units appear to have grown biologically on the surface. Like a mold feeding on a substrate of economic sources and low heat tolerance.

Armor for Henry II of France, ca. 1555
After styles by Etienne Delaune (1518/19-1583)
French (Paris)
Steel Ht. all round 74 inches (187.96 cm)

This instance of one of the most elaborate and complete French parade armors retains much of its original coloring. The surfaces are covered by dense foliate scrolls inhabited by human figures and a variety of fabulous creatures that derive from Italian grotesque. The decoration includes (at the center of the breast) a Roman warrior receiving tribute arms from two kneeling females and (on the shoulders) Apollo chasing the nymph Daphne (front) and Apollo with the slain monster Python (back). The crescent moon, a badge of Henry II (r. 1547-59), is identified in several locations.

The style of the decoration is attributed to the Parisian goldsmith and printmaker Étienne Delaune (1518/19-1583), who served Henry II as an engraver at the royal mint. Many preparatory styles for this armor, numerous apparently in Delaune’s hand, are in the Graphische Sammlung, Munich.
