You confirm I am not misinterpreting: we just see things differently. You believe you know what the intended audience would have recognised; I don't. The best I can do is try to document myself and, on the basis of the evidence I read and observe, tentatively approximate the approach of late-medieval people. I am always bound to go wrong.
I believe that what we modern viewers can recognise is totally relevant: it is the only basis for our understanding of the intention of an image. The rest (what we cannot recognise) is by definition out of reach and the realm of pure fantasy.
