Here’s What Famous Historical Figures Would Look Like Today, As Shared On This IG Page (30 Pics)
73Kviews
It's always fun to see paintings, cartoons or anime characters come to life when people create realistic edits of them. Inspired by that, award-winning comic book writer Magdalena Vissagio decided she would try to see how famous historical figures would look if they lived in modern times. She uses mobile apps to create these edits, specifically FaceApp and AirBrush, and the results are quite impressive.
Magdalena writes on her Twitter account: "A lot of people think I'm a digital artist or whatever, so let me clarify how I work. Everything you see here is done in Faceapp+Airbrush on my phone. On the outside, each takes between 15-30 mins."

Alexander the Great
At the airport: - Name? - Alexander. - Occupation? - No, "sightseeing".
Apps these days let you do all kinds of things, from changing the way you look to turning you into a cartoon character, to even bringing photos to life! A.I. has gone very far recently and we carry it around in our pockets. It's only a matter of time before A.I. will be a big part of our everyday lives.
Catherine the Great
It would be very interesting to see Abraham Lincoln or George Washington these days. What would be their views? Would they still be in politics? Would Alexander the Great conquer the world or TikTok? Too bad that we're never going to find out—we can only see how they would look thanks to Magdalena and her project.

They would have different styles, but their facial features wouldn't change.
Yes, a lot of these look nothing like their original. I guess the AI is still learning.
The artist is an American woman that knows nothing about how people look in Europe and Africa. She says she does each one in fifteen minutes. If she had more knoledge, did a little research and had more respect, she should take more time and might had not just random people as a result.
A few, a very few, are good. But most of them are nothing like the historical person.
That would be a great help for history teachers nowadays, if kids saw all those people looking like us, they would recognize them as human beings, not only pictures, and it would be easier to teach about them ...
