    Would that be in a good or bad way I wonder?

    of course its in a good way,there is a mary figure who appears to be moving forward ,suggested by her posture and the subtle curves in the lower part of her garment ....i stared at that for a wee while.
    and many many more ..
    Of course there is a ton of propaganda involved,but I just ignored all that and appreciated the skill.
    the art is wonderful.

    Yes, the art is wonderful. Unfortunately, the reproduction in my book doesn't do it justice.
