Not even close to the only problems with the painting-- such as the clothing and
the technology show is contemporary to the time of the artist who painted it, no
to the period being painted.  The clothes are wrong, the bridge is wrong, the
ships are wrong (and that's just from my memory of seeing it a day or two ago).

Of course, the same is true of most other art of the period.
