A Duke for morrelli

Aug 24, 2008 16:43

Dear Skater girl, I hope you don't mind me posting a new art manip as a birthday present for you! Come on, I know you like Johnny Depp too! ;-)

So here is Mr. Depp as George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham:



George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham (28 August 1592 - 23 August 1628) was the favourite, claimed by some to be the lover of King James I of England,[1] and one of the most rewarded royal courtiers in all history.

There's a Wikipedia entry about him which also features Peter Paul Rubens' original 1625 portrait of Monsieur Villiers.

The Duke was indeed of good looks; maybe the similarity between his and Johnny Depp's beauty would have been better recognisable had I used a picture of Johnny where he shows more thoughtfulness... but instead I decided on using a happy expression to underline the baroque lust for life - and as a result he looks like one the Three Musketeers, don't you think? Quite a lusty guy.

Happy Birthday, Skater girl! May the new year in your life be filled with happiness and health!
*hugs*
