25 Times People Tried To Recreate Famous Artworks And Totally Nailed It

People have been sending their entries to a project called “Take a photo of the Rembrandt type” since last December. The project’s feed on Vk.com garnered over 300 submissions showing people recreating famous artworks.

The best part of this project is that anyone could be a part of it. In fact, you don’t have to be so serious in replicating these famous works of Classic Art or hire a professional photographer to take your snaps. Some entrants had a sense of humor in it but still managed to deliver what was needed.
