[QUOTE]Originally posted by A Habsburg Agenda: [QB] [IMG]http://realhistoryww.com./world_history/ancient/Misc/Crests/new_108b.jpg[/IMG] African Man, Jan Mostaert What evidence do you have that this is [b]ACTUALLY[/b] a faithful rendering of Charles V? What other images do you have to [b]corroborate[/b] your conclusion? Why this one and not any of the other portraits of well dressed black men in the Netherlands from that era? What distinguishes this painting, what are the features of this painting that separates from the other paintings of black men from that era, and makes this the definitive painting of Charles V? Note that I am not saying that your conclusions are wholly unfounded, but what is the supporting evidence besides the fact of the man being black and exhibiting some prognathism which many black people do? Conclusions are a dime a dozen. A deep scrutiny of the features, and that the conclusion is a well reasoned one from the analysis of those features is what really counts. We are only reasoning from images about scenes from 500 years back. This is not a physical science in which we can conduct experiments which prove our theories. We can only have well reasoned conclusions, nothing more than that. [/QB][/QUOTE]
