I wonder how much conversation there was about previous portraits? Did anyone even know they existed? Really, they were for the most part quite mediocre.
One of the aspects of art is to provoke thought and conversation, so I would suggest that these are the first portraits to do that...so they are a remarkable success.
It's funny how you start your post lamenting about there's a coversation about these portraits, then go on to say how awesome it is that these portraits provoke conversation. You also don't seem to like any part of the conversation that doesn't agree fully with you about the sheer awesomeness of these paintings. If you support the conversation the paintings provoke, you gotta be ok with people expressing thoughts about them you disagree with, instead you're almost defensive about it, as if you painted them yourself.
