This Russian Facebook Group Is Dedicated To Recreating Famous Art Pieces While Isolating And Here Are The 30 Best Works
Even though most people are spending their days isolated at home due to the coronavirus pandemic, it doesn’t mean that life has suddenly become boring and uncultured. On the contrary, since people are temporarily banned from visiting their favorite art galleries and museums, they are bringing them home for themselves by recreating art pieces with whatever objects they have at home.
While these Russian people are certainly having a blast becoming artwork themselves, it’s not the first time someone has done it. The J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles (or the Getty for short) challenged people to recreate their favorite works of art last month and the results were just as brilliant as the ones from this list.

Absolutely great. It goes to prove that everything changes, yet everything remains the same. Well done!

Why in the original are roosters (or cockerels) pulling the chariot? I'm guessing it's symbolic, though it's very strange that horses or other strong animals aren't tethered to the chariot. Five hours later, Mercury (Hermes) would be in the same spot.

Henri Rousseau drew from his imagination! Said he went to the locations but never left the country. Occasionally he went to the zoo.

sorry to be picky, but this splendid preparation of costumes and the similarity of the model would have deserved a more precise position of the head and the half-closed eyes, just a little more effort...

This is so well done, and I love the humour in turning the purple cloth into a bottle of wine to substitute the stump of the tree! It fooled me at first so that I took for granted that it was a bunch of grapes and not what is probably her shawl.

Yes, yes, yes. Stranded in a melancholy sea of shoes. Shopping therapy may bring immediate relief, but once you get home you can only continue to wistfully dream of all the places you thought you would sail to wearing them.

There's a Russian poem 'Ded Mozai i zaytsi' meaning old man Mazay and hares. The premise is, during the spring flood, an old man is passing by remaining little islands in his boat, picking up hares, that got stranded there. It was very heartwarming. Don't know if the poem was inspired by the painting, or vise versa...

A spoof on Toulouse Lautrec? He was only 5 feet tall and painted at the Moulin Rouge in the late 1880’s. He died young.
