Sure, why not? You could probably even tap into some HEMA stuff along with Early Modern philosophy for your System©

Interesting. Personally, I think the typeface you used looks amateurish and the low res image doesn't help. If a traditional roman font is too staid, maybe a flared serif like Marcellus could be a good way to express some modernity while still being genre-appropriate. If you're absolutely set on a sans serif typeface, there are still better options but I'm not sure how well they'd go with a renaissance era painting
also, all caps generally look better with wider tracking (the space between letters)

this isn't a problem — your title can live there. Layout is a different issue anyway
