Проект называется Royalty Now.

Художница и графический дизайнер Бекка Саладин создала проект Royalty Now, в котором показала, как бы выглядели известные личности, если бы они жили сегодня. Художница создала современные фото 16-ого президента США Авраама Линкольна, древнеегипетской королевы Нефертити, королевы Англии Анны Болейн, ее мужа, короля Генриха VIII и многих других.

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 dont see any modern doppelganger — I think he was a really unique looking person. Who do you all think he looks like? .

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 ДО нашей эры. 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.

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 (be her lips) were really that delicate — and I dont 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 its 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! ???????? .

Ive been resisting doing Cleopatra for some time, simply because there arent many reliable depictions of her, and most descriptions of her by historians were made after her death. However, Ive gotten so many requests for her, I wanted to give you all what youve 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. Its also hard to tell what her skin & hair colors were — most descriptions describe her as которую ты будешь иметь зовут dark and honey-skinned”, but some even say she was a redhead. Consider this my “Artists Rendition of a way that she could possibly have 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! . .

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?

Here we are with Genghis Khan, one of the most fascinating rulers in history and the founder of the Mongol Empire. Genghis was also responsible for millions of deaths. This was one that was requested many times over the past week. This is the only portrait of Genghis Khan that was supervised by someone who knew what he looked like — his grandson Khubilai Khan. There are no contemporary portraits of him. Similar to the хорошего изображения of Cleopatra, there are differing descriptions on what his coloring was. Some claimed he had red hair and green eyes, others claimed he had features very similar to East Asian populations today. I have to admit this one challenged me and stretched my skills. This was the oldest and most stylized portrait Ive ever worked from. Let me know what you think in the comments below! . If youre interested in a time lapse video of how I created this piece, keep an eye out for my Patreon launch announcement coming this week! ???? .

The Patreon pollsters have selected King Tut as the next subject! I know this is a little different than my usual post. This time Ive been given permission to use this recreation by the forensic artist (& my idol) Elisabeth Daynes (@atelier_daynes). This recreation of King Tut has long been my favorite, and was created in 2005 when 2 teams were tasked with recreating what King Tut may have looked like. It shows some of the features that may have been the result of inbreeding, such as the overbite and weak chin. I realize that the hard work here has been done for me by Daynes, but I wanted to bring him into the modern day. Hope you enjoy. . .
