Setanta
Are you referring to the 'Antwerp mannerists'?
(However, since they worked 100 earlier then you mentioned and had different themes ...)
No Valter, i'm referring to the Dutch Mannerists, such as Jan Steen . . . and many others . . .
I'd go get you a link, but i'm too damned lazy, can't be arsed . . .

A horse may run into a burning barn (or not leave one willingly) but it is said they are fearful & craving the security of their stall. Fire Marshall rules here require that all horses in public barns have individual halters & lead ropes at each stall in case of fire.
Typical fight or flight response.
I've always wondered if horses could think in abstract terms. They clearly do feel loss and depression so I do not see why not but in what construct I guess we may never know.
I heard, as a kid, about arctic dogs and wolves who'd go off into the snow when they got old (and maybe sick?) to die.
Setanta got to the whale beaching theroy before I. Whales have been beaching on cape cod since before sonar. The sonar probably makes it happen, but there are other reasons. And no one really knows what they are.
Maybe the whales are men and won't ask for directions.
Cetaceans are mammals. Maybe there's some genetic/instinctive memory of having lived on land?
Hey, if Oprah and Rosie can do it....
