I Tried To Find Out What These 30 Historical Figures Would Look Like In Modern Times Using The Help Of AI (New Pics)
Digital art done by artificial intelligence is becoming a widespread and trendy phenomenon, and as many more people flock to it, the technology progresses exponentially. Because of this, the recreations done by AI get better in quality: recreations done a year ago are nothing like the ones done recently, and you'll quickly see it for yourselves.
It's my third iteration of AI portraits in this theme. It's always interesting to think that many of us look like someone in the past. In the beginning, when I only started recreating these famous historical personalities, I noted that they don't look all that different from regular people, so I decided to accentuate it by framing it as a modern portrait. The things that followed next are history, and an archived history at that, one which you can check out in the links here, and here.

Dido Elizabeth Belle
Daughter of a slave with a member of the aristocracy, the young woman may have influenced the debate on the end of slavery.
Her story was portrayed in the movie, Belle, starring Gugu-Mbatha Raw and Matthew Goode.
So good! I don't know if you want input, but... I think the digital version's nose is a little bit too slim and too upturned, and I wonder why her eyes are greyish and her eyebrows a completely different shape. But really, GOOD JOB! The expression is perfect, and she looks 100% real. I'm extremely impressed.
Probably because you're a racist homophobic scumbag that uses Facebook proof to prove your point that gay marriage shouldn't be allowed and vaccines should be illegal. (Check this person's post history, they literally called someone the f slur and the r slur and said they hoped they were beaten)

Maria Quitéria, The Brazilian Heroine
In its struggle for independence from Portugal, Brazil recognized the invaluable fighting force of a woman. Maria Quitéria was a real-life Mulan (which may have been real, but not as well documented). Her stories varied in the sense that Quitéria fought for the love of her country over the vehement objections of her father, who controlled her life until the choice of a spouse. She grew up working in hunting shooting, encouraged by her mother, who died when Quitéria was still young. To fight the rebel leader Dom Pedro, Quitéria fled her home in 1822 and enlisted in the Brazilian army accompanied by her brother-in-law, wearing one of her old uniforms.
Quitéria assumed the identity of a young male soldier and rose through the ranks for his shooting skills. Things came to a head when her father found her and insisted that her superior officer send her home. Instead, the major refused to let her go, because her skills were too valuable! Unmasked, Quitéria became the first woman to officially serve in the Brazilian army. The army's trust in her also paid off.
Beau portrait, mais la bouche est différente : le coin des lèvres est remontant sur le modèle et retombant sur la copie.
Michelangelo
Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni was born on March 6, 1475 in Caprese, Republic of Florence and died on February 18, 1564, in Rome.
He was an Italian Renaissance sculptor, painter, architect and poet who exerted an unparalleled influence on the development of Western art.
The artist was considered the greatest living professional of his time, and since then he has been regarded as one of the greatest artists of all time. Several of his works in painting, sculpture and architecture are among the most famous in existence.
He looks like the kinda guy who'd be sat feeding the ducks and I'd totally wanna go talk to him because I bet he has all kinds of stories. (but also i have anxiety even in a fictional setting lmao)
This doesn’t look like him, the painting has him with a longer face and the eyes look brown not blue
He wanted to be an architect but was so brilliant at painting and sculpting that was where all the jobs were.
Cheekbones not high enough.nose bridge b eeds to be narrower high up,eyes need to bedarker.
Victoria, Princess Royal Of The United Kingdom
Victoria Adelaide Marie Louise was Princess Royal of Great Britain and Ireland, eldest daughter of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.
Yes there are and she doesn’t look anything like this “ photo”
Load More Replies...She's pretty, and looks quite like her counterpart, but there are photos of her and she was a brunette
When it comes to Victoria’s mother, Queen Victoria, her great great great great granddaughter, Beatrice, looks the most like her (hope I got the number of “greats” right).
Hadrian
Hadrian (Roman Emperor) (76-138) was the third Roman emperor, of the Antonine Dynasty, who ruled between the years 117 and 138 and marked the apogee of the Roman Empire.
Hadrian (Publios Aelius Hadrianus) was born in Italica (Bética), today in Spain, on January 24, 76. Belonging to the Antonine dynasty, he was the nephew of Emperor Trajan. He was a literate man, a lover of the arts and the law.
Read Marguerite Yourcenar's famous book, les Mémoires d'Hadrien. Such a vivid recreation of an ancient spirit.
The Birth Of Venus
The Birth of Venus is a painting by Sandro Botticelli, commissioned by Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco de Medici for the Villa Medicea di Castello. It is tempera on canvas and measures 172.5 cm high by 278.5 cm wide.
We have reached the uncanny valley here. Her eyes look disproportionately large for her face.
The inspiration was Simonetta Vespucci: I don’t say “model” because she had passed years before Botticelli painted The Birth of Venus, hence her features’ idealisation.
I dare to guess that real Simonetta looked better than her digital "twin". After all she was considered the most beautiful woman of Florence. Of course beauty standards of renaissance were different from today's beauty standards - that's something that needs to be keep in mind.
The " historical figures" obviously includes paintings and sculptures,what the people would look like. Goddess Demeter is below this. Some of these people probably didn't exist but their depictions are historical
Load More Replies...Goddess Demeter
Demeter is the Greek goddess of harvest, fertility, cultivated land, sacred right and holds the cycle of life and death.
Malheureusement, ni les yeux, ni la racine du nez ni les sourcils n'y sont (à mon avis) et la bouche est un peu grande.
It looks like she is wearing the same studs on each ear,but a gold hoop on just one

According to the Bible David was red-haired, of short stature and his hair was red as the color of fire.
I consider myself a fairly educated person. I read, I’ve studied, I’ve even seen the statue of David. Until this moment, I had never actually realized that the statue was of the Biblical David. I always assumed it was just of some guy. Named David.
This is the most accurate AI I've ever seen, maybe because the source was a statue and not a painting.
I have spent a lot of time studying his face in art class, and never had I once imaged he looked like this, there’s something off with his face, but I don’t know what it is (no, not the red hair before anyone says anything).
It's the jowls. The whole shape of the face is subtly different, rounder than the sculpture.
Load More Replies...Greek Historian Herodotus
Herodotus was a Greek writer and geographer credited with being the first historian. Sometime around the year 425 B.C., Herodotus published his magnum opus: a long account of the Greco-Persian Wars that he called “The Histories.” (The Greek word “historie” means “inquiry.”) Before Herodotus, no writer had ever made such a systematic, thorough study of the past or tried to explain the cause-and-effect of its events. After Herodotus, historical analysis became an indispensable part of intellectual and political life. Scholars have been following in Herodotus’ footsteps for 2,500 years.
Wasn't he the guy who just made a bunch of s**t up and decided that was how history works? Never mind cause and effect
Lucius Verus
Lucius Verus was co-emperor, with Marcus Aurelius, of the Roman Empire as Augustus, until 169, when he died of plague during a campaign against the Parthians.
*malfoy, draco malfoy* *You think my names funny do you? no need to ask yours* *red hair, and a hand-me-down robe? must be a weasley*
The statue actually looks more like Ashton Kutcher with a beard and curly hair, not so much like the AI Photo.
I thought he had a gold earring in his left ear ... dont know why, but he should have one
Hercules
Hercules or Heracles was a hero of Greek mythology known for his great strength. He was the son of Zeus and Alcmene. His first wife and children were murdered by himself when he had a fit of madness caused by Hera.
Erm, that doesn’t look like Hercules, that’s the guy from IT who used to play rugby at the weekends, but has since hurt his knee, and his first question is always “have you switched it on and off again?”.
And his name is Craig or something
Load More Replies...I believe that Hercules was roman and Heracles was Greek (they said both were Greek (or I misunderstood))
Yep, Heracles is his Greek name and Hercules is his roman name. He is originally from Greek mythology

Load More Replies...Mary, Queen Of Scots
Mary Stuart was Queen of Scots in the 16th century. She competed with Elizabeth I for the throne of England and was executed for conspiring against the English queen.
A whole load of history and politics has been glossed over here! Mary fled Scotland and sought refuge in England with her cousin (once removed) Elizabeth. Instead of refuge, Mary was imprisoned for 19 years. I think that I'd be inclined to engage in a little bit of conspiring after I'd been imprisoned for 19 years! Elizabeth was worried Mary would succeed to her throne. Instead it was Mary's son James who became King of Scots, and King of England.
Well you are glossing over a lot too. And she appointed James to be her successor.

Well, you don’t have to tell me twice. Also been to Holyrood Palace and saw where Rizzio would have been murdered in her bed chamber but no creepy feelings there.
Ok. So she looks exactly like Saoirse Ronan who, by the way, played Mary Stuart in "Mary Queen of Scots".
Monty Python: "Are you, Mary, queen of Scots?" ... ... "I am." (Violent noises ensue) ... ... "I think she's dead" ... ... (Mary) "No, I'm not" ... ... (More violent noises ensue).
They're just trying to give a little bit of History they're not making a five page paper off of her
The Real Pocahontas
We all think we know Pocahontas, but her real story is very different from the popular image. Pocahontas was an extremely talented and lively 10-year-old girl when Jamestown was founded in 1607. She was the daughter of the Great Powhatan, who ruled over numerous client tribes in the Chesapeake, the region the Powhatans called Tsenacomaca, and he selected her for a special role because of her intelligence and personality. Captain John Smith said her “wit, and spirit” made her stand out.
The real Pocahontas was kidnapped and raped by colonists that's the true story just like thanksgiving was actually a slaughter of my ancestors get your s**t right if your going to write stories Its 2022 and us natives are still fighting for our rights
Pocahontas was captured and held for ransom by English colonists during hostilities in 1613. During her captivity, she was encouraged to convert to Christianity and was baptized under the name Rebecca. She married tobacco planter John Rolfe in April 1614 at the age of about 17 or 18, and she bore their son Thomas Rolfe in January 1615.[1] In 1616, the Rolfes travelled to London where Pocahontas was presented to English society as an example of the "civilized savage" in hopes of stimulating investment in the Jamestown settlement. On this trip she may have met Squanto, a "Patuxet Native American" from New England.[5] She became something of a celebrity, was elegantly fêted, and attended a masque at Whitehall Palace. In 1617, the Rolfes set sail for Virginia; Pocahontas died at Gravesend of unknown causes, aged 20 or 21. She was buried in St George's Church, Gravesend, in England; her grave's exact location is unknown because the church was rebuilt after being destroyed by a fire.[1]
Load More Replies...For the people in the comments pointing out things like she was cross-eyed or she was bald it's an AI it's not not always going to be physically correct it's a machine.
So did this sophisticated AI algorithm not pick up the face that she has one eye on the artist and the other on the jealous, pilgrim women conspiring to eradicate her people. It's a lazy eye, not an uninformed one okay.
The "real person" A.I photo ,she looks a lot more East Indian to me than Native American.
If the picture on the left is Pocahontas, then the picture on the right doesn't do justice. The one on the left would scare me but not the one on the right.
Always disliked the artwork piece. Makes her look like a man in women's regalia. The computer image seems to make her look like she from India.
Mestizo
“Mestizo” from 1934 painted in oil on canvas by the famous Brazilian painter Candido Portinari. In the painting, the artist shows a character in a coffee plantation, working in the field.
It looks like his scalp is leaning left a tad. I think the AI miscalculated cause of his hair style. lol
The original photo shows bro with no more than a twohead, In the second photo he has a full forehead.
Très belle ressemblance, c'est impressionnant!!!! (juste l'implantation des cheveux diffère, mais ce n'est qu'un détail!)
Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) was the third president of the United States, serving two terms between 1801 and 1809. He was the drafter of the text of the Declaration of Independence.

Akhenaten
He was a Pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt who reigned for seventeen years and died in 1336 or 1334 BC.
Barbara Mertz (an Egyptologist) wrote in 2011: "Egyptian civilization was not Mediterranean or African, Semitic or Hamitic, black or white, but all of them. It was, in short, Egyptian." So, from all I've read and learned, Egyptians can range from light skin to dark skin as they have all races in them. More power to them!
Load More Replies...Stop downvoting @Niflheim Der user, because he is right! Egyptians were and are not black, they belong to the europid race, with creol-brownish skin and darker hair-eyes.
The confusion is probably due to the Nubian pharaohs of the 25th Dynasty who were in fact black.
Load More Replies...The Kushites were the only black Pharaohs to ever rule Egypt, and were part of the 25th dynasty. They were descended from Nubians. The rest were a melting pot...Ramses II, for example, was light skinned and a ginger.
Not all Nubians were black. Read about the ancient cemetery found and the DNA done on the Royal families living there. Over 60% of the women dug up were European middle-eastern or Eastern European Haplogroups. The men were a mixture.
Load More Replies...Egypt is an interesting place. A lot of fighting over skin color when Ancient Egypt is an area that was truly multi-racial and cared far more about nationality than skin color. I get why everyone wants to claim them
Weren't they terribly inbred? I imagine they would have deformities similar to Habsburg dynasty, at least the mask hints to it
That’s what I thought too! The Habsburg chin is real and there’s no way the Pharoah’s avoided it. All of the ailments and deformity that King Tut have prove this out.
Load More Replies...FYI y'all => The painted sculptures of Queen Tiye - Akhenaton's mother, portray her with dark complexion (and super fierce features) I saw one such artefact in Berlin's Neues Museum a couple of years ago and even bought a postcard of her, because her no-nonsense facial expression was so striking. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTjE0NuUIZ96wKdDzQqytPxoGCaa_oAMr2Bog&usqp=CAU Mixed children & pple with mixed ancestry are born all over the melanin spectrum - from rich dark chocolate to olive or even porcelain pale. No way to know for sure how the genetic lottery turned out in the 18th dynasty. Sun exposure also plays a role, as darker skins get tanned faster (more melanine)... There are pix of me as a child looking like a little Eritrean after 3 weeks of intense sun exposure at the beach...
Facts. There is a comedian on YT, Lukas something, that is half black/white and he looks like he can get a sunburn just thinking about sunshine!! My kids are half Asian and happen to look almost totally white. Then you have blasian Michael Yo. He changes ethnicities just by wearing sunglasses. Genetics are kookie!
Load More Replies...Not entirely true, there is certain evidence that a dynastic line or two were black in Egypt, which shouldn't come as a surprise since Egypt has a very long history, being ruled over by many different people over time. Pyramids were built in the south by the people of Ethiopia and Sudan, and these countries has a very interesting and long history in their own right, which is well good to look into.
Vasco Da Gama
Vasco da Gama was a 15th century Portuguese navigator, explorer and administrator. It has great importance in Portuguese navigations at the time of the discoveries and conquests. He was appointed by King Dom Manuel I, commander of the fleet that left Europe and arrived in the Indies.
Wow!! the greatest navigator of all - except maybe for Fernão de Magalhães (who was also Portuguese). love it!! and he wasn't of great importance in Portuguese navigations only but in all navigation around the world.
PLS- why is this my creepy 7th grade science teacher that had all the girls sit in front and would make us raise our hands REALLY high up so he could "see it better" see what better? our stomach????? uhh chill anyways so

Marie Curie
The Polish scientist was the first woman in history to win a Nobel Prize in Physics. And she won twice.
She had a poor childhood, and to be able to study, she had to move from Poland to France, escaping the prohibition and lack of opportunity for women in science.
She was top of her class in her master's and together with her husband, Pierre Curie, developed the principles of radioactivity. She ended up dying at age 67 from the negative effects of radiation, for so long she was exposed to her studies and experiments.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Aphrodite
Aphrodite, in Greek mythology, was the goddess of beauty and love. The Greeks would ask her luck in love, the secrets of fascination and the preservation of youth. In Roman mythology she was called Venus.
The person who's doing these renditions has trouble with chins. This recreation has a pointy chin, while the original had a more of a rounded shape. The exact reverse happened in the Benjamin Franklin one, where the recreation doesn't have Franklin's distinctive pointed chin.
These are being done by Artificial Intelligence. However, I am not sure if they are Photoshopped afterwards. AI always seems to overemphasize one body part like eyes or cheekbones which makes the result look uncanny. Usually AI portraits reach the uncanny valley where the portrait looks human, yet there is something slightly off that you cannot quite place like perfect facial symmetry or eyes being disproportionately large for the face.

Jane Austen
Jane Austen was an English writer. Her works present elements of transition between Romanticism and Realism. Her most famous book is Pride and Prejudice.
It’s worth noting, that the one portrait we think we have of her, has never been confirmed that it is her.
I have never been able to get through one of her books. So tonight, I tried to watch the movie Emma, and I couldn't make myself finish it. I'm considering the zombie version.
aaand you think she looks like that actress who played Charlotte Lucas in 2005 movie?
Benjamin Franklin
Benjamin Franklin was one of the great characters in the history of the United States, known for several roles throughout his life, such as editor, journalist, scientist and diplomat. Franklin's dedication to science and knowledge made him one of the greatest representatives of the Enlightenment in the United States.
He def held many different roles... and his role of wild man in the s*x club he belonged to. He loved the ladies, even if some were paid to! He authored "Choosing A Mistress" in case anyone needs advice ;)
Christ The Redeemer, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil
The 38-meter-tall, over 1,000-ton statue took five years to build. It can be said that she was created by six hands. Engineer Heitor da Silva Costa designed the first project, plastic artist Carlos Oswald was in charge of the final design and French sculptor Paul Landowski modeled the pieces that make up the statue.
The statue unveiling ceremony, October 12, 1931.
I don't think Jesus would have been "white white" (if that makes sense) but he could have been Levantine/Semite. who often can have fair skin. I think the reconstruction could pass as such. At least it isn't an inexplicably blonde blue eyed jesus. (ergh)

Mona Lisa
Mona Lisa also known as La Gioconda or Mona Lisa del Giocondo is the most notable and well-known work of Leonardo da Vinci, one of the most eminent men of the Italian Renaissance. His painting began in 1503 and it is in this work that the artist best conceived the technique of sfumato.
