<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cachecoins, post: 5187916, member: 111237&quot;]Completely understand this but artists through time very often presented historical figures in their own times and fashion, much more so than later history painters who presented classical themes at least attempted to present them closer to how they may have dressed and in settings closer to their own time period. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here we have paintings of King Shapur humiliating the emperor Valerian. No attempt is made to present them as they would have looked or dressed and they are often placed in locations that are familiar to the artist, nothing like the location that such events took place. So I give them credit for at least taking on the subjects and trying to present them in a more accurate way.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1213823[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1213824[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
