renaissance portraits are most often photographic quality, so they are indeed reliable in many cases: think of the portrait of Pero della francesca depicting the Duke of Urbino. The very same portrait shows an etruscan looking duke featuring the non nordic visage of a central italian farmer. See Immagine:Federico da Montefeltro.jpg - Wikipedia
