R.I.P Dad Missin you as always

Oh please! You can read anything into everything.

Since the early 19th Century, we have been blessed with a better understanding of our Earth and of our Universe, but back in the day when those paintings were commissioned, it was widely believed that a man lived in the Moon and comets and Solar/Lunar eclipses were omens of doom wrought upon us by God.

These "Alien Craft", as the Author calls them, are merely the Artist's intepretation of the Celestial Bodies according to the lore of the time.

Per aa, celestial bodies means "other worldly bodies"... Seems to fit accordingly.
Alpha, I think it is a very interesting article. To think we are the only ones alive in this spectacular universe is selfish and narrowminded.

These examples can be explained as representations of saints, the holy spirit, angels etc. The icons used in this religious art has been explained in this article.

Another nice article, UNR. But how does a dog and a man represent the birth of Christ?

I've wondered about this myself...during the time of those paintings, the Church had such a stronghold...and these artists were forced to paint religious art. Quite simply...they were told what to paint.

I don't know what those images are...but it is not beyond possibility that the artists of the time may have been trying to "sneak" in a few concepts of their own.

Regardless...excellent article, and very interesting concepts talked about.

Check out some of the designs of the great Leonardo DaVinci...quite ahead of its time I must say. Scroll down a bit and see the armoured car.....

I've seen that armored car pic before. It is quite scary, actually!

Interesting article. I've always wondered since taking a couple of arts history courses in college what exactly the artist was trying to show, if anything, that he wouldn't get into trouble with the Church over but felt it important enough to include.
