The story Niklas Amundson was born in 1967 on the Swedish east coast close to Stockholm. At an early age his family moved to a serene and beautiful island named Marstrand on the west coast of Sweden. There he followed in his father’s footsteps and began to paint nearly as soon as he could keep a brush in his hand. Through the years Niklas’ association with the sea has continued and has taken him from the deck of a 138” sailing yacht S/S Gloria, which was owned and build by Mikael Krafft, to a Marstrand pilot boat and later to the Swedish Coast Guard. In 2011 Niklas took over the famous light house island Pater Noster, four nautical miles west of Marstrand in the West Coast archipelago, where you can visit a gallery and enjoy a stay at the small hotel there. All the time he paints continuously, drawing inspiration from his experiences both from the past and the present. In his own words “I receive a daily dose of inspiration through my work with the Coast Guard and ocean-close living.” Niklas has showed twice at the annual exhibition of The Royal Society of Marine Artists. His first participation was at the RSMA’s 55th annual exhibition held at Mall Galleries in London 1999. He is official Artist for the maiden voyage the Ship Götheborg sailed from Sweden to China and back. He also made the official work of art for the Volvo Ocean Race 2005—2006 and 2008—2009. Official Artist for Virgin Oceanic. Represented at The Oceanographic Museum in Monaco with commissioned work of art for The Polar Expedition 1906—2006. Represented on board the Royal Danish ship Dannebrogen. Represented at The Monaco Yacht Club. His latest collection of paintings is “The Gallery of National symbols” where he works in oil on sail canvas. He catches the movement, the shadows, and the light in the flags, which make them feel alive. Niklas collectors are found all over the world from the Island of Mustique to Monaco, USA and Scandinavia. 3 Grace Kelly Ernest Hemingway Portraits 4 Evert Taube, Skål Evert Taube Orlando Bloom The Gallery is open 5 Lobster man, Royal Society of Marine Artists Marine Art Tuiga, Monaco Yacht Club 6 Pater Noster, Marstrand The Gallery is open 7 Tuiga 100 years Marine Art New York 8 San Francisco Pater Noster The Gallery is open 9 Enterprise Vinga – Gothenburg Marine Art 10 Official Work of Art, Volvo Ocean Race Ericsson, Volvo Ocean Race Volvo Ocean Race – Marstrand Volvo Ocean Race – Stockholm The Gallery is open 11 Cowes Regatta Grandbanks Fisherman Sailing 12 Americas Cup, Sir Thomas Lipton The Gallery is open 13 Tuiga and the Lady Anne Sailing The East Indiaman Götheborg 14 Dragon Gold Cup, Marstrand The Gallery is open 15 Detail from canvas Sailing Fishing boats, Monaco Harbour 16 Royal Clipper, Monaco The Gallery is open 17 Gallery of Flags Every country has its own history and the common denominators is Niklas Amundson’s art are inspired of his great love to marine theme the flag.

In this paper, we will consider heraldry in the Republic of Macedonia, understood by the multitude of coats of arms, and armorial knowledge and art. The paper covers the period from independence until the name change (1991-2019). It co- vers the state coat of arms of the Republic of Macedonia especially the 2009 change. Special atten- tion is given to the development of the municipal heraldry, including the legal system covering the subject. Also personal heraldry developed in 21 century is considered. The paper covers the de- velopment of heraldry and the heraldic thought in the given period, including the role of the Macedonian Heraldic Society and its journal Macedonian Herald in development of theoretic and practical heraldry, as well as its Register of arms and the Macedonian Civic Heraldic System. Keywords: Heraldry in Macedonia; Macedonian civic heraldry; Republic of Macedonia. 1.

  • THE LION FLAG Norway's First National Flag Jan Henrik Munksgaard
    THE LION FLAG Norway’s First National Flag Jan Henrik Munksgaard On 27 February 1814, the Norwegian Regent Christian Frederik made a proclamation concerning the Norwegian flag, stating: The Norwegian flag shall henceforth be red, with a white cross dividing the flag into quarters. The national coat of arms, the Norwegian lion with the yellow halberd, shall be placed in the upper hoist corner. All naval and merchant vessels shall fly this flag. This was Norway’s first national flag. What was the background for this proclamation? Why should Norway have a new flag in 1814, and what are the reasons for the design and colours of this flag? The Dannebrog Was the Flag of Denmark-Norway For several hundred years, Denmark-Norway had been in a legislative union. Denmark was the leading party in this union, and Copenhagen was the administrative centre of the double monarchy. The Dannebrog had been the common flag of the whole realm since the beginning of the 16th century. The red flag with a white cross was known all over Europe, and in every shipping town the citizens were familiar with this symbol of Denmark-Norway. Two variants of The Dannebrog existed: a swallow-tailed flag, which was the king’s flag or state flag flown on government vessels and buildings, and a rectangular flag for private use on ordinary merchant ships or on private flagpoles. In addition, a number of special flags based on the Dannebrog existed. The flag was as frequently used and just as popular in Norway as in Denmark. The Napoleonic Wars Result in Political Changes in Scandinavia At the beginning of 1813, few Norwegians could imagine dissolution of the union with Denmark.

  • Tsar of All Russia. Holiness and Splendour of Power Audio Tour Script
    The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: Tsar of All Russia. Holiness and Splendour of Power Audio Tour Script Pair of ambassadorial axes The axes with wootz steel heads are richly damascened in gold. The centre of the composition is an image of the Russian coat of arms — a double-headed eagle beneath three crowns. On the eagle’s chest is a heraldic shield depicting a rider spearing a fantastic serpent on one side of the axe and the picture of a unicorn on the other side. Besides the national coat of arms, the axes are damascened in gold with small figures of lions which are artistically unique among Russian weaponry. The handles of the axes are coated all over in silver — embossed, gilded and soldered from twisted wire. Turquoise has been inserted into the rounded ends. The steel tips of the axes appear to have been forged and decorated by the finest craftsmen of the Kremlin Armoury, while the silver settings were the work of the leading court silversmiths. The Moscow Kremlin Museums own a total of four such axes. In the 17th century, they served as the weapons of a rynda — the tsar’s ceremonial bodyguard. The objects were called ‘ambassadorial axes’ because bodyguards wielding these weapons were invariably present when the tsar met with foreign diplomats in the Kremlin Palace. During these audiences, four men dressed in tall hats and white kaftans with gold chains crossed over their chests would stand at each corner of the tsar’s throne, resting axes like these on their shoulders. .
