Christianity Etc › Inside The Church Made Up Of Human Bones In Czech Republic ( Photo ) by ruggedtimi(op): 10:19am On Aug 13, 2017
It's a real-life chapel that looks like the set of the Pirates of the Caribbean.

The spine-tingling Sedlec Ossuary in the Czech Republic is estimated to hold the remains of between 40,000 and 70,000 people, many of whom died in the plague in 1318 and during the Hussite Wars in the 15th century.

Known as the 'Skull Church,' the macabre building contains bodies that have been dismembered, de-fleshed and reassembled into decorative features including a bone chandelier and chalices and even a family crest constructed from human remains.
Situated under the Cemetery Church of All Saints it features skull bunting artfully draped between beams, two large chalices, four baroque candelabras, six pyramids and candleholders - all made with bone.

The centrepiece chandelier comprises of almost every bone in a human body, including seven arms formed from vertebrae, with candle-mounted skulls.

The unusual design is said to represent a seven-headed beast, reminiscent of prophecies from the Book of Revelation in the Bible.

Unsurprisingly, the 'Skull Church' has a history as chilling as its unconventional decoration.

The skeletons are said to have originally been buried at the church cemetery, which was shut at the end of the 15th century.

Following this, the dug-up bones were moved to the chapel and positioned in pyramids.

In 1870, local wood carver František Rint of Česká Skalice was tasked with the job of artfully arranging the bones and skulls into creative decorations.

In order to create a uniform look for his chilling building blocks, each skull was carefully bleached until it reached the desired colour

The ossuary contains the remains of about 40 000 people and the current arrangement of bones dates from 1870

Not for the faint-hearted, the ossuary features two large chalices, four baroque candelabras, six pyramids and candleholders - all made with bone

Art, Graphics & Video › The Ten Most Expensive Paintings In History ( Image ) by ruggedtimi(op): 12:30pm On Aug 07, 2017
10. $145.0m Three studies of Lucian Freud by Francis Bacon
https://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02732/bacon-auction-3_2732553b.jpg
Holds the current auction record after selling at Christie's New York in 2013. It easily surpassed its estimate of $85m as frantic bidding between seven potential buyers pushed up the price for the six-foot triptych, which was painted in 1969, and shows Bacon's friend Lucian Freud, the British painter.

9.$152.0m Portrait of Dr Gachet by Vincent van Gogh
https://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/03299/Portrait_of_Dr_Gac_3299152c.jpg
Van Gogh’s portrait of the medic who cared for him in the final months of his life broke records when it was sold in 1990. The portrait was bought by a Tokyo art dealer on behalf of Japanese industrialist Ryoei Saito. However, when Saito died in debt, the painting disappeared into the international art market and its whereabouts remain unknown.

8.158.4m Portrait of Adele Block-Bauer I by Gustav Klimt
https://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02471/klimt_2471578b.jpg
Ronald Lauder, the cosmetics magnate, bought the gold-flecked portrait in 2006 for the Neue Galerie. At the time, it was a record paid for a painting. Its extraordinary story – seized by the Nazis during the Second World War and reclaimed by the rightful owner's niece only when she was in her eighties - is told in a recent film, Woman in Gold, starring Helen Mirren.

7.$158.5m Le Réve by Pablo Picasso
https://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/03299/Le_Reve_by_Pablo_P_3299151c.jpg
Another picture snapped up in 2013 by Steven Cohen, founder of SAC Capital and one of Wall Street's biggest art collectors. The deal had originally been agreed in 2006, but its owner Steve Wynn, the casino magnate, accidentally put his elbow through the canvas because of his failing eyesight. The deal went through after it had been repaired.
6. $162.4m Woman III by Willem de Kooning

https://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02471/dekooning_2471584b.jpg
Another painting sold by David Geffen in 2006, it was bought by Steven Cohen, a hedge fund billionaire. It was the third in a series of six paintings by de Kooning, an abstract expressionist, done between 1951 and 1953. It was part of the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art collection, which meant it disappeared from view after strict rules on images of women introduced after the 1979 revolution
5.$165.4m No 5, 1948 by Jackson Pollock
https://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/03299/No_5_by_Jackson_Po_3299149c.jpg
A sale shrouded in secrecy and brokered by Sotheby's in 2006. David Martinez reportedly bough the 8-foot by 4-foot piece of fibreboard, covered in drips of brown and yellow paint from David Geffen, the Dreamworks co-founder and entertainment magnate. Mr Martinez's law firm later issued a statement saying he did not own it.
4.$179.3m Les Femmes d’Alger (Version O) by Pablo Picasso
https://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/03298/_Les-femmes-d_Alge_3298862b.jpg
Picasso created a series of 15 variations of Les femmes d’Alger inspired by the French master Eugene Delacroix who in 1834 had painted The Women of Algiers in their Apartment. Version O marks the culmination of the series and has long been considered the most important Picasso in private hands.
3.$186m No. 6 (Violet, Green and Red) by Mark Rothko
https://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/03299/rothko_3299148a.jpg

Dmitry Rybolovlev, a Russian billionaire, paid $186 million, setting a record for a work by the American painter. However, it is now subject to a legal dispute with Mr Rybolovlev accusing Yves Bouvier, an art dealer, of misleaing him about the price.
2. $274m The Card Players by Paul Cézanne
https://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/03299/The-Card-Players-c_3299110b.jpg
Qatar had previously held the record with this work, bought in 2011, one of dozens of major Western works its museums have snapped up in recent years. It featured two two stony-faced card players, models selected by Cézanne from his family’s estate outside Aix-en-Provence: the gardener and a farm hand.
1.$300m When Will You Marry by Paul Gauguin
https://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/03299/gauguin-Nafea-Faa-_3299109b.jpg
Gauguin's 1982 picture of two Tahitian girls smashed the record for the world's most expensive single work of art, when Qatar bought the canvas from a Swiss collector for almost $300 million in February. It was painted during Gauguin's first trip to Tahiti, where he said he travelled to escape "everything that is artificial and conventional" in Europe

allycat:
His father was a half caste with a Nigerian mother from Akassa in Ogbia LGA Bayelsa state. The list of his siblings is very incomplete, his eldest brother is Francis Bruce a well known businessman in Port Harcourt with no political ambition or affiliations. They share father but not mother. At least 2 of his sisters are missing from the list, I can't remember the names but one Aunty Helen as she is called owns Bambi Creche in Shonibare estatend recently lost her husband. Although from Bayelsa state they all grew up in Lagos except the eldest and he Ben Bruce only began to associate with Bayelsa during his tenure as NTA Dg.
akassa in brass lga..you sound like you know them well..nice though. I guess you know Arc Harcourt Adukeh ( notable member of the family within akassa people) he is their direct cousin.
