Stereocard of the Great Hall in the Vatican Library

William Herman Rau (1855-1920), “Corridoio della Biblioteca Vaticana, Roma”. Stereofotografia. Numero di catalogo: 1999.
The other day I was clicking through Wikipedia and I came across this interesting stereogram. Check out these other stereocards.
Holy See an Armillary Sphere?

Looks like there is an Armillary Sphere in the background. I find this interesting simply because an Armillary Sphere most likely has a pagan Zodiac on it. Two months ago I made those Astro-theological overlays (which included the Vatican) and today I stumbled on to a slightly hidden one on the Holy See’s News Services webpage.

Instead of just wrapping the Astrological Calendar from 1544 around the earth, today I decided to place the calendar alongside the 3 holy locations of Catholicism, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. This geographic juxtaposition of pagan symbolism with established religion makes this series of overlays one of the more interesting cartographic creations I’ve ever made.

Vatican @ 3200X2400

The Vatican in its full glory…
I really like the way I was able to capture the reflection of the sphere just above the square [don’t know the name of the square..yet]. I think I might rerender this graphic and have the Vatican a little more centered and have the reflection centered in the square. There is something eerie about the way the it looks. I like it.
