I tend to view the art style of the VMs human figures in the context of the whole manuscript. Romanesque human proportions maybe a result of exposure to Romanesque art - as evident by presence of Romanesque architecture. I've seen arguments for Hellenistic, Oriental and even Aztecan art styles in the VMs. I am not arguing to exclude those as possibilities. I simply hope that when attempting art analysis of the VMs the Latin Europe will be included.
