Many ask themselves the question, what is a portrait anyway? Portrait is derived from the French and is understood as an image or a photograph of a person.
When cropping a portrait, the whole body, a bust, the head or just the face of the person is shown. The aim is to focus as much as possible on the face or the eyes of the model in order to express the personality. An example of a portrait would be a passport photo.
It is also a task to “stand in for” those who are not present or to keep a person’s memory. The portrait has received varying degrees of recognition throughout its development.

In the Middle Ages and Renaissance, there were very strict rules about how someone was to be portrayed according to his or her rank.

The main task of Renaissance art in the 14th, 15th and early 16th centuries was the depiction of religious, secular and mythological scenes as a message. Best suited for publication in huge murals as well as monumental sculptures.
The Mona Lisa is the most famous portrait of the Italian Renaissance, drawn by Leonardo Da Vinci at the age of 50.
The mercantile prosperity of the Italian city-states and a few northern European ports led to the artistic revival known as the Renaissance.
