Introduction: Briefly introduce the idea of individuality in Renaissance, and how this came to the proliferation of portraits. Explain that Alberti not created a self-portrait, but wrote an important treatise De Pictura that introduced some of the main ideas prevalent to artists at the time 'idealisation and selection' (150words)
First paragraph: More 'context'. Talk about Renaissance life, the 'display' culture, and the heightened status of the artist as a result of this. (300 words)
Second paragraph: Alberti's context. This is important in order to refer back to why he produced such an image of himself. (300 words)
Third paragraph: Individuality. Talk about the fact that he produced a 'true-likeness' of himself, but that this was also an ideal image of himself. Refer here to Matteo de' Pasti's medallic portrait of Alberti, and the differences in notions of 'nobility' present. (300 words)
Fourth paragraph: Civil identity and status. Talk about the symbol under his chin (the winged eye) and reference this back to Alberti's notion

Why are you so good to me? I don't deserve it. Really. I don't. Thank you so much, for everything you've done. I'm the one who should be helping you get everything done! Not the other way round. You're wonderful! WONDERFUL!
