| What I Did: | I took the face of the lady in "Lady with an Ermin" and substituted it with my own. |
| I intended this work to: | The image that I created is different from the original image in the fact that the woman in the image (me) is smiling outright instead of looking somber or slightly smiling at the edges of her mouth. It seems as though in the period of time that the original painting was made it was not correct to smile or laugh (or it may have simply been Da Vinci’s style) because in none of his paintings did I find anyone smiling as evidently as I am in the recreated version. Therefore, in my opinion, this shows the change in society from that period of time to now. To properly conduct yourself socially it was not proper to smile or laugh (it would seem to me) because no one wanted pictures of themselves doing either of these things. Now a day in which you have not laughed loud enough to tell the room something funny had happened is a day wasted. |
