Maybe do some biblical figures to life. Moses, Jesus, Mary Magdalene, Sampson and Delilah, Cain and Able…just an idea. Ty for doing these, it truly helps to see how these people may have been, making history more alive and real. 😊

[@culturecanvas777]

​@@kelleyhawk6595 no, we don't have any photograph or even physical description of those people. It will just be fantasy instead of AI enhancement.

I found a picture of an English painter called Geoffrey Kneller. I was struck by how like my husband he was. Nobody seems to be able to see it except me. It would be interesting to see his look updated.

[@kelleyhawk6595]

Queen Elizabeth and Anne Boleyn r my favs. It always amazes me when we only have paintings of people, and then bringing them to computerized life, how much younger they appear. Or rather how much more of their age they actually look.

[@_TONY_Az]

Did them all a great deal of justice I'd Say

[@Jackie371]

Well, the painters did accentuate their best qualities and would omit an unattractive feature. They knew that some of the royalty would have them killed if their portrait was unflattering in any way. Also, they knew this would be an image that could last for centuries, so they wanted to touch up or omit small imperfections.

[@roseoconnor5938]

They were all amazing....Henry V111 looked brilliant with today's look....

[@JohnDoe-td3xx]

[@heathermcdougall8023]

Anne of Cleves was lovely. Michaelangelo's face was fascinating and amazing. I really like Rembrant's face too.

The best interpretation of Nefertiti I have ever seen. But the others are good too!

[@borleyboo5613]

I was impressed with all of them. But, as a historian of nearly 50 years, my favourites are the members of the family who sparked my interest in history all those years ago……..The Tudors. 😊 Very well done. 😊

[@MysteryScoop]

Fair enough!

[@Chebawitch]

Me too. I was always drawn to the Tudors for some reason. Although, I do love a man with long hair so when Charles II popped up, I kinda thought 'oh yeah, I'd stalk this man, lol. To be honest tho', I thought they were all pretty good!

[@joannasimmonds3706]

They look very Welsh, don't they? The Stuarts were very glamorous

[@janegardener1662]

Henry VIII cleaned up nicely. You shouldn't have changed the eye color of Elizabeth and her mother Ann Boleyn, though. They were both known for their dark eyes.

[@galaxy98765]

Maybe in the modern depictions, they are both wearing colored maybe blue contact lenses! LOL.

Henry is perfect..100% well done

[@sweeneytodd011]

You could easily see him down the pub on a weekend with his mates. Known for throwing back several beers and having an eye for the ladies.

[@leagarner3675]

You have truly outdone yourself. Amazing work and some interesting choices. I especially liked Henry VIII expression. Just as arrogant as expected. I think Nefertiti was an amazing experience. And I think I saw Napoleon Bonaparte walking down the street the other day

[@anunearthlychild8569]

It is always fascinating that many women in these pictures have incredibly small mouths. Either because fashion wanted it that way and the painters helped out a little. Or because they made up their lips like that, similar to women at the beginning of the 20th century. As a result, many women look a bit strange in the modern pictures, because nowadays no one wears make-up like that, and has such a tiny mouth. Michelangelo looks insanely alive, and I could swear I saw Henry Vlll the other day. 🤣

[@anastasia10017]

you are wrong. it is only now that big lips and big asses are fashionable and women are going to plastic surgeons to get lip implants and Brazilian butt lifts.

[@lynnodonnell4764]

@@anastasia10017 Well... the small lip thing is not that far off. Small mouths and short even teeth use to be considered feminine. To have such features if you were of a higher class would alert others that you were a 'lady of poise and quality' so to speak. Woman lips were seen as mimicking labia. It was not ideal for a Highborn female to sport full juicy lips; having such could beckon arousal in a male. Now long teeth are attributed to youthfulness and so are full lips. Silent cues of female fertility are full earlobes, lips and feet. Fatty deposits in these areas are contingent on ESTROGEN. As estrogen wanes these body parts start to thin. A chiropractor was explaining the fatty cushioning underneath the feet, allowing comfort for wearing higher heeled footwear. When menopause kicks in those fat pads thin hence the 'comfortable shoe' decades arrive. He went on to tell me very wealthy women get fat injected onto these thinned out areas so they can continue to wear high-heeled shoes. I had my lips filled once because I have a shapely upper lip and a very thin lower lip actually lacking pigment, which makes it look even thinner :(. The plastic surgeon put in 'just enough'. I was utterly unprepared for the amount of compliments I recieved from men... How I wish I could afford to have my ear lobes plumped up being 70yrs old now. DIfferant centuries and decades have their own concepts of beauty. Bet you didn't notice the SIDE PARTS in the modern female hair images. Use to be a big NO-NO. Hair was still mainly parted down the middle into the 1970's.

[@anunearthlychild8569]

@@anastasia10017 You misunderstood me. Look at the mouths in the pictures, they look similar to the mouths of the female movie stars of the 1920s. They powdered the sides of their mouths and only accentuated the middle part with lipstick. This has nothing to do with thick or thin lips, but that the mouth is generally very small. It's like painting a child's mouth on an adult's face.

[@judyweeks1480]

Your comment sparked a good discussion.

[@judyweeks1480]

@@lynnodonnell4764 I certainly didn't know that about the feet. Wow! I was wondering why I never had problem feet when I was younger and could wear high heels without once having sore feet. I could dance up a storm in spiked heels. Now, no way.

Most people unfamiliar with a young King Henry forget he was once a very handsome man.

That's what historians say, he was handsome athletic young man... until the accident!

[@lisanidog8178]

King Charles II looks awesome as an 80’s hair band rocker. Guitarist and lead singer.

It's when you see them transformed into real people and not just looking at a painting then i think WOW it makes them more real then they ever wear .

This is true. Stalin was known to be very handsome in his youth, but yes, he was a terrible man.

I find that when the hair is modernized noticeably, like Isaac Newton's, that helps to imagine him as our contemporary. But with others, the hair styles weren't altered much from their familiar portraits (e.g. Franklin, Washington, Jefferson, Shakespeare) so it's harder to make that imaginative shift. I found Catherine the Great, Columbus, Jane Austen, Akhenaten, Nefertiti all to be extraordinary. Bravo on the clothing, too!
