This Russian Facebook Group Is Dedicated To Recreating Famous Art Pieces While Isolating And Here Are The 30 Best Works
Even though most people are spending their days isolated at home due to the coronavirus pandemic, it doesn’t mean that life has suddenly become boring and uncultured. On the contrary, since people are temporarily banned from visiting their favorite art galleries and museums, they are bringing them home for themselves by recreating art pieces with whatever objects they have at home.
While these Russian people are certainly having a blast becoming artwork themselves, it’s not the first time someone has done it. The J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles (or the Getty for short) challenged people to recreate their favorite works of art last month and the results were just as brilliant as the ones from this list.

WOW! Again, much attention to detail! It is also stand-alone lovely in it's own right.
Viktor Vasnetsov "Alyonushka". 1881 Oil on canvas. 173 × 121 cm State Tretyakov gallery, Moscow
Nice recreation of a telamon (a sculpted male statue serving as an architectural support).
There's a Russian poem 'Ded Mozai i zaytsi' meaning old man Mazay and hares. The premise is, during the spring flood, an old man is passing by remaining little islands in his boat, picking up hares, that got stranded there. It was very heartwarming. Don't know if the poem was inspired by the painting, or vise versa...
