Will it actually look like a real photo, and like Poggio a Caiano?

Yes on both. The output is photoreal — not a painting — and the velvet doublet, the hawk, and the pedimented loggia are built to read as the genuine Medici villa, not a generic Renaissance costume.

Is this a real photo of a historical Medici, or of me?

It's a portrait of you. The pack borrows the Medici villa's courtier register as a costume and visual reference; every frame is a portrait of you and doesn't depict any historical figure.

Is this pack part of a series?

Yes — this is one of Etiquette's royal court photoshoot series, portraits from the courts of Europe between 1450 and 1935. This pack is Etiquette's Italian entry: a Medici courtier's dress at the villa that invented the type.

Can women use this pack?

The hunting doublet and hawking styling are built for men and read male. Etiquette casts women elsewhere in the series, including in the same Italian courts.

Can I use this as a profile picture or on a dating app?

Yes — it's a striking, easy-going portrait that reads well on either. Used honestly, as a stylised AI photoshoot rather than a claim to be a historical figure, it works well on any profile.

Can I use it as a gift for a Medici or Renaissance-villa enthusiast?

Yes — the Pontormo loggia and the hawking dress read clearly to anyone who knows Poggio a Caiano, which makes it a legible gift for that audience specifically.

Will the photos look like me?

Every photo looks like you, well photographed. If one is nearly right, say what to change, in your own words.

Do I have to write a prompt?

No. There is nothing to write: you pick a pack, and it is ready in seconds.

How many photos of myself do I add?

Between six and twenty, from different days and in different light, with your face clear. We check each one when you add it.

What happens to the photos I add?

They are used only to create your model, on our own servers in the European Union. They are not shared and not sold.

The Medici at Poggio a Caiano register

This pack is built around the grand-ducal villa at Poggio a Caiano — the pedimented loggia, the Pontormo frescoes of Vertumnus and Pomona, the citrus in tubs, the hunt in the walled park, the court's summer. The value is a Medici courtier's dress at the Renaissance villa that invented the type itself.

Photographically the register is a doublet of dark red or black velvet with slashed sleeves and a small ruff, a short cloak, a flat cap with a jewel, hose and boots for the hunt, a hawk on the fist. Palette: red, black, gold, terracotta, citrus green.

Three genuine facets carry the pack: the loggia under the frescoed lunette, a hooded hawk on the glove; the great curved staircase before the hunt, boots and a horn on a baldric; a long table under a vine pergola, a glass raised at the end of the day. The output is photoreal — a photograph of you in that world, not a copy of any Renaissance fresco, and it makes no claim to depict any historical figure.

How to photograph yourself for a Medici at Poggio a Caiano photoshoot

Better source photos make better portraits.

Even, soft lightStand near a window with indirect daylight on your face. The pack adds its own warm villa light later; a flat, well-lit selfie gives it the clearest face to build from.
Front or three-quarter angleCamera at eye level, facing it or turned slightly to three-quarter. No selfie-stick uplook, no shot from below.
Face fully clearHair off the face, no hats or filters in the source photo. A clear, front-facing photo is the best input for an AI portrait.
An easy, proprietary expressionThis register favors relaxed pleasure over a formal stare — a warm, easy smile in your source photo blends more naturally into the loggia and staircase frames.
Plain background is fineThe loggia, the staircase, and the pergola replace your own backdrop entirely. A plain wall behind you just helps the model focus on your face.

About narcis

Most AI photo tools put every pose, job, era, and style in one giant catalog. The photos all look like every other AI photo on the internet — a glaze over a stock face. Narcis goes the other way. One job: photos of you that look like photographs. You add at least 6 photos of yourself, and we create your AI model from them. Your photos are ready in a few hours, and we email you when they are. Then this pack and every other pack on Narcis can be made with your face. Each pack is curated against real references — paintings, photographers, places — and tested on real faces before it goes live. Built and run by one small team, on our own servers.

All images are AI-generated. By using this service, you confirm you are 18+, that any face photo you upload is your own or used with explicit consent. Full Terms
