Renaissance Oil Painting — Classical Portrait

Transform this photo into a RENAISSANCE OIL PAINTING in the style of the Old Masters.

**Person shown**: [describe yourself — you're about to become 16th century royalty]

Renaissance portrait style:
- Medium: oil on canvas, visible brushwork and canvas texture
- Lighting: Rembrandt/Caravaggio chiaroscuro — dramatic single light source
- 3/4 view face angle (the classic Renaissance portrait composition)
- Dark, almost black background (sfumato edges fading into darkness)

Subject treatment:
- Expression: serene, dignified, slightly enigmatic (Mona Lisa energy)
- Attire: upgrade to period-appropriate luxury — rich velvet, brocade, lace collar, jewels
- Hands: visible, elegantly posed (holding a book, resting on a chair, touching a pearl)
- Skin: luminous, porcelain quality with Rembrandt's signature warm undertones
- Hair: period-appropriate styling but recognizable

Artistic elements:
- Rich, warm palette: burnt umber, raw sienna, vermillion, gold, deep burgundy
- Visible impasto in highlights (thick paint catching light)
- Craquelure (fine age cracks) across the surface
- Slight darkening/yellowing of the varnish layer
- Museum-quality gold ornate frame around the image

Reference artists (blend these styles):
- Rembrandt: lighting and emotion
- Vermeer: luminous skin and fabric detail
- Titian: rich color and composition
- Holbein: precise detail and symbolic objects

Optional: include a symbolic object (memento mori skull, globe, book, flower) — Renaissance portraits always had meaning.
