We imagine some of the most famous paintings in the world portrayed after so many years

The universe of the arts is capable of producing works that span centuries without losing their charm. And the vast majority of them are based on real facts, with seemingly common scenes, portraying the daily life of the time in which they were conceived. Although surrounded by mysteries, in some situations, painters are always influenced by their era and the reality they perceive around them.

In view of this, the wording of the incredible.club he wondered how great masters of painting would look at the world around us today — between photo filters, selfies and virtual realities. The result of this journey through the centuries can be seen below in this series of exclusive illustrations. Come with us!

Originally called La Gioconda, this is undoubtedly one of the most famous paintings in the world. Painted by Leonardo Da Vinci in the 16th century, the Mona Lisa is, even today, surrounded by mysteries. The main one is who this woman would actually be.

In any case, it is a character who represented the female figure of those times. What if, today, the Da Vinci master sought a figure to be inspired by? We thought she could be a business woman, with a strong and determined look, without losing her mysterious air.

This painting was produced more than 350 years ago, in 1665. Although the focal point of the work is the pearl earring, it is impossible not to be impressed by the character’s beauty and skin. Very little is known about this painting, which apparently was not intended as a conventional portrait. As well as the girl portrayed, she was also never identified.

Currently, even with changes in beauty references, “peach skin” is always an ideal to be achieved! Our girl brings pearl earrings as her inseparable brand, but she is divided when it comes to choosing the best look to appear on social networks!

Painted at the end of the 19th century, The Starry Night was completed in three nights. He is the representation of the view that Van Gogh had from his bedroom window while he was in an asylum in France.

According to reports from the time, the artist noticed the clear sky and nothing but a very large star, the so-called Estrela D’Alva. And today, as soon as we see a scene worthy of recording, where will it be registered? In oil on canvas or on social media?

This famous painting by Renoir was a major challenge in the artist’s career. Hired by a traditional family to portray their two daughters, he needed several sessions to get the best poses for the children. Still, when finishing the work, he confessed that he was not sure about the quality of the painting.

Until today, it is very difficult to get the best poses from children. If he worked as a photographer today, Renoir would possibly have caught some pouts, “peace and love” signs or yoga postures.

Imagine a painting painted in 1434, portraying a couple and their pet expecting a baby… Considered innovative for its time, the work O Casal Arnolfini is one of the most important paintings by the Flemish artist Jan van Eyck.

Full of symbolism, the painting is, even today, the object of study by specialists in the arts. To bring this scene to the present day, how about a young and relaxed couple, ready for the arrival of the new member of the family?

The Belgian artist René Magritte painted his self-portrait in this work. According to him, it showed “something that happens constantly. Everything we see hides something else, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see”.

In the case of the painting, it is possible to perceive the look of the man, who observes the world camouflaged by the apple. Our version shows reality on another plane, the virtual one. Places where it is also possible to see and experience experiences that are not what we actually see and feel.

The painting Arrangement in Gray and Black nº 1 or Portrait of the Artist’s Mother reproduces the reality of everyday scenes of the American painter James McNeill Whistler, during the period in which his mother lived with him, during her old age, in London. Initially, the portrait was going to be of the lady standing up, but the artist realized that she couldn’t stay in that position for long.

Nowadays, most people still remain in the same posture for long periods, especially in front of the television, either to binge watch a series or to watch the latest of our favorite reality show.

This painting, full of bright colors and careful details, was commissioned by the French government between 1891 and 1892. Auguste Renoir chose to portray the habits and pastimes of the time.

The two girls gathered around the piano is an example of how young people and children could have fun in the 19th century. Nowadays, even if it is to make music, the computer will always be present — or at least a smartphone will be close by to give support for those who forget the lyrics of new hits.

Of course it’s all a joke, but we believe it won’t be that unusual to find a painting like this a few centuries from now. Which one of these would you have on your wall? Take the opportunity to tag that friend, a fan of famous paintings, in the comments tab.
