Muitas personalidades históricas ilustram quadros antigos pintados com tintas a óleo ou outro tipo de material que se perpetua até os dias de hoje, entretanto você já parou pra pensar como seriam essas pessoas se vivessem junto com a gente?

Becca Saladin tinha essa curiosidade e resolveu usar todo seu talento para trazer figuras marcantes do mundo antigo para a nossa realidade. Confira alguns exemplos de seu trabalho e se encante:

01. Napoleão Bonaparte 1769-1821

Did you know that Napoleon was most likely 5’7″? That’s taller than King Louis XIV. Some say his perceived smaller stature was due to him looking small in comparison to his huge accomplishments. Others say it there was an error when translating his true height from French to English. Who do you think he looks like here? Original portrait by Jacques-Louis David.

02. Genghis Khan 1162-1227

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 depiction 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 I’ve ever worked from. Let me know what you think in the comments below! . If you’re interested in a time lapse video of how I created this piece, keep an eye out for my Patreon launch announcement coming this week! ? .

04. Agripina, a Jovem 15 E.C. – 59 E.C

Agrippina the Younger is someone I only recently learned more about, but she had a crazy life. She was the sister to Emperor Caligula, and the mother to Emperor Nero. I highly recommend giving her a search if you’re interested in that era of roman history! I couldn’t find any contemporary descriptions of her looks, so I based her coloring off of Caligula’s, who did have his looks described (and who was a former Royalty Now subject!).

05. Imperatriz Elisabeth da Áustria 1837-1898

Empress Elisabeth of Austria, originally a request from @nenah.mikuska. We had a great conversation about her and why she’s such a fascinating figure. Ever since she was brought to my attention, I’ve been seeing and hearing about her everywhere! During her life, Elisabeth (known as Sisi), was known for being beautiful, smart, rebellious & passionate. Definitely worth some digging into if you are interested in late 1800s Europe. . .

06. Wallis Simpson 1896-1986

Wallis Simpson was the American socialite and divorcée at the heart of the Abdication Crisis that caused King Edward VIII to give up the throne. This unlikely turn of events is the reason Queen Elizabeth II rules today, as her father (George VI) stepped into take Edward’s place as king.

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.

09. Cristina da Dinamarca 1521-1590

 

Ver essa foto no Instagram

 

Christina of Denmark, seen here in an original Hans Holbein portrait, lived from 1521 – 1590. Christina was considered as a possible bride for King Henry VIII of England. Christina was not fond of the English King’s reputation, given that he had divorced his first wife and beheaded his second wife. Originator of one of the greatest quotes about King Henry in history, Christina famously said “If I had two heads, one should be at the King of England’s disposal.” What an amazing denial to a marriage proposal. . . . #TudorHistory #ChristinaofDenmark #DanishHistory #DuchessofMilan #ChristinaDuchessofMilan #KingHenryVIII #HistoryofEngland #HistoryofDenmark #beheading #AnneBoleyn #MaryI #TudorEngland #1500s #TudorMarriage #EuropeanHistory #RoyaltyNow #Photoshopping #Photoshop #PhotoManipulation #GraphicDesign

10. Mary, rainha da Escócia 1542 – 1587

The Patreon group has selected Mary, Queen of Scots for the next post! For those of you that have been following me for a long time, this is not my first time posting this queen, but I wanted to re-do my original version using a different portrait this time. This portrait was painted when Mary was between 16 and 18 years old, painted around the time of her wedding to Francis, the Dauphin of France. Honestly, she’s hard to pin down because I’ve seen so many portraits of her and they all look very different. I wouldn’t call Mary beautiful exactly, but she was tall, charming and vivacious according to descriptions. Hope you all enjoy. . .

12. Anne Bolena 1501 – 1536

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! ?? .

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

15. Abraham Lincoln 1809 – 1865

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.
