Description
This one is the more "consistent" of the traditional mystic relics. At this time there are four objects designed as "The Holy Lance" (also known as the "Spear of Destiny", "Lance of Longinus" and other names). As model I've used the one exposed in Hofburg, Wien (Austria). Other two lances are more controversial and about the fourth (preserved in Vatican City) we have no more than a couple of rough sketches by a french voyager from the XIX century.
The "Lance of Power" has been desired by so many kings and statesmen though centuries up to the the II World War and, probably, again in the contemporary age.
It is a strange thing: this should be a modern and materialistic age but still so many peoples look for possession of this (and more) relic. No modern and illuministic conceptions and knowledges affects the mind of some peoples, especially if statesmen?!?
Too much materialism is not good, but likewise wrong thing when mythos and mysticism prevail reality too. All we have to think about.
My personal journey through mythos, however, will be continued in future. There are so many other legends and relics to investigate in the history of human king all around the world...

Oh what a wonderful surprise this morning. So glad to see your post. Beautiful work.
Fascinating story and great colour scheme! Nice work.
Hic est Imago Mirabilis !! Cette image basée sur le thème de la Lance Sacrée est d'une grande beauté et d'une grande pureté. La composition parfaite, qui semble axée (c'est le cas de le dire !) sur le Nombre d'Or, rend cette image fascinante et lui donne une touche classique autant qu'intemporelle. Ce qui convient parfaitement au Thème illustré ici. Du Grand Art !Bravo et merci de partager votre art...

The ideal is the harmony between spiritualism and materialism. The fact is that, as specie, we are just since a few decades at the end of our teenage, not already adult as many claim... Mostly by fear and prideness", . Great creation and so goldish colours! excellent!!
