This portrait of British singer Amy Winehouse [wiki] was created by mateusarc for the 12th edition of the Modern Renaissance contest on Worth1000. Digital artists were challenged to “put any modern celebrity, actor or popular culture figure as a substitute for the model of a painting or other form of artwork“. The contest drew no less than 65 entries, two of which were Remastered Bouguereaus. The portrait of Amy Winehouse is a contemporary version of William Bouguereau’s famous 1890 painting Bohémienne (The Bohemian).

Below you can compare the two versions. Click the first image to visit the gallery where you will find many more remastered versions of the original painting (including portraits of Scarlett Johansson, Alicia Keys, Julie Louis-Dreyfus and Angelina Jolie). Click the second to view the image on Worth1000.
