Certainly, one can interpret the images and colours as one likes, or believes to recognise something in them.
But they are also dangerous.
Drawing something as you see it does not come about by chance.
I try to stick to simplicity and to refrain from self-interpretation if possible. They create a false image.
I refer to the indications of the time. Here, too, there is already no such thing as simple.
That is how I search in history. What do I see, where does it come from and what does it affirm. This as realistically as possible.
Example:
Historical picture with the battlements.
One wall further on: the shepherd with sheep. Which sheep?
Interpretation:
Interpretation:
The picture description says ibexes. I think, why ibexes? I rather see a goat species to the shepherd.
Both breeds ( sheep and goat ) are temporally authentic in the same place. This is well known
Are you sure it's a cardinal's hat?
I see it more as a priest's or bishop's cap.
What I'm saying to you is, stay as close to facts as you can. Support them with pictures.
Unfortunately, I don't see the details like you do.
