PORTRAITS COLORING PAGES
The portrait is a representation of a person according to its real appearance.
The portrait an artist makes himself is called a self-portrait.
The term properly refers to a work of art (painting, sculpture, drawing, photography or even, by extension, a literary description) and in some ways limits the artist's creative possibilities, in order to maintain relevance with the subject from life: perhaps for this reason some artists would not ever adjust to portrait (as Michelangelo).
In fact the picture is never a mere mechanical reproduction of features (like a wax mask modeled on a face or any photographic impression) but there still comes into play, to be defined as such, the sensitivity of the artist who interprets the features according to his taste and according to the characteristics of the art of time in which it operates.
There were artists who practised widely and almost exclusive portrait and whole civilizations that refused the picture, such as "figure fared from natural" (as the archaic and classical Greek art).
The presence or absence of a physiognomic trait in certain civilizations portrait (which also owned sufficient to produce artistic means) is not a simple matter of taste toward one or the other form of art, but you come into play mental and ideological conditions reflected in developments and conditions of society where artists worked.
