Historical events

Keep exploring, keep reading about what has happened and what might bring you to different insights. Reading about historical subjects and events may or may not interest you, the fact remains that they happened and should not be forgotten.

History is fascinating, especially because it has shaped the world we live in. Most subjects can be found in books or on the internet if you are interested. There are also photos, drawings or paintings of most subjects. I have made a drawing or painting of some subjects, possibly from photographs that I have come across. I don't assume that I am unique in making these images, but I do find it a challenge to make something beautiful out of them or to draw attention to the subject. Sometimes I also try to visualize a situation according to my own interpretation.
