So many historic figures whose look we think we know. Did Jesus of Nazareth sport hippie hair & a halo? Perhaps, he did have quite long hair but not the tawny blonde of which so many "portraitists" seemed to be quite fond. The Shakespeare that we recognize is drawn from memory. Kings oft declared true depiction a form of treachery. Past commoners' appearances are lost in bygone days. We know Van Gogh from a mad mind, and know him thirty ways. Do you know whose look we do know? Every teen now alive. There're pics from every angle stored on redundant drives.
