Just Last Saturday I took in a Tudor's Exhibition At The Legions of Honor Museum in SF
I did not know much about the Tudor's history before.
I didn't know about the War of The Roses.
A bloody war between two sections of the same ruling
family.
The winner, the Red over the White, brought in by
Henry VII brought profound changes to England in the name of science and discovery, as well as art and culture.
And while it epically drove positive changes, most of the sacrifice that took place remains to this day, at best under-recorded.
Just imagine a politician saying today,
We need more economic policies based upon basic feudalism.
Where the proceeds from all progress, all the vital, finite resource is kept in the hands of the few.
The enlightened few who by birth are given the right to rule.
There's a whole lot about true history I do not know enough about.
Art history is a way of seeing things, telling a story, history itself is Art - describing what you have seen and how you actually felt about what is left to discover of the past.
The tremendous artifacts of art, the early scientific notations, the logic all brought into account in one place.
The Royals, the family - a small family with a whole lot of resource helping to shape religion, mythology, philosophy,
the natural sciences, a revival of invention, a revival of Leonardo, the Greeks, the Syrians, everything - where did it all go,
where did it all begin - why did it go down that way --- is there still something left to learn from true history ?
Jesus Christ, I hope so!
Peace!
