A Little Art History :-)

Fantasy art has historical roots in religion, mythology, and folklore from all over the world. It seems to be a universal language of images about the mystery of life and forces unseen. Fantasy art evolved from Greek mythology, African magic, Chinese folklore, and other sacred traditions, with our museums full of ancient fantasy art depicting angels, gods, dragons, spirits, and demons. Fantasy art comes from the imagination as much or more than from direct observation of the real world.
