Forgot the duckface.
Fake; there’s no duckface.
How is that “modern” if it is a painting? Is it a picture of a painting? Is it a painting of a piture? You fail.
painting filter on picture maybe?
Ok. First, culture yourself and look up “Girl with a pearl earring” on google images. After this, take an art history class and educate yourself to the fact that people still paint (GASP!). Then open your eyes to the silver camera in her hand.
Seriously though. Educate yourself. The only fail here is your comment.
Education is key, and in today’s world so accessible. I do admire the new artist for the modernization of this portrait. I am sure that Johannes Vermeer would chuckle.
lol… because no one paints anymore? Thanks for the laugh.
Whoops… should be a reply to Marvel.
I find it funny how many people miss the point of this picture. I think it’s brilliant.
The camera is pointed the wrong way!
no it’s not, it’s pointed towards a mirror – have you never seen the “MySpace picture” style before?

Come on people.
It’s brilliant.
Do you know who did this wonderful manipulation?
Mitchell Grafton is the artist.
I love the concept and the execution – but sad that I can no longer see the pearl earring!
