Encyclopedia > Dramatic license

Artistic licence or license (US), also known as dramatic license/licence, is a colloquial term used to denote the liberties an artist may take in the name of art — for example, if an artist decided it was more artistically "correct" to portray St. Pauls Cathedral next to the Houses of Parliament in a scene of London, even though in reality they are not close together, or if he or she decided to depict a dinosaur chasing a Neanderthal (even though the two never coexisted), that would be artistic license. United States English, U.S. English, or American English is the form of the English language used mostly in the United States of America. ... For alternative meanings see St. ... This may refer to the: British Houses of Parliament. ... St Stevens Tower - The Clock Tower of the Palace of Westminster which contains Big Ben London (see also alternative names) is the capital city of the United Kingdom and of England. ... Orders Saurischia    Sauropodomorpha    Theropoda Ornithischia Dinosaurs are animals that dominated the terrestrial ecosystem for over 100-million years. ... Binomial name Homo neanderthalensis King, 1864 The Neanderthal or Neandertal was a species of genus Homo (Homo neanderthalensis) that inhabited Europe and parts of western Asia from about 230,000 to 29,000 years ago (the Middle Palaeolithic and Lower Paleolithic, in the Pleistocene epoch). ...


In summary, artistic license is:

  • Entirely at the artist's discretion
  • To be tolerated by the viewer
  • Neither "good" nor "bad"
  • Useful for filling in gaps, whether they be factual, compositional, historical or otherwise
  • Used consciously or unconsciously, intentionally or unintentionally or in tandem
