Insolite. Elle reproduit les portraits de personnages historiques, façon 2020

C'est une passion peu ordinaire et surtout un immense talent pour cette jeune femme : Becca Saladin est une artiste passionnée par le graphisme et l'histoire, qui a décidé d'assembler ses deux passions. Qui ne s'est jamais posé la question de savoir à quoi ressembleraient des personnages emblématiques de notre passé ? Marie-Antoinette, Jules César ou même Mona Lisa ont fait l'objet de ces customisations. Tous les tableaux sont à retrouver sur sa page Instagram @royalty_now_

Voici quelques portraits actuels de nos ancêtres, selon Becca Saladin :

Louis XV is lesser known than his predecessor the Sun King and his heir, Louis XVI, but he was the second-longest reigning monarch in French history. I have always known him by his famous mistresses, Madame De Pompadour (a former Royalty Now subject, swipe ➡️➡️ to see her) and Madame du Barry. I'll do Madame du Barry soon and complete the set!

Julius Caesar. This was a fun one that took some time and I've been really excited to share. I think he has a very regal look about him - what do you guys think?

Not exactly royalty but certainly one of the most well known faces in the world: the Mona Lisa. What do you all think about the calls to remove her from the Louvre?

I've been resisting doing Cleopatra for some time, simply because there aren't many reliable depictions of her, and most descriptions of her by historians were made after her death. However, I've gotten so many requests for her, I wanted to give you all what you've been asking for 🥰 . . The closest thing we have are Roman busts from the first century BCE, around the time that Cleopatra would have been visiting Rome. I chose to base my recreation off of the Berlin Bust of Cleopatra, which was thought to have been created around 46-44 BCE. I chose this bust because most of the depictions of her include common features - a strong nose, full lips, and small chin. It's also hard to tell what her skin & hair colors were - most descriptions describe her as dark haired and “honey-skinned”, but some even say she was a redhead. Consider this my “Artist's Rendition” of a way that she could have possibly looked. Bottom line, Cleopatra was an amazing woman. She was intelligent, witty, spoke several languages, and was incredibly skilled in diplomacy. I really enjoyed learning more about her during research for this recreation! . .

While I'm working away on my next subject, let's go ahead and enjoy this one from 7 months ago: Marie Antionette. Did you guys like the Sofia Coppola movie? I really enjoyed it but I know some people hated it.
