Two pictures stitched together from a German rally at the Reich Harvest Thanksgiving Festival to showcase how grand it really was.
Approximately 1.3 million people attended.
This is a 300-year-old book wheel kept in the Biblioteca Palafoxiana, Puebla, Mexico: it allowed 18th century researchers to have up to seven books open at once.
A kind of analog of today's multi-tab browsers.
"Charles Martel at the Battle of Tours, 732 A.D."
Oil on canvas
This moment defined the history of Western Civilization. In 732 A.D. the armies of Islam's Umayyad dynasty controlled all of North Africa and had conquered Christian Spain. Their armies invaded southern France next, threatening to overwhelm all of Western Europe. Charles Martel was the Mayor of the Palace for the Frankish kings. He was a seasoned warrior and battlefield commander. In response to the Islamic invasion, he marshalled an army of experienced Frankish infantry & cavalry and intercepted the Muslim forces near Poitiers. The Battle of Tours (Poitiers) was decisive. The Franks withstood repeated Umayyad cavalry charges and then broke through in their own counterattack devastating the enemy and halting the Islamic incursion into Europe. Christendom was saved. Not since 480 B.C. had Western Civilization been in such peril. This painting captures that great victory. It took 10 months to complete.
I am a historical artist in the United States. I capture significant moments from history in carefully researched oil paintings for collectors and institutions around the world. This painting of Charles Martel is the first in a series of paintings depicting the Roman Empire, the rise of Christian Europe and the Defense of Western Civilization. I am currently researching subjects for future paintings that will include Constantine the Great at the Battle of Milvian Bridge, The Charge of the Polish Hussars at Vienna and Richard I at the Battle of Arsuf, among many others. My collectors and patrons are the ones who make these paintings possible and for them I am very grateful. This painting of Charles Martel is no longer available, but if you are interested in supporting this work by commissioning a painting, please get in touch.

Imagine White countries where children are taught about their own people, their own history, artists, music, scientists etc
How many English children have heard of Lady Hillingdon, or Frank Dicksee?
Our education system is diabolically antiWhite, & used to White guilt our kids.
"What is holy? It is what binds many souls together, even if it only bound lightly, as the rush binds the wreath. What is the holiest? That which, today and forever, felt more and more deeply, makes spirits more and more united."
~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
