Art History Is Not Linear No. 2

Earlier this month, I published a posting describing how I tried to instill in art students the idea that art history is not linear, and that the totality of art is a never-ending circle of inspiration. Then I showed paired examples that crossed time and cultures, which can be found here.

I couldn't help adding a few more, as I will continue to do.
