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 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.

Load More Replies...Both girls are thinking "How much longer do I have to stand still like this?"
there is loads of paintings of her on the internet - Las Malinas? - all by Velasquez - court painter

I often wonder how the hell women and girls walked in those ridiculous dresses!
Original - Diego Velasquez 1656 - Infanta Theresa Maria of Spain. Here is something else they made that poor child wear to get painted in margarita-...c347ef.jpg

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??
Me trying to look somewhere else after seeing an acquaintance in public.
These were all amazing. While I loved the joke pictures, I absolutely loved the proper recreations. They were so... real. I'm f****n inspired right now. (Side note: where I am, it's now 11:49pm on the 31st of December. And HOLY S**T. It's almost the New Year. The fireworks are booming, my dog is barking and the drunk a*s neighbors have a f*****g microphone sound system. That's one way to start 2019. 😑) Wish me luck, bitches.
If these are all famous artworks, it just goes to show how much I do not know my art.
These are amazing pictures and absolutely GORGEOUS originals! At this late date, it shows me that art can be as remarkably beautiful as nature and evoke considerable mood. The author has an incredible eye for true fine art. So impressed!
I really enjoyed these. While I'm by no means an art expert I gotta say some of those famous art works were butt ugly.
