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 is here to paint after: give us your own line and the painters take its brushwork, its palette and its light, and none of its subject.

A print of the painting itself, up to 20 × 30 inches. Nothing larger, because it would arrive soft.

Painting after it
The painters take its handling, its surface and its light. Your line, or your photograph, stays the subject.
The credit
Every painting made after 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 credit travels with it everywhere we show it, and it is never enlarged.
