[QUOTE="Eltab, post: 7895716, member: 6803337"] This can be done well, or done poorly. Most often it is done poorly. Doing it well: Have you ever seen, in the margins of a history book, the painting of Napoleonic-era French soldiers shooting some Spanish peasants? Probably the text nearby explains that the Spanish rebelled when Napoleon dethroned their king and tried to put his brother on the throne of Spain. The French Army was sent to crush the rebellion, but it did not succeed. If ever you get a chance, visit the Prado (National Art Museum) in Madrid. The original of that painting is on display. From seeing it in the book, you might think the painting is about "typical painting" size, maybe 2 feet (2/3 meter) on the long side. It is actually life size. I recognized it immediately at first sight from across the room. I was stunned at the added effect when the scene did not have to shrink down to share a page. The Spanish peasants changed from 'subjects of a painting' to living people. [/QUOTE]
