For it is the duty of an astronomer to compose the history of the celestial motions through careful and skillful observation. Th

en turning to the causes of these motions or hypotheses about them, he must conceive and devise, since he cannot in any way attain to the true causes, such hypotheses as, being assumed, enable the motions to be calculated correctly from the principles of geometry, for the future as well as for the past. The present author has performed both these duties excellently. For these hypotheses need not be true nor even probable; if they provide a calculus consistent with the observations, that alone is sufficient.” —Copernicus, as quoted in The Discoverers According to Copernicus, what is the first duty of the astronomer? a. conceiving c. observation b. devising d. assuming

Many of the cave paintings at Lascaux show the animals with heads in profile, but with horns facing forward. This is an example
Elanso [62]

Answer:

The convention of representation depicted in the Lascaux cave paintings where the heads of the animals are in profile but their horns are facing forward is called the twisted perspective.

Explanation:

The Lascaux cave paintings (c. 17,000 BCE) are remarkable because the animals are depicted with a lot of vitality and detail for the time period. The Timeline of Art History on the MET's website describes cave paintings and engraving appearing on the ceilings or walls of caves as “parietal” art. It is likely the caves were more for ceremonial purposes than for providing a group or community shelter. At Lascaux, the artists used outlines for precision and detailed them with soft colorings that they likely blew onto the depictions using a straw-like tool. The animals at Lascaux are typically painted with a slight twisted perspective. This gives the drawing more visual power and sense of the animal in movement because their horns or antlers are painted from the front, but their heads are in profile. Scholars who have analyzed the paintings have found that this twisted perspective is also used in artwork originating from Mesopotamia and Egypt.
