True, I've wondered about that as well. The technique evident in this 13th Century illustration is comically juvenile. Why was so much Medieval art so bad?
Turns out there are many answers to that question.
One, most Medievel Europeans were simply bad artists, just like most people today are bad artists. A lot of the lowbrow and middlebrow graphic illustrations drawn back then were done by random joes, who felt the spirit, but not the painter's brush, move them. There were talented Medieval painters but their works were less common and usually hanging in some rich aristocrat's castle.
Two, the rules of perspective didn't get formally established until the early 15th Century in Italy. Untrained amateur painters and illustrators before that time would not have been acquainted with proper rendering techniques.
Three, there is a lot of great Medieval art, but it was usually found in decorative works like book bindings or music boxes, not so much in painting.
Four, it is possible that Europeans lost a lot of Greco-Roman realistic painting techniques after the fall of Rome.
Five, there is a theory that Medieval Europeans held the belief that realistic paintings using perspective were "an affront to God", becaue it hubristically mimicked God's creation. This is a controversial theory, though, because realistic paintings were created during that time.

There does appear to be a loose parallel between jewish and Quaker histories. Both groups were (rationally) discriminated against in many economic and cultural sectors. They responded to the discrimination by pouring into the occupational fields which were still open to them: banking and industry.
The wealth each group nepotistically accrued from those endeavors allowed them to more effectively subvert the surrounding society.
It's good to visualize the geographical origin of many of the groups we discuss. Geography and group attributes are strongly associated through the process of evolution.
The Quakers originate predominately from the English Highlands. Mountain people tend to be more clannish (ethnocentric) than lowland peoples, yet the Quakers very early on developed a pacifist ideology that seems to contradict accepted theories of ethnocentric group psychology research.
It is possible Quaker pacifism was a form of group fitness behavior, by way of virtue signaling harmlessness and victimhood that would allow their group to more easily take advantage of host societies.
The Quaker Question.
I link this video for discussion purposes. We have a Jewish Problem. Do we also have to grapple with a Quaker Question? QQanon?
I'm open to this theory, primarily because I believe it would have been very difficult for jews to subvert Hajnal White nations as thoroughly as they have without some help "from the inside".
"H1B abusers"
This rhetoric is damning of Trump's real intentions. The crisis facing us isn't the problem of "abusers" of the system. The crisis is the system ITSELF.
We should be going after the H1B program in its entirety, not just the abusers of it.
Same with immivasion. We should be deporting all of them, not just the "violent criminals".
The System must be repealed.
