Name That Portrait

I recognized two of the portraits in this wall of paintings as real portraits, so probably the rest are as well. Do you recognize any?

Portraits seem to be a thing right now. There was a giant wall of portraits of Ryan Speedo Green as Don Giovanni in the eponymous opera, in Santa Fe's production this summer. Presumably they have to be reconstructed for every new singer in the title role.
