Gifted Artist Reimagined Disney Characters As Famous Classical Paintings

Margot Nolan

Many students easily get bored when studying art history because this subject is often about the past that doesn't sound relatable to our modern life. Sometimes it is very abstract and our teachers often give many praises about it that seem to be an exaggeration. For example, to highlight the beauty and value of history paintings, teachers tend to write a thousand-word essay about them while what we see are just the old paintings.
But no one can deny their enormous benefits to history. In addition to broadening our knowledge about our origin and culture, there are many interesting things to explore in the study of the past. So, it's really important to find out the solution for this issue. How to make people interested in this boring but very critical subject? A gifted artist named Carlos Gromo has given us a suggestion, a brilliant and creative one!
The popularity of Disney is indisputable. Cartoon movies, especially Disney's are considered a beloved part of everyone's childhood. Understanding it, Carlos came up with a brilliant idea to combine famous paintings and Disney characters to help people to memorize these classics better. Let's scroll down and see how great his artwork is!
