A new exhibition at The National Gallery (London): Renaissance Faces: Van Eyck to Titian. From 15 October 2008 to 18 January 2009. What is interesting about this art show is that “Many of the pictures bear striking resemblance to some of the contemporary celebrities who adorn our newspapers, suggesting that, in 500 years, certain facial types have changed very little” (excerpt from TimesOnline. Read Full Article.) -Adriana de de Barros, from Scene 360 Illusion

these kind of similarities aren’t too suprising. Humanity hasn’t changed that much genetically in a few hundred years. But I do find it interesting that their political leaders and major stars and in Eyck’s paintings.
