side-by-side of the Hereford Mappa Mundi and the world map from Kingdom Come: Deliverance. On the left is a zoomed-in view of an old medieval map, with water filled in with dark ink, surrounded by drawings of buildings, shapes, and walls drawn at all angles. Text is mixed in with the images, making the map feel busy and full of information. On the right is a screenshot from a modern video game map, drawn in a storybook style, with forests, rivers, farm fields, and town buildings placed neatly on the map and coloured brightly.

Surrounding the church are abstract patterns in vivid blues, purples, and reds, along with angelic or celestial imagery, including a figure with a starry headdress and wings.

The painting The Anatomy Lesson of Dr Nicholaes Tulp by Rembrandt shows a group of formally dressed men, some wearing dark hats, gathered around a pale, lifeless male corpse lying on a wooden table. Dr Tulp, positioned to the right, gestures with surgical tools as he explains the exposed anatomy of the corpse’s left arm, while the figures around him display varied expressions of curiosity in a dimly lit room with a dramatic sense of light and shadow.
