  • One of the paintings by Paul Rubens on the ceiling of Banqueting House, on 17th September 2017, in Whitehall, Westminster, London, England. The ceiling of the Banqueting House is a masterpiece and the only surviving in-situ ceiling painting by Flemish artist, Sir Peter Paul Rubens. It is also one of the most famous works from the golden age of painting. The canvases were painted by Rubens and installed in the hall in 1636. The three main canvasses depict The Union of the Crowns, The Apotheosis of James I and The Peaceful Reign of James I. Most likely commissioned by King Charles I in 1629-30, this ceiling was one of his last sights before he was executed on a scaffold outside on Whitehall in 1649.

  • Two female tourists walk beneath the perfect nude male example of Michelangelo's David statue in Piazza della Signoria. It is said that the statue's genitals were created smaller to imply that David was not allowing himself to make decisions with pleasure in mind. "David" is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture created between 1501 and 1504, by the Italian artist Michelangelo. It is a 5.17 metre (17 feet) marble statue of a standing male nude.

  • Girls visit a Renaissance art exhibition at London's British Museum. Above them and between pillars is a giant poster called Head of a Woman (1470s) by Andrea del Verrocchio born Andrea di Michele di Francesco de' Cioni, an Italian sculptor, goldsmith  and painter who worked at the court of Lorenzo de' Medici in Florence. His pupils included Leonardo da Vinci, Pietro Perugino and Lorenzo di Credi, but he also influenced Michelangelo. The British Museum's collection of Italian Renaissance drawings is so fragile that its masterpieces are exhibited only once in a generation. About half of the works came from Florence in partnership with the Uffizi and sponsored by BP (British Petroleum). The 100 or so works span the period 1400-1510 by artists including Jacopo and Gentile Bellini, Botticelli, Filippo Lippi, Mantegna, Michelangelo and Raphael.
