Aicher, "Terminal Display Fountains ("Mostre") and the Aqueducts of Ancient Rome" Phoenix 47.4 (Winter 1993:339-352), p 339; Aicher makes a case for the terminal fountains as features of modern Rome, but not of ancient Rome, as commonly assumed in the standard works listed in his bibliography p. 339.

Works by Aleksije Lazović are also preserved in the churches of Dobroselica, Mačkat and Bela Reka on the Zlatibor mountains, and theiconostasis he painted in the Monastery of Nikoljac in Bijelo Polje in 1837. The iconostases of Dečani are the most grandiose works and most beautiful of Simeon and Alexis Lazović who, between 1764 and 1837, executed numerous iconostasis in churches in Dalmatia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia. Being given their conceptions of pictorial art, these painters of icons were the continuators of iconography's post-Byzantine tradition, adapting models to the taste of their customers by modernizing them, that is, using the post-Baroque form practiced by engravers and painters who worked the territory subject to the spiritual authority of the Metropolitanate of Karlovci. The iconostasis of the Dečani Monastery, to a large extent, complements the image of the diverse activity of the painters Lazović and allows us to judge with more objectivity their work which translates faithfully the social and spiritual conditions in which they have lived and displayed their talents.

" Scott concluded: "...looking at this stretch of recordings with such a finite lens is doing them a disservice: this is music to cherish forever." Some reviewers praised the band for pursuing a new sound on the album, with Erik Adams of The A.V. Club writing "It’s no longer the Okkervil River of The Stage Names or Black Sheep Boy, and that’s a plus: I Am Very Far signals that the band’s gifts with song and sentiment were never tied to specificity." Slant Magazine's Jaymie Baxley also gave the album a positive review, writing "Fans who approach I Am Very Far carrying expectations informed by the group's earlier releases will no doubt find this to be Okkervil River's most challenging work to date, but it's also the group's most grandiose, thrilling, and brilliant." Tiny Mix Tapes, on the other hand, was less receptive to the band's new sound, writing "But rather than serve as a radical departure for Okkervil River, I Am Very Far treads familiar ground with a superficial extroversion that can't match the emotional particularity of the rest of the band's back catalog.

The construction of Les Invalides at the end of the 17th century completed the monumental Baroque style, which in the first quarter of the 18th century actually turned into decoration of the mansions and palaces of the Paris aristocracy (this style of interiors was called Rococo). At the same time, classicism reigned supreme in the architecture of the city throughout the eighteenth century (its sign was Église Sainte- Geneviève, and the most grandiose urban ensemble was the Place Louis XV at the tip of the Tuileries Garden). The architecture of the interiors of the absolutism era was most clearly expressed in the royal palaces of Paris - the Louvre, the Tuileries, the Palais Royal and Luxembourg, as well as in the suburban residences of the kings - Versailles, Grand and Small Trianon, Marly, Saint Germain, Saint-Cloud, Medon, Boulogne, Muette, Vincennes, Choisy-le-Roi, Rambouillet and Fontainebleau. In the architecture of Paris of the era of absolutism, one can trace the evolution of urban compositions (palace and park ensembles and squares) from the early Renaissance to the heyday of classicism (with elements of an emerging Empire style) and Baroque.
