Some years ago portrait artist Rafael del Casal was chosen to do the painting of Aeneas carrying Anchises for the movie Ang Larawan, the musical version of National Artist Nick Joaquin's Portrait of the Artist as Filipino. For some reason the producers did not like the painting, and it was kept mostly defocused in the background. Rafael was perplexed and quite offended by this.

I never bothered to inquire, but it is possible that the producers felt that Rafael's rendition of Lorenzo el magnifico's painting in his classical, realist style was inappropriate to the material. Lorenzo el magnifico was a rebel and an outcast among his peers. Braque, Matisse, and Picasso were already deconstructing realist images elsewhere in the world--so, then, must have Lorenzo el magnifico.
