Until time travel is invented, there’s no real way of knowing how certain historical figures actually looked like in person, and we can only rely on old paintings and written descriptions. However, for Dallas-based artist Becca Saladin, this is not enough. Since 2019, the artist has been creating realistic versions of historical persons with her own unique twist – she reimagines them as modern-day people.
The series is titled Royalty Now, and Becca says it all started when she decided to recreate a portrait of Anne Boleyn to simply satisfy her own curiosity. Fast forward to this day, and the artist has over 300k Instagram followers who can’t wait to see her latest recreation.
