While surfing through Facebook, I came across a series of photos of the 1767 ornate Dutch naval yacht PEGASUS, made by Ivan Tratanj and displayed at a German museum. The location of this museum was not disclosed.
Here, is the artist himself posing beside his creation at an undisclosed German museum.
The bow view of the PEGASUS. Note the skill of the carving work on this model.
Another view of the bow of the PERGASUS. The figurehead of the legendary winged horse is a special work of art that is unique.
A close up view of the winged horse PEGASUS. The sculptued work is breathtaking. In ancient Greek mythology, the winged horse Pegasus, sprung from the blood of Meduse which caused hippocrene, the fountain of poetic inspiration. It is also a sky constellation.
The stern of the Dutch 1767 yacht, with ortnate work that is beyond the skill of most model makers.
A close up view of the stern window from the starboard side. Again, the sculptured work is awesome.
A deck view of the skylight and companion way.
View of the starboard side ornate leeboard.
The ornate stern windows.
This is the ship modeler's art at its highest level. Most people would not even think of doing this kind of creative skill. Frankly, I'm green with envy just to look at these pictures.
Happy modeling Crackers
