Ever since last December, people have been entertaining themselves by participating in an open community project called "Take a photo of the Rembrandt type".

The project’s feed on Vk.com already has more than 300 submissions, featuring people’s best attempts at replicating famous works of Classic Art. The best part is, it’s not just limited to Rembrandt’s art! Some of the entrants manage to reproduce the atmosphere of the masterpieces with meticulous detail, and many use humor as well.

Scroll down the page and take a look at the best attempts of finding or creating a likeness between art and reality!

I didn't think cats like the one in the painting existed and they just had never seen a cat when they painted it, but I guess I was wrong

I didn't know that recreating paintings was such a big thing, much less that someone would go to so much effort to make the dress. And, one presumes, more outfits for their studio. Interesting gimmick/theme for the studio, though.

This is fascinating because that woman is clearly not attempting to recreate the painting. If she were, she would not be wearing the several necklaces, she would not be sitting beside those leaves, and most likely she would have her hand in the image. So who randomly had a photograph of a woman in a fancy dress with such a similar face and hair??

Also gonna comment on the POST since that's what we're supposed to be HERE FOR. I think she nailed the facial expression, but I gotta ask: what do you do with the custom background now that the photoshoot is over? Is this a thing photo studios provide now? Lol.
