So those tapestry images at the top of the story, where the riders legs nearly hit the floor, are not false perspective and heights, but actually are true representations of horse riders at the time. Its funny that we didn't realise for all these centuries that they weren't crap artists, but actually showing what they saw correctly.
ReplyDeleteYore right of course. Everyone assumed that the tapestry makers were just bad at relatives heights or were emphasising how big the knights were. Now we know that they were riding horses no bigger than modern ponies. Thanks for the comment Peter.
