The Silver Swan is a clockwork driven automaton. It was designed by John Joseph Merlin, a Belgian clockmaker in the 18th century. It is currently housed in the Bowes Museum in Barnard Castle, England and is still in working order.
The Silver Swan is known for its graceful and lifelike movements. The swan moves its neck, bends down to the water and appears to eat fish from a glass stream.
This year is the 250th anniversary of the Silver Swan's first exhibition at James Cox’s Museum of Mechanical Marvels in London in 1773.

“Let no one think ever to see any work of the brush more horrifying, or more realistic, than this. And whoever enters that room cannot but fear that everything will fall upon him.” -Giorgio Vasari
The Fall of the Giants is a masterpiece by the Italian Renaissance artist Giulio Romano, a pupil of Raphael.
His ineffable artistic abilities are showcased in the Palazzo del Te, in Mantua, renowned for its captivating illusionistic frescoes. Within the palazzo, in the Sala dei Giganti, Romano depicted the Gigantomachy, an episode from Greek mythology.
Executed between 1532 and 1534, this fresco draws inspiration from Ovid's Metamorphoses, a Latin narrative poem from around 8 C.E. The scene portrays Jupiter's victory over the Giants, unleashing his lightning.
The Gigantomachy theme was popular in the Cinquecento fine arts, appreciated for its aesthetic possibilities and the myth's significance in conveying religious, moral, and political ideas for patrons of the time.
