Superhero and movie characters reimagined as 16th century figures
Classic movie and comic book characters are often known by their iconic costume design. But one artist reimagined some of our most cherished fictitious friends if they had lived in 16th century England.
Artist Sacha Goldberger composed several portraits of iconic comic book superheroes and movie characters as if they were 16th century characters. Goldberger describes the inspiration for the project at his website.
"These characters have become icons to reveal their humanity: tired of having to save the world without respite, promised to a destiny of endless immortality, forever trapped in their character. The superheroes often live their lives cloaked in anonymity. These portraits give them a chance to fix their narcissism denied. By the temporal disturbance they produce, these images allow us to discover, under the patina of time, an unexpected melancholy of those who are to be invincible"
Check out Goldberger's portraits in the gallery above. You can see more of his work at the link below.
