Behind her are the three magi shown as black men and next to Mary are two black male dancers

Have you ever seen pics like this before in the medieval times of black people and what do feel about these pics.
Wow…you’ve taught me something new today. I’ve never seen paintings like those.
I remember someone depicted a picture of a leader of Zimbabwe once–he was wearing medieval clothes. But as far as famous people I’d have to say no…

"The northern part of Africa developed it’s own style of artwork. Through history, some of the northern art was influenced by it’s Mediterranean neighbors and also by the spread of both Islamic and Christian religions that had their own artistic styles."
"Morien is the adventure of a splendidly heroic Moorish knight (possibly a Christian convert) supposed to have lived during the days of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Sir Morien is described as follows: "He was all black, even as I tell ye: his head, his body, and his hands were all black, saving only his teeth. His shield and his armour were even those of a Moor, and black as a raven."
