[Hana_N]

A couple by Miles Aldridge from marekandassociates.com not sure what paintings they look like, but they have a painting vibe.

wow, i absolutely love and adore this thread, this really made my day. it's wonderful, good job everyone posting pictures. I'm amazed! I especially like the ysl/manet one! I study art history myself and have found a few of celebrites looking like some old portrets, would that be ok posting or is it modelpics only?

 

[jml2]

^ I'd like to see your pics

ok this is not beautiful as the model pics/paintings you guys posted, but it is quite funny though

i was a bit amazed, and a bit disturbed, that John Singleton Copley painted a portrett of Jack Black in 1790....

and Millais "Ophelia" always reminded me of Kate Winslet
(in the original version the hair is way more red, doesn't show in the picture)

The "Jack Black" one (which really is a portrait of Paul Revere from the late 16th century), always makes me laugh

Incredible contributions everyone!!!!

This comparison doesn't work too well, but I see a similarity, or at least both works remind me of each other

These two have very little to do with one another, but they remind me of each other all the same

enough for me ruining the thread about model pics..(just got inspired cause of the essay on Munch that i'm currently writing . Keep those lovely model pics coming . really feeling the vibe between the reading painting and pic you posted tiffany.. it is nice with some that are not obviously inspired/copying a painting, but still has the same feeling

very very beautiful thread!
I especially like free reintrepretations of paintings, more than explicit and litteral referring.
this is awesome:

I SERIOUSLY need to know where this image came from! i'm going to use it in an essay, but i need a source for it other than this forum. i've looked everywhere and can't seem to find ANY information on this image.
PLEASE HELP!!! any info would be greatly appreciated.
karma to you all

p.s. i love this thread!!!

dread - the yves saint laurent logo is in the bottom right corner...

 

[dreadfull]

i know it's Yves Saint Laurent, but I can't find any other information on it. I've done a lot of searching and it's just a really hard image to find. I'm wondering what year and season it is from etc. etc.

 

[Pinky*]

well kate moss did rive gauche campaigns in '92 and '98..
and from that ad, its definately a A/W collection
