Art once was the only way for people to capture the world they saw around them. But nowadays we have a very accessible option to do it with our phones. And while most moments we snap with our cameras aren’t museum-worthy, sometimes when the lighting blesses us and we strike a dramatic pose, they start to accidentally resemble art pieces straight out of the Renaissance period.
We compiled many of these instances in a virtual museum below, courtesy of the Accidental Renaissance subreddit. Scroll down to embark on your tour, and don’t forget to upvote those images that could rival the greatest Renaissance artists.
