If you’re a huge fan of Renaissance art, you should definitely take a trip to Florence, Naples or Rome. There are many museums and churches in each city that are filled with stunning paintings and sculptures that perfectly encapsulate this era of rebirth.

But we can’t all hop on a plane to Italy just to see some artwork, as tempting as it may sound. So if you’re interested in seeing a modern take on the same style of artwork, you’ve come to the right place. We took a trip to the Accidental Renaissance subreddit and gathered some of their most captivating photos below. Enjoy scrolling through this virtual art gallery, and keep reading to find a conversation with Stephanie Storey, bestselling author of Oil and Marble: A Novel of Leonardo and Michelangelo and Raphael, Painter in Rome!
