Nymph Proportions

[EllieV]

Ellie - Perhaps I should have said "art style" indicator instead of "cultural indicator"

I agree with you if you mean it in this sense.
 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.
