ABOUT MICHAEL IAN GLYN
This unreported discovery attracted over University Professors and other academic faculty around the world on LinkedIn between October 2016 and April 2022.Many different fields of interest, including particularly Archaeology, Architecture, Art History, History, Library/Information Studies, Linguistics, Anthropology, Russian, Chinese, Theology, Religious Studies, Psychology, Political Science/International Relations,Sociology, Philosophy, Gender Studies and English, but also Herpetology, Neuroscience, Law/Criminology and others less related. Also Specialists in museums, auction houses and galleries and Religious Leaders, Politicians, Journalists, Publishers, Students, Writers and Artists, whom I have either invited or been invited by, over 18k in all.These nielloed silver images all work by understanding optical mixing and contain far more detail than is immediately apparent. We learn to look at an image only \' the right way up\'- as it appears in a book or on a wall. But revise when we learn that an artist may intend for us to look at their work through 360 degrees and from close up to distant in varying light strength to reveal a widely practised technique of artists great and good, certainly since the appearance of the Chinese Prototype St.George & Dragon in when the spire and weathercock began appearing on Western churches) escaping censorship/torture/execution with all the extra details they can include. Indeed the title of a work may be no more than a vehicle for more subtle, not to say subversive, depictions. This is mainly in Western Art.With this amazing treasury of historical detail to be found to increase our understanding of the past, we have our artist predecessors to thank. Our common heritage contained in this optically mixed way is open to all in books, galleries and museums and most rewarding to research, as faces from the past need to be identified in their hidden contexts, requiring today\'s resources and scholars. None of these four optically mixed images are Christian, one is Satanic and may cause offence.
