IV. Notes:
A. The portrait is the direct representation of MAN through time so studying the portrait is to study man.
B. The tradition of portraying people with individualized features was of Roman origin, but apparently that came to a halt in the 6th century. However, the idea of representing a true likeness was taken up again in medieval sculpture and painting. (51, Baragli) [figures typically placed in religious settings with Saints]
