Other cultures, what even do they look like. A question for academics. Here in the Mughals Painting workshop (about 1500), and the German Print Shop (early 20thC), we are on a deadline people! The Mughal says "Draw Youropeen", Herr Schvitz say "Draw Indian God for export schnell!" What goes in the background? Yourpeen things, Ynjan things I don't know just finish the fucking picture!
We start with whats honestly a pretty great painting of a foreigner from the Mughals court (I think Akbar? Dunno and I'm not checking).
YouropeenBut whats happening here in the background of this very Youropeen landscape?
Youropeen plantAnd where do Youropeens live? Hut or possibly city...(Honestly not bad for 1500 or so)How do they worship? Ehhhh hmm temples?
"Here we go worshipping christ again! As we commonly do here in Yourop!"
Meanwhile, (in fact several hundred years later), Germany leads der printing welt! Time to impinge on British Raj mit VORGESETZTER prints of Indian Gods for popular market! Quick, draw Vishnu!Not that bad? A bit stiff and euro-saintlike but wait, what is India even like anyway?They have.. der schloss?Aaaand... seltsame runde Dinge, vielleicht ist es ein Dock, ich weiß es nichtNever mind, draw Krishna!Krishna with his GopisPerfect! Now eine Stadt in den Hintergrund schieben oder sowhat do Ynjan cities look like?
