Canopus at Hadrian's Villa in Tivoli: monumental pool lined with statues inspired by ancient Egypt and Greece (Printable Countries, Cities and Monuments Coloring Page for adults)

Built in the 2nd century AD under Emperor Hadrian, the Canopus evokes the canal linking Alexandria to the Egyptian city of the same name.

Statues of caryatids and divinities and arcades reflected in the water create a solemn, symbolic setting.

The ensemble illustrates Hadrian's taste for cosmopolitan architecture and the synthesis of cultures in the Roman Empire.

The basin was used as a promenade and reception area, with reflections and perspectives designed as a theatrical setting.

The name 'Canopus' also refers to Hadrian's favorite, Antinous, often symbolically associated with Egypt and water in imperial iconography.

The Lady with the Unicorn, Raphael (1505-1506). Coloring created from La Dame à la licorne (1505-1506), by Raphaël (1483 - 1520). This work is a youthful portrait by Raphael, emblematic of the Italian Renaissance. The unicorn, symbol of purity and virtue, replaces an initial iconography revealed by restorations (dog, then modified attributes). The work is distinguished by its soft modeling, balanced composition and the obvious influence of Leonardo da Vinci in the treatment of the face and hands.
