Ciudad de México /

Si eres un amante de la historia, posiblemente te has preguntado cómo lucirían algunas personalidades como Cleopatra, Alejandro Magno o la Mona Lisa si vivieran en la actualidad. La misma pregunta se la realizó la diseñadora estadunidense Becca Saladin, quien recreó la imagen de esos personajes y el resultado está volviendo locos a los usuarios en redes sociales.

A través de su cuenta de Instagram, Saladin comparte su proyecto Royalty Now, en el que ha recreado, a partir de obras artísticas, la imagen de grandes personajes de la historia como Nefertiti, Maria Antonieta, el emperador Augusto y Julio César. 

La cuenta @royalty_now_ ya suma casi 75 mil seguidores de todo el mundo en Instagram, quienes se han mostrado muy emocionados con el increíble trabajo histórico-artístico realizado por Becca Saladin.

Para lograr una imagen moderna y realista de los personajes históricos, la artista utiliza Photoshop y se basa como referencia en una imagen artística, que suele publicar junto al resultado final. Además, como ha compartido en entrevistas con diversos medios, Saladin se permite algunos permisos estéticos para conseguir una imagen más aproximada y realista en sus obras cuando no hay suficientes registros históricos o visuales sobre las personalidades.

Aquí te compartimos parte del increíble trabajo de Becca Saladin para que te sorprendas con la imagen modernizada de los personajes históricos, al igual que lo han hecho las miles de personas que siguen la obra de esta ingeniosa diseñadora:

Cleopatra

View this post on Instagram

I’ve been resisting doing Cleopatra for some time, simply because there aren’t many reliable depictions of her, and most descriptions of her by historians were made after her death. However, I’ve gotten so many requests for her, I wanted to give you all what you’ve been asking for ???? . . The closest thing we have are Roman busts from the first century BCE, around the time that Cleopatra would have been visiting Rome. I chose to base my recreation off of the Berlin Bust of Cleopatra, which was thought to have been created around 46-44 BCE. I chose this bust because most of the depictions of her include common features - a strong nose, full lips, and small chin. It’s also hard to tell what her skin & hair colors were - most descriptions describe her as dark haired and “honey-skinned”, but some even say she was a redhead. Consider this my “Artist’s Rendition” of a way that she could have possibly looked. Bottom line, Cleopatra was an amazing woman. She was intelligent, witty, spoke several languages, and was incredibly skilled in diplomacy. I really enjoyed learning more about her during research for this recreation! . .

Emperador Augusto

View this post on Instagram

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. I didn’t actually know much about him, but I recently watched 8 Days that Made Rome on the Smithsonian channel and I can’t get enough! HIGHLY recommend that series. Anyone else know some good sources to learn more about Emperor Augustus? . . . #EmperorAugustus #Octavius #JuliusCaesar #Rome #RomanEmpire #Emperor #RomanEmperor #Nero #Caligula #Caesar #MarkAnthony #Pompey #RomeHistory #Roma #Photoshop #RoyalFamily #History #Royalty #EuropeanArt #EuropeanHistory #Drawing #GraphicDesign #HistoryMemes #Portrait #ArtRestoration #DigitalArt #ArtOnInstagram #HistoryNerd

Abraham Lincoln

A lot of you requested Abraham Lincoln when I asked last week - this one came together so nicely. As most of you know, 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. . I personally don’t see any modern doppelganger - I think he was a really unique looking person. Who do you all think he looks like? .
