A lot of art was commissioned by the church, and the church wasn’t massively bothered about realism, it was more about symbolism. It wasn’t that they didn’t know how to do depth and perspective, it’s just that wasn’t really what was wanted from art at the time.

Animals with human faces are… they make you feel a certain way, don’t they?
I saw a dog that looked exactly like Tilda Swinton the other day and it shook me up.

Now this, this is what I’m talking about. Would put that on a canvas and hang it up in my… living room? Or kitchen.

Yeah but they don’t really look like the cats do they. They’ve just put on similar clothes and pulled cat expressions. Not that there’s anything wrong with pulling a cat expression y’understand.
