As museums and galleries have closed due to the spread of coronavirus, people still need to find a way to get that artsy fix. And Spain, the second worst-hit country in the world, is no exception.
The land of Don Quixote is buzzing with quarantined people who are taking the arts and crafts game to the next level. The Facebook group “Quearteencasa” invites everyone to join the real-life painting recreation challenge. The group description says that all you need to do is to pick a favorite painting and recreate it with household items. And some of the entries look so real you'd better look twice at La Gioconda’s cheeky smile. Yep, it's a neighbor from the top floor, nailing the Renaissance look like she was born in Cinquecento. I'm adding this to my lockdown entertainment menu.
After you’re done, check out some more hilarious painting recreations by quarantined people here and here.
