My self portrait is based on Da Vinci's famous drawing. I stuck to the renaissance style in the sense that it is based on Da Vinci's drawing of a man and whatever anatomical study he was doing. The portrait represents me because it is a thin male figure and the words are lyrics to one of my favorite songs (Disorder by Will Oldham). I exaggerated the figure slightly to further represent my style and my personal views of myself. (and that isn't what Leonardo did, but I thought it was acceptable because of other renaissance paintings that portrayed figures in impossible/improbable poses.) So this portrait is technically more of an unfinished expressionist piece than it is a renaissance piece. Oh well.
