Rosettes and Revelations Pt.1: The Holy City - Koen Gheuens and Cary Rapaport

[Mark Knowles]

What do you see as the similarities? I am genuinely interested.

Layers of scalloped lines, uneven coloring including blue and white (the Rosettes page appears to have no reddish color to its disposal). Most importantly, the way rays of light are drawn. This is linking the patterns in the VM to actual historical practice. What you like to do is disconnect from that and invent your own thing, then look down on people who refer to actual imagery.

My earlier point about general simple shapes like circles or simple patterns was they can be found in lots of places. So that "scalloped" pattern that you refer to is an excellent example of that. On the whole the patterns that you refer to here don't seem that similar to me anyway to what we see in the Voynich illustration. In fact I think this is really an excellent example of my point. The key difference namely the two figures really illustrates how on complex illustrated shapes they really differ.

Yes. I think this can serve as a good example of what I mean when talking image comparison.

I was being quite serious when I said this, above, about this example being a good example of my point.
