Artist seamlessly blends classic art with the modern world
A surreal art project has gathered momentum on social media, depicting Renaissance art figures in modern settings, like parks, streets, book stores and more.
Bringing classical art to the contemporary world, The Canvas Project creates stunning collages of famous art subjects from artists like Rembrandt, Botticelli, Renoir and countless others.
The project is the brainchild of Portuguese artist Gabriel Nardelli Araujo, who was inspired by a trip to the UK. “I had the opportunity to spend some time in London and wanted to produce something beyond simple travel photos or architecture,” he said.
