30 Celebrities Recreated As If They Were In Classical Paintings, By Digital Artist Kyès

People actually love seeing themself in pictures for a very long time ago. Nowadays, we can easily take a selfie thanks to smartphones. But have you ever wondered how people took selfies in the past? People from the upper class often hired an artist to bring them into portraits, and it cost a fortune to commission a painting.
Still, there’re millions of cheaper and faster ways to immortalize one’s image now. It's no doubt that the King and Queen would save a lot of money if they lived in this era. So it’s an interesting idea that we recreate some celebrities as if they were in classical paintings. Because they are all celebrities in general definition, we believe there’s no huge difference between them. Indeed, the results are just incredible!
Kyès is an expert in using the style of French 17th-18th century paintings to reimagine what today's celebrities would look like if they lived back in the day. Let’s scroll down and check them out!
