Thank you Giannis for this answer and effort. I am open to revising my impressions. But as it seems there are some things will never agree on.
To think for a second,and forget pottery and walls,which I think trapped us as much as they helped...art is not photography.
Image of horror does not change no matter what age it is. By image of horror I mean Spartans,Huns,Samurai,Teutonic knights,SAS...etc..(they were all depicted as horror in texts). And it has nothing to do with Batman by the way :wink:
Look how they presented themselves.That grim look serves a purpose - to scare the living soul out of you.And make way to superior skill. Although you may think you got it all right by recreating exactly what ancient artist painted,I think you missed it by a lot,mainly because you missed the brutal and grim essence,and mind concept of those men which would never allow them to look like you think they did.
I realize I am greatly outnumbered here so I will rest my case now.I thank all who took part in this.
Giannis please see this as simple discussion, If I insulted you,it was not my intention.We don't agree on this and that is all
All best
PS:Lets say the some 1000y.o. text says these guys below had blue and yellow shields.
We recreate it ---picture at the bottom.
And the truth was far away --- picture on top.
My whole point.See it? Now transfer it to Sparta.That is how far away we are from ancient. As long as you realize its okay.
