For centuries, thousands and thousands of people have watched galloping horses. And yet, apparently, not one of them has noticed what it “really” looks like when a horse gallops. Great and small masters liked to make the fiery animals float in the air with their legs stretched out - like Théodore Géricault. It was only about a hundred and fifty years ago, when the photographic camera had been sufficiently perfected, that these photographs showed that both painter and audience had been subject to deception all along.
