Meme!

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...

Oh Hells yeah. There are times that I wish that was today's standard of beauty too!! So much easier to eat your way into that!!! :)

It's true. I love Rubens paintings because I feel more beautiful every time I look at them...

Oooh, interesting meme. Too bad I can hardly remember anything other than the most obvious in my art class. Then again, that was a few years ago. *sigh*

And like you, from what I see, I also like realism paintings.

I'm definitely all about the realism - though I also like the abstract hyper-realism of some of the 20th century painters.
