Is this a typo?

Post by pdh0224 »

Dear teacher,

The figures are painted behind a parapet. "This is the first illusionistic parapet in European art," he said. "When you think of all those famous images by Bellini or the common Renaissance Madonna, theirs is an illusionistic parapet that serves as a go-between so that you pass from the world we inhabit into the fictional world of the artist.''


Q : I think "there" is correct word in the sentence.



All the best,

No, it means 'their parapet' and refers to the figures.
