50 Classical Painting Mashups By Norro Bey That Mix Art History With Modern World And Pop Culture

Add as a preferred source on Google

There’s no shortage of people making art on the internet, but every once in a while someone comes up with an angle that’s specific enough to feel original.

Artist Norro Bey takes classical paintings, the kind you’d walk past in a museum and nod at respectfully without really stopping, and drops pop culture icons directly into them. The Joker in the Sistine Chapel. Freddie Mercury painted like a 17th-century portrait. Spider-Man in an Edward Hopper scene. The blending is seamless enough that most of these look like they could’ve always been that way. He’s got a whole catalog of these worth stopping for
