One of my favorite moments in this book that brought this concept to light for me, is when Severian describes a painting of a knight in a desert wearing a featureless orange helm. It's a painting of an astronaut on the moon.

Or, even more in the spirit of the GP, is it a photograph that Severian calls a painting because he's never seen a photograph?
