Due to the elevated status of celebrities, we often forget that they are normal people, just like anyone else. But the glitz and glamour dazes us, and we forget that, if only for a moment. Same applies to famous historical personalities, and even to a greater extent: we can only see them through the works of (usually) great artists, and this dash of artistic genius always make these personalities look like demigods from a long-gone era of heroic men and women. But just like with celebrities, there's a reason to believe that they were normal regular people, despite their great achievements and stories about them.

Nevertheless, with the advent of AI-generated images, paintings are still the primary source and material for drawing inspiration for recreation.

Works of art transformed into something more.
