How did you select the five artists who appear in this collection?

I wanted to choose five stories that really could communicate what we’re trying to achieve with the entire collaboration. So we chose Rubens’ The Tiger Hunt, which is quite powerful and moving. We have the Mona Lisa by Leonardo. We have Fragonard’s Girl with Dog, we have Titian’s Mars, Venus and Cupid, and we have Van Gogh’s A Wheatfield with Cypresses. We tried to choose works that would fully communicate the parameters of the project, by having landscape but also dynamic paintings, Baroque paintings but also intimate paintings about love. Really, the breadth of the canon of art history from a present-day point of view. And you have the connections right there in artists linking with each other — like Rubens’ Tiger Hunt, which is based on Leonardo’s Battle of Anghiari. You have all these different levels of intimacy and emotion taking place, and everybody’s interconnected. I like to think of it as part of my own DNA.
