When it comes to artwork ... I am an amateur. Recently, while aimlessly browsing Wikipedia, I came upon some art that was shocking to me in that I thought it was extremely well done, yet was not being found where I would expect to find art. The Coat of Arms for various cities and countries turned out to be worth looking at and admiring.

Here are a few of my favorites that I have come across.

Days and their ruling planets - linguistics

Alright, I've had enough and just researched real quick how we come to the names of our days and what it has to do with the planets associated to them.

 

Monday (Moon) - Not much to add to that, it's Moon - Day. The French call it lundi (luna we all know).

Tuesday(Mars) - Here it already gets exciting. Tuesday comes from Tiw's day, Tiw being ruler of the skies or Lord of war; Mars. French call it mardi, again making the connection easier than in germanic English.
