Repainting the masters

A creative project where I attempt to merge old masterpieces of painting or drawings with modern day photography, leaving most of the original texture intact.

These (and other future images) can be seen in a higher resolution on the website of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

There you can compare my image with the original painting/drawing; please follow the link above to the site of the Rijksmuseum.
