A 66-year-old American photographer Laura Hofstadter has created an adorable project where she recreates masterpieces of classical paintings in a series of black and white pself-portraits.

Laura believes that "the older we get, the more invisible we become to  the society." With this project of recreating famous art pieces she not only wanted to have fun, but also to prove that there are no age limits for art.

    I just recently found out that this painting was one of the paintings sold in secrecy by the communists from the State Hermitage museum in St. Petersburg in 1930. They robbed the state and the people of some of the greatest art in history in exchange for money.
