Sentence Correction (SC) | Re: Thomas Eakins’ powerful style and his choices of subject—the advances

Hihazelnut ,

It is possible. We are comparing two things here:

1. What happened in the past
2. What is happening now.

Example, I am as intelligent as I was when I was 10 years old.

In the given sentence, we are basically saying the disturbing has not changed since Thomas Eakins' time.

Did you see the similar construction?

I hope that makes sense.
