ESSAY QUESTION [can either do as a take-home, due at time of exam, or write in class] [30 points]

“An Early Modern Portrait of Myself”

Imagine a portrait done of yourself, but based on conventions (i.e. traditional modes of representation) that we’ve discussed in the course. Don’t limit yourself

to the last third of the course, this can encompass everything we’ve seen. What artist would you have represent you, and why? What type of portrait (i.e.,with others?

Format? Pose? ) Symbolism? Setting? Role-playing? And anything else that is relevant. Please EXPLAIN why you would want these elements

(they should reveal something about who you are, here and now), use appropriate terminology, and refer to specific works of art to help explain your choices.
