ΑΝΔΟΜΩΝΤΑΣ ΜΕΓΑΛΑ ΠΡΟΣΩΠΑ ΤΗΣ ΙΣΤΟΡΙΑΣ

Όσοι/ες γοητεύονται από την Ιστορία και την Αρχαιολογία θα βρουν άκρως ενδιαφέρουσα τη δουλειά της σχεδιάστριας γραφικών Μπέκα Σάλαντιν, που "αναδημιούργησε" το πρόσωπο δεκάδων προωπικοτήτων της Ιστορίας , από την αρχαιότητα έως τις μέρες μας, βασισμένη σε όποιο υλικό είχε στη διάθεσή της , από το μάρμαρο και τα πορτρέτα έως τις σύγχρονες φωτογραφίες.

Το αποτέλεσμα ήταν καταπληκτικό.

I Reimagine Famous Historical Figures In The Modern World (44 Pics)

Ever since I was a child, I have been fascinated by history and archaeology. I think humans perceive the past as a series of events; something like a movie that we can’t really feel or touch. I believe the things that bring us closer to the past are those that truly humanize us – the bodies from Pompeii, the perfectly preserved Inca mummies, the personal objects of those long gone, and more.

I’ve always thought how incredible it would be to see historical events and people the way they actually happened and the way they actually looked. I started Royalty Now in February of 2019, simply as a way for me to see my favorite historical figure, Anne Boleyn, as a modern woman. I wanted to know if she could come to life from the few pale, flat portraits we have of her. I started the account to satisfy my own curiosity about what members of the past would look like if they were standing right in front of me. I’m incredibly thankful for the support and interest the account has received, and can’t wait to see what happens next.

#1 Julius Caesar

#2 Abraham Lincoln

“Abe Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. Lincoln led the nation through the American Civil War, its bloodiest war and its greatest moral, constitutional, and political crisis. He preserved the Union, abolished slavery, strengthened the federal government, and modernized the U.S. economy.”

#3 Anne Boleyn

#4 Nefertiti

“This bust of Nefertiti (believed to have been sculpted during her lifetime) is famous for its grace and beauty. Nefertiti lived from approximately 1370 – 1330 BC. She was an Egyptian queen and the wife of Akhenaten, an Egyptian Pharaoh. Akhenaten is famous for his attempt to transition Egypt into a monotheistic society (worshipping only the sun god, Aten), instead of a polytheistic one.”

#5 Agrippina The Younger

“Agrippina the Younger is someone I only recently learned more about but she had a crazy life. She was the sister of Emperor Caligula and the mother of Emperor Nero. I highly recommend giving her a search if you’re interested in that era of Roman history!”

#6 Napoleon

“Did you know that Napoleon was most likely 5’7″? That’s taller than King Louis XIV. Some say his perceived smaller stature was due to him looking small in comparison to his huge accomplishments. Others say there was an error when translating his true height from French to English. Who do you think he looks like here?”

#7 Emperor Augustus

“Emperor Augustus (born Octavius, the great-nephew of Julius Caesar) was the first emperor of Rome, ending 500 years of republic. He’s an incredibly controversial figure, especially due to the smart and ruthless way he came to power, but he ruled over a time of relative peace in the Roman empire.”
