Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun. Its name is a reference to the Greek god of the sky, Uranus, who, according to Greek mythology, was the grandfather of Zeus and father of Cronus . It has the third-largest planetary radius and fourth-largest planetary mass in the Solar System. Uranus is similar in composition to Neptune, and both have bulk chemical compositions which differ from that of the larger gas giants Jupiter and Saturn. For this reason, scientists often classify Uranus and Neptune as "ice giants" to distinguish them from the other gas giants. Uranus' atmosphere is similar to Jupiter's and Saturn's in its primary composition of hydrogen and helium, but it contains more "ices" such as water, ammonia, and methane, along with traces of other hydrocarbons. It has the coldest planetary atmosphere in the Solar System, with a minimum temperature of 49 K , and has a complex, layered cloud structure with water thought to make up the lowest clouds and methane the uppermost layer of clouds. The interior of Uranus is mainly composed of ices and rock.Like the other giant planets, Uranus has a ring system, a magnetosphere, and numerous moons. The Uranian system has a unique configuration because its axis of rotation is tilted sideways, nearly into the plane of its solar orbit. Its north and south poles, therefore, lie where most other planets have their equators. In 1986, images from Voyager 2 showed Uranus as an almost featureless planet in visible light, without the cloud bands or storms associated with the other giant planets. Voyager 2 remains the only spacecraft to visit the planet. Observations from Earth have shown seasonal change and increased weather activity as Uranus approached its equinox in 2007. Wind speeds can reach 250 metres per second .

Amalienborg Square, Copenhagen is an 1896 oil on canvas painting by the Danish artist Vilhelm Hammershøi in the Statens Museum for Kunst.This painting shows Amalienborg Square, Copenhagen in a hazy setting with full sunlight on the 1768 Neoclassical statue of Frederik V on Horseback, commissioned by the Asiatic Company and created by the French sculptor Jacques Saly. This statue took 14 years to complete and cost more than Amalienborg's four palatial buildings which surround it, which is perhaps why Hammershøi decided to place it in full sunlight. The lack of any trace of human life in the painting is typical of Hammershøi's work and emphasizes the monumental qualities of the subject. The skewed architectural lines give the painting a sense of space and the horseman seems to be trotting calmly out of the painting, leaving the two-dimensional palace behind him. The trompe l'oeil effect makes the painting seem taller, but it is actually square.
Other monumental paintings of architecture by Hammershøi in this period were:

Альбертинум — музей изобразительных искусств в Дрездене, расположенный в одноименном здании эпохи неоренессанса.
Находится на восточном краю Террасы Брюля. Изначально Альбертинум использовался как арсенал и был перестроен в конце XIX века в музей архитектором Карлом Адольфом Канцлером. Здание было названо в честь короля Альберта, правившего Саксонией в 1873—1902. Сегодня в Альбертинуме расположены Собрание скульптуры и Галерея новых мастеров Государственных художественных собраний Дрездена.
Знакомство с Альбертинумом, известным до Второй мировой войны как музей скульптуры, вдохновило Ивана Цветаева на создание Музея изящных искусств в Москве. Переписка между Георгом Треем , директором Альбертинума, и Иваном Цветаевым длилась с 1881 до 1913 г. Последний писал об Альбертинуме как об «образцовом учреждении для всех будущих музеев гипсовых слепков в целом мире»
.
Открытие нового Альбертинума, реконструированного после наводнения на Эльбе , прошло в 2010 году под патронатом Президента Европейской комиссии Жозе Мануэля Баррозы.
