We Re-Imagined These 30 Famous Portraits With A Smile And It’s Hilarious
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!

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.

By today's standards, people are expected to have perfect teeth. We are supposed to feel ashamed if we don't have great teeth.

Is 'hilarious' the only word Bored Panda is authorized to use in its headlines?? Someone needs to send them a thesaurus, stat.

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.
