Portrait of Charles I (1600–1649)
Anthony van Dyck, 1599–1641, painted 1600s or later
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.
A print of the scan itself, up to 16 × 24 inches from these 2,779 × 3,400 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 Anthony van Dyck (1599–1641), Portrait of Charles I (1600–1649), 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.
