Why people at the Middle Ages had a strange look in portraits?
One of the reasons people in portraits may look strange, or seem uncomfortable or angry is because they were having themselves painted. It's not like getting your picture taken, it took hours to do a portrait. It's understandable if the one being painted got impatient, or bored or angry. They were probably very tired and uncomfortable. Also many people when they got their selves painted wanted to look serious or sophisticated and smart, or had a certain look they wanted to come across so they were often painted deliberately that way. And sometimes it was just the style of the artist.

Freeman felt that since the purpose of the bridge was to cross a wide harbour which often saw some fairly wild weather, the arch shape would be the most stable. Originally, the bridge's designer, JCC Bradfield, proposed a suspension bridge, then a cantilever bridge, which was the first proposal accepted. After that, Bradfield turned his sights towards an arch bridge, after travelling overseas and seeing the developments in light steel which made a steel arch bridge such a possibility.
