What discovered? -- I think it was how their feet move together when they run...
Meems
yup...the ever mysterious shirley hemple got it right. they found out that at one point, a horse isn't touching the ground at all. (you can see this in the second or third picture)
and no...im not.
too bad i had to delete his post for being disgusting!!!
too bad I can't find the picture that shows this SO well...
but here is another one. http://www.classicartrepro.com/artistsc.iml?painting=6554
Basically that horses did not run like dogs... with all four legs splayed out at once, unless they are bringing tall legs in, they have to have at least one on the ground. Knowing that, it makes the painting with horses having legs splayed out look positively weird...
i'm not art history fan, we just covered this awhile ago.:)
i meant all legs... not tall legs. duh
