In 1939, a mere 25-year-old Oskar Raunam painted a bizarre fresco in the basement, next to the sturdy fireplace in the parlour. Ignoring its non-uniqueness (Raunam did monumental paintings elsewhere) and artistic quality (which is not great), there is still something to be said about it\u2014namely, the pretensions expressed in this fresco are quite strange. Between two arches lies a rather fanciful world map, covered with dots that mark the diplomatic missions of the Republic of Estonia at the time. <br \/><br \/>Generally speaking, maps on the walls of power corridors have a direct iconographic meaning\u2014\u2018See this here? All of this is ours, ours to gaze at\u2019. When such a pose is struck by some merchant prince of the Medici family, it is fair enough and we can write it off as a Tuscan peculiarity. However, for interwar Estonia\u2014even the Era-of-Silence Estonia\u2014this is a very funny thing to do.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ajakirimaja.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/N5A0273_foto-Martin-Siplane_MAJA-119-scaled.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ajakirimaja.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/N5A0273_foto-Martin-Siplane_MAJA-119-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23719\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ajakirimaja.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/N5A0273_foto-Martin-Siplane_MAJA-119-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/ajakirimaja.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/N5A0273_foto-Martin-Siplane_MAJA-119-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/ajakirimaja.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/N5A0273_foto-Martin-Siplane_MAJA-119-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ajakirimaja.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/N5A0273_foto-Martin-Siplane_MAJA-119-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ajakirimaja.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/N5A0273_foto-Martin-Siplane_MAJA-119-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/ajakirimaja.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/N5A0273_foto-Martin-Siplane_MAJA-119-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Photo: Martin Siplane<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The world map with its heavyset anthropomorphisations of the continents between the poles would make more art-historical sense if placed in the foyer. Placed in the basement, away from the public rooms, this fresco represents a certain two-faced blend of shame and self-indulgence. It is a delightful historical document of the kind that tries to say, \u201eOh dear, look at what they have done!\u201c<br><br>This basement room is today once again used as a sort of family recreation room, where the current keepers of the Knighthood House are digging into their microwaved lunchboxes, and outsiders are usually not welcome there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>The least seen floor in Terra Mariana<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Estonian Knighthood House, there is a room we have all seen through our TV screens\u2014the press conference room, both the ceiling and floor of which remain mostly invisible, as they are never in the camera\u2019s field of view. Watching a presser on TV, you might even forget that these rooms are real, rather than theoretical ersatz places whose sole purpose is to generate another fake reality\u2014the TV reality. Funnily enough, the wood flooring of the Knighthood House press room plays on the same theme in its own quiet and particular way. Simple wide floorboards are covered with two (!) layers of grained parquet.
