Can we have some pre-photography art where the artist had to guess at the things he hadn't seen?

Why limit the thread to pre-photography, though?
Glorious worker's paradise didn't know which color bananas were.

Maybe those are plantains.
This is described as "medieval taxidermy" but it doesn't explain what happened to the teeth
This is a Giraffe
Semi-related (more likely comedic rather than an inaccurate representation) -- Monkeys at school.
"The boa, an enormous snake that kills cows by sucking out all their milk."
"The peculiar beast attacking the man, with its bear-like body and bird wings and beak, is a crocodile, which will weep once it has eaten the man."
Another Crocodile:
"The beast eats a man wherever it finds one, and then in repentance weeps and cries for the rest of its life. So if after the lady has killed and devoured him by his love, he hopes she will repent that she has let him go"

The most famous example in East Asian art of course.
Though to be fair, there WERE Lions in very Ancient China. Except they died out and this left the Chinese to work from oral history up until trade in the late BC's brought them actual examples.

Paleo nerd here. Besides the fused snout, it actually is kinda similar to some extinct pachyderms.

>forest green plantains so shiny and dusty they look like a bandoleer of cucumbers rolled in powdered sugar
If you live in Miami or any other state with a pretty alright Hispanic diaspora you know which is which.
Also kek at the almost teal bunch-heads
>>558297
shiny green or dark natural green is still green. if yout post laughs about a filmmaker using shiny green instead of dark green on plantains then you are a retard.
btw, i live in argentina (if thats hispanic enough for you) and i have eaten green plantains as the ones i posted, so these exist

In relation to Southeast Asia, yes, but in relation to East Asia it's only really religious influence. Of course with religious influence came a lot of artistic influence too, much of it combined with Bactrian Greek art, especially when it comes to sculpture.
>>559533
Here's another one.
You'd think someone would get dead babies right...
>>559567
Dem dorfs, man, dem dorfs.
>>559552
At least he got the Indians right
>>559561
Southeast Asia is a Venn Diagram of Chinkiness and Pajeetness t.b.h.
Some are more Chinky/Pajeet than others.
>>559567
He just gave up on giving fucks
>>559500
More likely central asia, though their and even the indian artistic depiction of lions has its root in persian art.
>>558913
why do they all have dicks
>>559584
>>559584
Depends on the country. Vietnam is completely Chink, but the rest is Pajeet. Ethnically most Southeast Asians originated in what is now southern China (but back then wasn't Han Chinese), but their civilization and culture is almost completely derived from India (plus Islam in Indonesia/Malaysia).
For most of the medieval period I think it's best to think of Southeast Asia as an extension of India, only really becoming distinct in the late medieval/early modern periods, except for Vietnam which should really be thought of as part of East Asia.

>though their and even the indian artistic depiction of lions has its root in persian art.
Which itself was derived from Assyria. I love these kinds of connections between cultures that hadn't even heard of each other.

>>559715
Oh shit, is this the janitor (not from 4chan, kek) who kept writing a story throughout his life? I read about him once.
Yes.
Oh shit, I found him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Darger
There's a lot more pictures than just that one up above if you look him up on Google Images.
>>559707
did the ming have hats like this? or was it a later joseon development?
>>559728
Yeah, I found something related on /t/ 2 years ago but I never give me a chance to look at it.
>>559757
I wasnt referring to that outfit. Since that's pretty freaking Korean.
I was referring to this one. Its what higher officials both in China and Korea wore.
>>559768
oh i know, i just always thought the various brimmed ones were cool and wondered if there was a ming equivalent
>>559757
JOOS
>>559773
The only brimmed Chinese hat I know was a military hat that looked like this.
