/I decided I wanted to carry on the theme of a fine art essay with a fine art front cover. This is a Renaissance drawing I recreated originally drawn by the artist Rafael. I chose this because Rafael was a contemporary of Leonardo Da Vinci, they were friends. I wanted to make sure the timelines of the pieces of art were the same.
I also wanted to carry on with my theme of writing speech onto the artwork. So I concepted two lines of dialogue to write over the faces. I wanted the front cover to be about the truth and how the truth could be distorted so I wrote the one character asking “ARE YOU TELLING THE TRUTH” and the other responding, “YOU ARE HEARING THE TRUTH I’VE DECIDED ON”. I was inspired by the saying “There are always three sides of the truth,” his version, her version and the reality that no one will ever know. I thought this dialogue was a good excerpt for explaining how the truth can be distorted hearing it through someone else.
