Director Rino Stefano Tagliafierro has created a short film by the name of Beauty that takes famous paintings throughout history and brings them to life through animation. Famous painters like Carravaggio, Rubens, Giordano, Repin, and more, receive this breathtaking treatment. It’s entrancing to see these paintings move, many of which show some of the most terrifying scenes ever put on canvas.
This video is a celebration of all that our history has seen. There’s romance, beauty, love and kindness mixed with horror, death, destruction, and pain. It’s an absolutely fascinating video that deserves to be seen and appreciated. It all culminates as a stunning accomplishment of introspection and wonder. It is a true vision of imagination that shows how much Tagliafierro honors and cherishes art, history and humanity.
If you’re as mesmerized by the video as I am, GIFs of many of the paintings can be found here.
