Srednjovjekovna umjetnost puna je zanimljivih detalja pa smo tako već pisali o crtežima mačaka, no koliko god takve slike bile bizarne, još je zanimljivije promatrati kako su umjetnici crtali životinje koje nisu nikad vidjeli.
Takve slike na Twitteru je podijelio Daniel Holland, a na njima se mogu vidjeti krokodili, nosorozi, leopardi i druge životinje koje su umjetnici crtali samo na temelju opisa. Urnebesne rezultate svakako pogledajte u nastavku.

A thread of medieval paintings of animals that look nothing like real animals because the artist had never seen them.
