Drawing the Historical Past Do you draw history? If so, which period are you mainly focusing on? I’d love to see your works and be inspired by it! 😊 As for myself, I mainly do medieval age (8th - 15th cent.), though I have done art in antiquity and early modern period.

“Feudalism” is great, if you are part of the ruling class that comes with certain privileges. Fealty is great on paper, but under feudalism, a man owes obligation to his lords, not to his ‘country’. History has taught us numerous succession crisis and civil wars because of this.

Moderns often use the term "feudalism" to capture the supposed backwardness of the Middle Ages. Even if they don't quite know what feudalism means, they know it's undemocratic—and therefore gross. But feudalism is based on a simple and sound truth.

This was commissioned years ago by a Syrian refugee I met, who fled the civil war. He lost his family and asked me if i could draw a picture of his daughter When I gave him this, I can still remember his words to this day “Thank you Gambargin, you’ve brought her back to life”
