What happens after the portrait?

An animated extension of After the Portrait, my submission to the Recraft × Contra Archive Style Challenge.

Bronzino’s young man has always struck me as confident, slightly arrogant and unafraid of being seen. I imagined him stepping out of his formal portrait and into an evening of poetry, sharing, drinking and dancing with the boys—five centuries later.

This video adds movement to that world, keeping the painted surfaces, intimate atmosphere and blue glow of contemporary life.
