Cover Story: As most of Da Vinci’s artworks depict young and beautiful women, this study investigates the ability of generative models to create human portraits in the style of Da Vinci across different social categorizations. We begin by evaluating vector representations in the latent space of the portraits to maximize the subject's preserved facial features and conclude that sparser vectors have a greater effect on key identity features. To objectively evaluate and quantify the trade-off between identity and style, this paper also presents the results of a survey of human feedback. The analysis of which showed a high tolerance for the loss of key identity features in the resulting portraits when the Da Vinci style is more pronounced, with some exceptions including African individuals.
