At Canossa (1077)", where we witness the dramatic moment when a humbled king sought forgiveness from Pope Gregory VII.

Venturing further eastward, we encounter "East Gate of the Great Stupa at Sanchi". This mesmerizing depiction transports us to ancient India where architectural grandeur intertwines with spiritual devotion—a true feast for our eyes and souls alike. Ollier doesn't shy away from depicting controversial moments either; one example being "Nero’s Torches - Burning Christians at Rome".
