Hall of Fame

How much would it cost to commission a reasonably good painting of the historical figures who've been most positively influential in my life—friends and family notwithstanding? Those I've taken inspiration from in either their lives or works, or strived to be alike in many ways.

How many people could an artist fit into a large painting that would hang in a nice study somewhere? Regardless, here's the list in order of influence. The list by no means denote any personal expertise in these characters but merely strong influence in becoming the person I am today.
