Medieval Portraits Project

[Hengest]

We would like you all to help us by posting MEDIEVAL images of nobles, kings, princesses, artists and people in general here. What we are looking for is PORTRAITS, NOT full-body pictures.

We need a detailed and preferably hi-res picture so that we can give in-game characters actual medieval faces of medieval art.
Anything up to the year 1500 is acceptable, and possibly some paintings from just after that date.

Please use the 'spoiler' if posting lots of pics. Here are some examples of what we want:

Unfortunately Monthy they are not authentic medieval portraits so we cannot use them

[Bartolomeo XIII]

Do you need some ancillaries? I have more if you need them.

[Hengest]

We'd prefer to use authentic art for ancillaries too

Another catch! On the first portrait is Henry V.

[Markgraf von Schellenberg]

these are perhaps too simplistic, but authentic nonetheless

Giorgios: hi-res pictures

I made Muslim portraits for broken crescent mod 2 years ago, although they were good but I wasn't 100% satisfy about them, so I kept improving them I deleted many portraits and replaced them with new good ones. also the characters in the new portraits get old.
so I hope these new portraits will be exclusive to dominion:

We're good for European portraits now, just need Eastern European, Byzantine/Orthodox, Mongol and Muslim- especially princesses

It may be hard to find authentic Islamic art (especially for women) for Muslim factions just due to the Islamic tradition of how art is treated depecting living and human forms.

This may be suitable for Muslim factions though.
