Realism and Art
Posted: 28 Apr 2013, 21:10
Heraldry is very much an art form, and has been effected by the advances in art. The changes can be exemplified by the fact that some have even introduced the term stylized into blazon, when really all traditional heraldry has been "stylized" In fact it is in the blazon where we see a lot of the effects of realism in heraldic art. Traditional charges such as lions tend to be depicted traditionally. Some animals have developed two varieties, this is certainly the case with the tiger and the antelope. What are your thoughts on this?
