Original: Give the name of the original painting, the original artist, and the year (must be between 1400-1799 CE). Give some context about why the painting was made or what it meant at the time, for the original subject and artist. Include at least one paragraph of description of the original painting, using vocabulary words that we’ve learned in class, as well as the image itself or a link to it.
Changes: would you like the painting reproduced exactly, with the original background? Would you wear the original clothing, or your own? Any other details or changes?
About you: most importantly, explain why you would choose this painting and other details? Explain how this new portrait would express your identity and values, and what it would show viewers about you.

This paper must include at least 3 credible sources; one should be the painting itself, as located in a museum or other collection today. These sources are to help you fully understand the painting you’e chosen, and provide historical context about the artist, the person depicted, and the painting itsef. These do not necessarily need to be peer-reviewed articles, but they should be trustworthy.
This is a personal essay about your opinion and thoughts. You should use “I”.
