Riccardo Mayr Recreates Renaissance Paintings by Adding Star Wars Characters

by Flynn Matthews 2017-12-24, 11:37 AMupdated 2017-12-24, 9:34 PM

These paintings by Riccardo Mayr depict Star Wars characters showing up in lost renaissance paintings.

To be clear, these are real antique paintings. And according to Mayr, by adding his own work into the 200-year old lost bits, he is restoring them while also presenting religious topics in a brand new light.

An inspiration from the past, an unexpected twist in our present, a proof for future generations.
