30 Times People Took Photos And They Ended Up Looking Like Renaissance Paintings
Bulky cameras, lenses, film, and SD cards are slowly becoming a thing of the past since nowadays almost all of us have a smartphone in our pockets that we use to snap numerous pictures every day without really thinking about it. And while many of them are nothing more than snapshots of homework or cats that we spotted on the street, sometimes we end up accidentally producing pictures that would make any renaissance artist’s jaw drop in awe.
People over at the r/AccidentalRenaissance subreddit are sharing examples of the oil painting-like photos they’ve accidentally captured, and some of them look like they’re taken straight out of the Louvre. Check out some amazing examples of “accidental renaissance” in the gallery below!
