This is from the website
http://sprezzatura.it/Arte/Arte_UFO_eng.htm
ALSO MENTIONED
Ezekiel's Heavenly Throne Vision

The images at issue in these sites are generally the same ones. Once a
new image appears into one site, it spreads out immediately into the
others as well, usually together with the same identical comments.
The first impression is that at the basis of these web sites lies a
very simplistic methodology, being any historical or artistic
knowledge carefully avoided. The standard practice seems to be: first
taking a book concerning art, better if dealing with art works of the
17th or previous centuries; then looking for any strange detail, above
all saucer-like objects of any kind. Thats it. This way, obviously, it
is easy both to detect strange elements and to declare them alien or
unidentified in respect to the environment or the period in which they
appear.
The point is that no one of the authors of these web sites takes into
account the symbolic meaning of these strange elements in respect to
the art of the period. Worst of all, by considering these elements as
the representation of something real or really seen by the artist,
they assume that the artist, eg. an Italian artist of the 15th century
or an anonymous Byzantine painter, would actually be allowed to insert
any non canonical or un-codified element into a religious
representation. On the contrary, in past times the commissioners
(those who choose the subject and supervised the execution of the art
work - in these cases the religious institutions) would have never
allowed the author to insert into a work of art anything other than
what previously decided, especially in case of religious subjects. In
this latter case, in addition, restrictions were even stronger.
At this point one may wonder whether these authors writing about art
and UFOs have ever entered a museum or a church. If so, they would be
astonished about the infinite amount of strange objects included into
paintings, statues and art works of any kind
Next chapters focus on the real subject and meaning of a variety of
art works which appear into Italian and other ufology web sites, and
are intended as a strong response to those web pages which publish
ancient art reproductions without any knowledge of their real subject,
meaning and historical value.
