You work incessantly on your skills. You travel the Empire studying the work of other painters. Finally, after many years, you create your greatest painting. When you finish it you decide that only the Emperor is worthy of it so you travel to the Imperial City and present it to him. The Emperor is awestruck by its beauty, calls it the jewel of the Empire, and says that it must be the centerpiece of the throne room. He has all of the decor of the throne room redone to complement it.
