And what means a person, who stands behind the king?
Above the text is an image where two persons are talking behind the back of the king. And you probably know why that painting is made. The thing is that there is always danger, that the king would hear that somebody will talk something, what was not wanted to tell to the king. In many paintings is this character, who wears the crown. The "king" is the symbol of the official government or ruler of some things.
When we are looking at medieval art, we are seeing many times a person, who is standing behind the king. The purpose of that person or those persons is to warn people, that somebody is whispering to the ear of the king things, what other people are done. When we are thinking about the painters they have been always similar persons, and I think that the medieval painter had the same kind of attitudes with the modern painter, and the reason, why in those paintings has certain details.
The thing is that the king has always the same kind of attitude to the power, was that person legal king or the leader of some street gang. The leaders of street gangs are also kings, what have secret empires. The same way the king who leads state acts. Both kings are protecting their areas, and the state means everything for those people. And here we are seeing, how the power and rule effects to people.
Regular people have always almost the same, who is the ruler of the nation, but for the ruler, the same thing is not the same. King is in the middle of people and that means that this person would not be needed if the state would be occupied. Nobody wants deposed kings, because they knew too many secrets. And that's why the state means everything for that kind of person.
The regular thing is that the more power and higher rank the person has in the system the more that system means to the person. And this means that the person who gets very much from some system would fill the time of that person. When humans began to agriculture the reason, why they stood in someplace was that the place was given much for them. And the eldest people were important because they knew when the corn must be planted. Without that information the agriculture is useless.
Agriculture began the advantage, which led to forming the state and the reason, why states and governments were established was that the new cities needed regulations and orders on how to behave and act. The mission of the government is to follow that people will follow the rules, what mission is to make life more comfortable.
