It's great! Thx man!

Certainly there is more artistic talent in twcenter than there was among potters in the Middle Ages. On the other hand, I found some of the horse bridling interesting and also the lute player. Some lute and dulcimer music would sound good on the campaign map.

Hi Geoffrey,
I suppose that would make Picasso a talentless hack? Art isn't all about photographic realism, even if TWC artists would like their sources to be so.

Modern artists of historical subjects, directly or indirectly, base their historical reconstructions on primary sources like these (or their imagination).

Is the instrument an Oud?
