If Mona Lisa were given a chance to redesign her portrait, how would she paint that smile? If Venus were offered the upper hand to recreate the image of her well-celebrated birth, how would she interpret and make known to man her oceanic and godly origins? If the girl in “The Girl With A Pearl Earring” saw her tronie 350 years later, would she be pleased that it was taken at an angle where she was caught off-guard?
