Many are gaining tremendous popularity around the world, so much so that they are stimulating the creation of real world rankings on murals and street art. This is precisely what Street Art Cities, a site that is busy ranking the most beautiful murals around the world, has done. The top 10 in this ranking are literally incredible works that do not seem possible to have been drawn by human beings. Enjoy.
1 - Trashure
This mural was painted on CVB Ecologistics, asked them to paint a mural about what the company stands for. The authors are Kaspar van Leek (1983, Philipsburg, SX) and Niels van Swaemen (1981, Eindhoven, NL) from gitfig studio. CVB Ecologistics is a company link between suppliers of recyclable raw materials and the manufacturing industry, hence the idea for the mural, with the title being a union of the words trash and treasure, an ode to recycling.
2 - Travel Study
Renowned muralist Martín Ron has created two works at the National University of Lomas de Zamora (UNLZ). These murals depict daily scenes of students at this school. The one in the photo, the girl studying on the bus route, can be seen outside the library.
3 - The Hands of many
This mural is located in Ondarroa, Spain, and is a tribute to the women of Ondarroa who have managed the most important activities of village life for centuries. This mural, says the Street Art Cities website that compiled the ranking, "is also, in part, a legacy in the practice of sharing. It is anchored in this city, in this neighbourhood, as a contribution to the exercise of memory: meticulous hands of women, hands of women past and present'.
4 - The Punishment
As the artist well explains, "This project uses the school punishment of our childhood, 'Write 100 times on the blackboard,' to ironically represent the indoctrination mechanisms we receive from an early age to keep us in control and direct our lives toward predetermined patterns."

5 - Rabbit Hole
This work of art is tremendously special in that it is an anamorphism, that is, it is only possible to see it in its entirety from a single point of view. This work was created for the "Plein Champ" festival in Le Mans, and in this case the artist was assisted by as many as six assistants.

6 - Platon's Tavern
This mural is located in Spain and is, as seen in the photo, split in two. The beauty here is the simplicity of the scene, but especially the protagonists observing something that the viewer, on the other hand, cannot see, because it is out of their field of vision and the scene.

7 - Sweets, joy & happiness
The idea of this pastry shop that asked a street artist to paint its façade was beautiful. The owner gave the artist total freedom, so he obviously thought of children and chocolate, also because this pastry shop is located in front of a playground.

9 - Love is stronger than death' vol. 4
This mural is curated by Progetto Trust, and is the fourth in a series of works in Taranto, Italy, dedicated to the death of the artist's father. In particular, this work represents the physical presence that remains intact.

It may sound like a trivial question, but in fact it is not trivial at all; on the contrary, it holds within it very important physical and philosophical questions. The Washington Post noted that this question is stirring up some of the people on Twitter these days.
The debate was generated by a tweet from journalist Jacqui Deevoy, who wondered how it was possible that the sun had 'changed colour' from what she remembered as a child. The answer, however, is one that leaves one somewhat appalled, as there is no real unequivocal answer.
After all, children do not make a mistake by drawing the sun as a big yellow ball, but it is not a completely right answer. After all, light is just the perception of the wavelength of radiation emitted by the sun, and therein lies the whole secret.

Napoleon Bonaparte, often also referred to as Napoleon, was a French politician and general, founder of the First French Empire and protagonist of the first phase of contemporary European history, known as the 'Napoleonic Age'.
His conquests throughout Europe and beyond make him one of the finest military strategists ever, but his importance is not limited only to victories in the field. Also important were some campaigns, such as the one in Egypt, which returned priceless treasures to the world.
His life, studded with continual ups and downs, intrigues, murders and love affairs, ended in 1821 on the island of St Helena, in exile, due to stomach cancer. Although his life has filled the history books for over a century, some curiosities may still have escaped you.
