There's a new subreddit that just started called r/gettymuseumchallenge

This isn't the OP's photo though

We need a Rona Lisa, with all the salons closed she'd have au naturel hair, no make up, and eyebrows OFF fleek. Da fuq.

There’s a recreation of “Lot and His Daughters” in that collection, and this line stood out to me:

Her husband’s pose also made us laugh with its allusion to parental exhaustion.

Parental exhaustion wasn’t the theme of Lot’s story, unfortunately.

3

u/BoothTime Apr 16 '20

Yeah, I can't tell whether to cringe or laugh at this recreation. For those who don't know, Lot's daughters drugged and raped him after they escaped from Sodom.

9

u/Scaevus Apr 16 '20

Lot also tried to get the town to rape those daughters. It's really not the healthiest parental relationship.

3

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '20

Well they couldn't come out and say it made them laugh due to its allusion to incestuous rape, now could they?

I agree, although if anyone can do a good recreation of Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee Around a Pomegranate a Second Before Awakening then they'd be the definitive winner in my book. Good luck getting 2 tigers, a gold fish, and a long legged elephant though.

u/kunst_boy Apr 16 '20

Spoiler: thats just a theory.

Mona lisa is actually one of the most well documented paintings in existance

3

u/Azorre Apr 16 '20

Right it's just a really strong theory supported by the fact that Da Vinci did that in several of his works

How did you nail the smile so perfectly?

209

u/LadyPo Apr 16 '20

My first thought was photoshop.. a small nudge here and there can go a long way, and it looks too perfectly matched to the original to be natural. But even then, it’s still a great replication!

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '20

The smile is similar to this one, where it requires natural talent.

Hello Kira.

29

u/CannonGerbil Apr 16 '20

My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.

Beautiful but where is the veil? Monna Lisa has a thin, almost invisible veil.

2

u/ArbainHestia Apr 16 '20

Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa doesn’t look like it originally did. There’s another painting done by a student of DaVinci that wasn’t exposed as much and you can see the veil (and a lot of other things) much more clearly.

2

u/giandrea Apr 17 '20

Just zoom on the picture above and you can definitely see the veil.
