A masterwork The Cleveland Museum of Art

Virgin and Child with the Young Saint John the Baptist

Sandro Botticelli, 1444–1510, painted c. 1490

Held by The Cleveland Museum of Art and released as CC0 (Cleveland Museum of Art Open Access). It hangs here as a reference for a hand: paint your own line and the painters copy its brushwork, its palette and its light, and none of its subject.

Paint in this styleHang a print

A print of the scan itself, up to 20 × 30 inches from these 3,400 × 3,396 pixels. Nothing larger, because it would arrive soft.

What a seed does
The painting is the instruction. The painters take its handling, its surface and its light. Your line, or your photograph, is the only subject.
The credit
Every painting seeded from it carries “after Sandro Botticelli (1444–1510), Virgin and Child with the Young Saint John the Baptist, The Cleveland Museum of Art” on its plaque, and on the share page.
The licence
CC0 (Cleveland Museum of Art Open Access), as the museum states it. The scan is served with that credit in its headers, and it is never upscaled.
