Madonna of the steps: simple monumentality from Nicolas Poussin, who was born on this day in 1594. Perhaps with a nod to Caravaggio's fruit basket, too.

Ooh this looks very useful for teaching concepts of monumentality:
Archaeologists often describe ancient structures as 'monumental', but what does this actually mean? #MonumentsMonday
A social construct rather than an objective description, does the term project modern architectural ideas onto past cultures?

Mamdani: Next question! Yes, Amy.
Journalist: Mr. Mayor, do you think cities maintained their political and social centrality despite their loss of Roman-style monumentality?
Mamdani: Great question. Let me start by mentioning recent excavations in Aphrodisias…

Fascist architecture is characterized by monumentality, strict symmetry, and the use of noble materials to demonstrate power and strength.

normally i think the practice of naming university buildings after rich alumni is horrible and a way for the worst ghouls on the planet to buy their way into monumentality but NOT THIS TIME!

I think the further away we get from Obama’s presidency the more the monumentality of America’s ambivalence towards him strikes me. The country is simultaneously mad he didn’t rewrite the country from the ground up and furious that he got the stain of his Blackness on their precious white house.

2/2 Hugo's Portinari altarpiece is a BIG painting! Not out of place among all the Italian works at the Uffizi, where it lives now. Kind of startling in its monumentality. That's how its Italian patrons liked it.

Hellenistic-Republican Canosa stands for luxury, monumentality and globalisation, but it also has a lot to offer in the small things. Today: a terracotta mule carrying two trays loaded with cheeses.

Outside it is harsh and imposing, extremely different to the delicate and embracing interior, the weighty monumentality means that one is struck by the intense contrast upon entering... anyway you must go, its astonishingly good

I always love rewatching the mobile armor awakening in IBO because the way the entire genre of the soundtrack shifts in that moment to emphasise the monumentality of it hooks in my brain

Two early Christian stones near Carn Ingli, Pembrokeshire.
On the left, Newport’s cross‑inscribed slab and on the right, Nevern’s Vitalianus (Vortigern) Stone.
An incredible landscape of monumentality in west wales.
