The Triumph of Galatea
Artist: Raffaello Sanzio (Raphael)
Location: Villa Farnesina Rome Italy
Year: 1513 - Type: Fresco
Raphael did not paint any of the main events of the story. He chose the scene of the nymph's apotheosis. Galatea appears surrounded by other sea creatures whose forms are somewhat inspired by Michelangelo, whereas the bright colors and decoration are supposed to be inspired by ancient Roman painting. At the left, a Triton (partly man, partly fish) abducts a sea nymph; behind them, another Triton uses a shell as a trumpet. Galatea rides a shell-chariot drawn by two dolphins.

Today, July 11th is China National Maritime Day, officially referred to as Maritime Day of China, and in Chinese: 中国航海日. It is celebrated July 11, 2005, commemorating Zheng He's first voyage. The date marks the 600th anniversary of the ocean voyages of Zheng He, navigator of the Ming Dynasty, who went on seven voyages to show China's might to the rest of the world, under the command of Yongle Emperor. These voyages sought to prove to the Chinese people that the usurper Yongle was worthy of the throne and the gods accepted him with the Mandate of Heaven. The celebration's creation honors China's commitment to the International Maritime Organization, of which it is a member. Happy Maritime Day, China!

English LYRICS for the song used in the tribute ( original video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euwYrhHPsY8 )

On the planet of the living, it's day, it's night
On the planet of the living, it's sunny, it rains
On the planet of the living, there's dark, there's light
On the planet of the living, there's life, there's death
You took off on your final flight
And your Little Prince has flown away - forever
You've loved this life, its spice and its colours
Now you're gone forever, forever, forever...
