during a summer vacation I insisted that we draw live models in my high school art class but we had to be the models. It was extremely difficult. Most of the models we had in Art School were actors and dancers. The dancers were the best since they could really hold the poses well. I have the feeling that Caravaggio's models didn't earn much less than they do today.
