What is a Renaissance portrait?
The Renaissance was a period of renewed interest in ancient art and learning that began in Italy in the 14th century. Renaissance portrait painters showed sitters in a calm three-quarter view, often before a distant landscape, and used soft gradual shading, called sfumato, to model the face. A Renaissance painting filter recreates that style from a modern photo; it is not a copy of any existing painting.

What does the Renaissance portrait look like?
The Renaissance portrait follows Italian painting around 1500: a three-quarter view with a calm, subtle expression, deep velvet and fine linen clothing with a simple period headpiece, hands folded on a stone ledge, a soft hazy landscape of hills, a river and distant trees, and oil on wood panel with smooth glazes, sfumato shading and fine craquelure. The face, skin tone, hair color and age stay yours.
