Dear Florian,

in addition to the comments made by others, which makes a lot of sense too, I 
would offer the additional perspective that the resulting 3D model (with the 
added canvas) can be seen as a collage of the source 3D model and a digital 
reproduction of the photography / painting — thus as a work is the bringing 
together, based on certain rules and principles, of two works. 

I think this adds a different perspective than some of the others mentioned. 
Which perspectives to focus on when modelling such processes is a pragmatic 
choice. 

All the best,

Øyvind
