Jak wyglądaliby sławni ludzie, gdyby żyli w XXI wieku?

Od największych monarchów po największe postacie historyczne, jakie kiedykolwiek istniały, artystka przywraca je do życia. Historyczka, Becca Saladin umiejętnie ożywiła postacie, za pomocą ilustracji, które widzieliśmy tylko w książkach, rzeźbach i obrazach. Jej praca daje nam wgląd w to, jak wyglądaliby legendarni przywódcy i wybitne postacie, gdyby nadal chodzili wśród nas.

Zakochaliśmy się w twórczości Becci i chętnie podzielimy się jej ilustracjami z wami!

1. Królowa Nefertiti 1370 p.n.e – 1330 p.n.e

View this post on Instagram

Throwback to the stunning Queen Nefertiti. . . . This bust of Nefertiti (believed to have been sculpted during her lifetime) is famous for its grace and beauty. Nefertiti lived from approximately 1370 – 1330 BC. She was an Egyptian queen and the wife of Akhenaten, an Egyptian Pharaoh. Akhenaten is famous for his attempt to transition Egypt into a monotheistic society (worshipping only the sun god, Aten), instead of a polytheistic one.

3. Henry VII 1457 — 1509

View this post on Instagram

Here we are with Henry VII, the first tudor monarch, a frequent request from you all. Henry was the last king of England to attain the throne in battle after defeating Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485. . I’m really excited about all of the shows/books/media covering the Wars of the Roses that have been coming out in the last 10 years. What’s your favorite show/book about it? I’d love to dive in even further. .

4. Madame du Barry 1743 — 1793

View this post on Instagram

As you all know, last week I completed Louis XV’s portrait with the goal of creating both of his famous official mistresses. This is Madame du Barry – the official mistress of Louis XV after his first love, Madame de Pompadour’s death. Swipe to see them all! ➡️➡️ . . Do you think Madame de Pompadour and Madame du Barry look alike? I think they definitely do, but it could also be the way the portraits were painted at the time. Let me know what you all think in the comments! 📢

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?

7. Katarzyna Howard 1523 — 1542

View this post on Instagram

Katherine Howard (c. 1523 – 13 February 1542) was Queen of England for only 16 months as the fifth wife of Henry VIII. Katherine was actually the cousin of Henry's second wife, Anne Boleyn (an image we have done before). When they married, he was 49 and she only 16 or 17. Katherine was accused of adultery and executed by the King, ending her short reign as the Queen of England. . . . #TudorHistory #KatherineHoward #CatherineHoward #KingHenryVIII #AnneBoleyn #EnglishHistory #BritishHistory #KatherineofAragon #SixWives #FifthWife #RoyaltyNow #RoyalHistory #EnglishRoyalty #BritishRoyalty #RoyalFamily #Monarchs #Monarchy #MonarchsofEngland #History #Photoshop #GraphicDesign

8. Katarzyna Aragońska 1485 — 1536

View this post on Instagram

This portrait of Katherine of Aragon, wife of King Henry VIII and queen of England from 1509-1533, has always been my favorite. There are several portraits of her that all range in looks, so it’s hard to tell her true likeness. I think this one captures her piety as documented by historians. . . . #history #royals #royaltynow #royalsnow #historicalportrait #queenofengland #1500s #photoshopped #photoshop #photoshoppedhistory #moderndayhistory #graphicdesign #katherineofaragon #queenisabella #kingferdinand #kinghenryviii #anneboleyn #historyincolor #historycometolife

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? . Left image: public domain, right image base: Kirk McCoy, Los Angeles Times

#tbt to Mary I, one of the first of these I ever created. If you look through my other Tudor portraits, it’s easy to see some resemblance between the members of this family!

11. Eleonora Toledańska 1519 — 1562

View this post on Instagram

Eleanor of Toledo was an astonishing woman. Originally from Toledo, Spain, she was bride to a famous member of the Medici Family, Cosimo I de Medici. Her husband regularly consulted with her on matters of politics, and she even served as consort during his time away from Florence. I’m hoping to do a portrait of Cosimo I soon. Do you have a favorite Medici family member?

13. Abraham Lincoln 1809 — 1865

View this post on Instagram

A lot of you requested Abraham Lincoln when I asked last week – this one came together so nicely. As most of you know, Abe Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. Lincoln led the nation through the American Civil War, its bloodiest war and its greatest moral, constitutional, and political crisis. He preserved the Union, abolished slavery, strengthened the federal government, and modernized the U.S. economy. . I personally don’t see any modern doppelganger – I think he was a really unique looking person. Who do you all think he looks like? . Colorization for left image goes to Marina Amaral (@marinaarts), and Universal History Archive.

14. Anne Boleyn 1501 — 1536

View this post on Instagram

I hope nobody here will get tired of my Anne Boleyn posts…she is my favorite historical figure so you may get quite a few :) Many people asked me last time I posted Anne if I really thought her features (specifically her lips) were really that delicate – and I don’t think they were. Tudor portraiture often de-emphasized these features, so I modified my finished version to reflect what I think is probably her more likely appearance. Since it’s the holiday season, one of my favorite ghost stories is the story of Anne appearing underneath the great oak tree at Hever Castle, her childhood home, every Christmas day. Do you all have a favorite historic ghost story? Hope you all have a great holiday season! 🎄🎄 .

Repost of Prince Albert on this lovely Friday: Prince Albert, shown here at age 21 and painted by John Partridge in 1840. Albert was the Prince Consort to Queen Victoria for 22 years, resulting in 9 children and a massive dynasty that would eventually extend to many of the royal houses in Europe.
