I dig this Meme concocted by
nekomata...
If you could have yourself inserted into a famous painting, as an act of pure narcissism, which painting would you choose?
For me, it'd definitely be something by Rubens, because he painted girls shaped a lot like me (small breasts, chubby in the belly, wide hips)...picking a specific one is pretty hard - the one I want to pick is this portrait of Rubens, his wife and child, but that feels a little creepy...maybe A Roman Triumph...it's just tough cause so many of his paintings are of classical or biblical stories...so maybe the Meme I'm really answering is "which artist would I want to paint my portrait."
Alternatively, Lucretia, by Rembrandt...
