Как вышло, что английские слова "художник" и "журнал" в русском языке имеют значение "артист" и "мазазин"?

magazine - from M.Fr. magasin "warehouse, depot, store," from It. magazzino, from Ar. makhazin, pl. of makhzan "storehouse," from khazana "to store up." The original sense is almost obsolete; meaning "periodical journal" dates from the publication of the first one, "Gentleman's Magazine," in 1731, from earlier use of the word for a printed list of military stores and information.
