Even though all the pieces are not Tudor art, I respect the time and care of portraying inspiration onto film. I can say from an artists perspective respecting your orginal moment the Muse strikes you, that inspiration is key in making the whole piece come together. With the proper attempts that the costume and the cinematography departments took they look fairly accurate to the orginals. It is a feat for the eyes just like the orginal works, bra va!
