Ever since the FaceApp was launched in January of 2017, people can't get enough of it. This app uses AI to generate realistic transformations of people's selfies by adding makeup, glasses, smiles, and so much more. Recently, it went viral for its new features that make people look younger, older and it also changes gender.
This time, we prepared a treat for all the classical art fans out there. In case it also bothers you that very few of the greatest paintings have smiling faces, we fixed it using FaceApp. Here's a list of some of the most famous classical paintings with a smile on each of the serious character's faces!

Hold on a minute now, blackish and highly discolored teeth would have been more accurate. She ate s**t tons of the newly discovered sugar and had terrible teeth but it was the height of fashion. Other ladies would charcoal their own teeth to mimic this, true horror story.
Brandy Grote 6 years ago
She didn't have much to smile about. She had a rough youth, and was head of a huge empire at a time when women weren't often able to do that. Respect.

This is cool. He probably did smile and laugh, when he wasn't being a "magnificent bastard".
c Fuller 6 years ago
he had a lance break off inside his thigh when jousting, leaving wood fragments behind, as well as crushing tissue and maybe nicking the bone, and was desperately ill for months and barely survived it. it continued to suppurate and fester the rest of his life. it must have been excruciating.

So, I'm happy being tortured! This one is terrible. I'm not even particularly religious. Hate this one. Downvote me all you want.

Makes Jesus look drugged, particularly in light of the thorn crown... (I guess many will find this offensive.)
Daria B 6 years ago
Your comment is not offensive. But the modified painting might feel offensive to many for the exact reason you specified.

It's like what we called "Ngiting Aso" direct translation as "Dog's Smile". A smile that was forcefully done or not genuine enough to convince others.

You're assuming that all of these people have perfect teeth...and almost all of them probably didn't. In fact MOST of them had missing, rotting, or crooked teeth that would make someone in this time period cringe.
BusLady 6 years ago
By today's standards, people are expected to have perfect teeth. We are supposed to feel ashamed if we don't have great teeth.

Sometimes hilarious is a great exageration, with some of their articles.

It's very interesting, fun and well done. It made me think about all our pics smiling today and what a lot of other expression we're missing. Maybe in the future someone will give faces to our smiles, like coloring w/b pics. And, what can be think about us and our culture/society? Etrusquian smiles were nice and fun, but they may turn creepy in this century.
Gail Huddleston 6 years ago
In almost all of the portraits, I felt as though the fake smiles greatly diminished the character of the individuals in the portraits.
Eliyahu Rooff 6 years ago
It was fascinating to see how much more contemporary the portraits looked with a big smile on them.
