Have you ever wondered what the subjects of classical paintings would look like when placed in a modern setting?
I've
wondered how people would handle seeing a naked person walking around
town like they do in classical paintings, but Venus on the half shell in
a modern setting has been artistically done to death.
However, I
can’t recall seeing composited images of classical paintings in the
modern world that are as compelling, or entertaining, as the works of
Alexey Kondakov.
Alexey
uses precise figure placement and an appropriate urban backdrop to sell
the fact that the Madonna and child would ride the subway home, and
bacchanalian revelry would take place under a highway overpass.
