In celebration of Earth Hour, FreakingNews organized a photoshop contest in which participants were invited to turn the lights off in famous paintings and movie posters. The contest drew 34 entries, four of which were Remastered Bouguereaus. The second prize went to AZRainman, who created a wonderful new version of Bouguereau’s 1900 work Avant le bain (Before the Bath).

Below are all four Bouguereau-inspired contest entries. Click each to visit the galleries where you can discover many more contemporary versions of the original paintings.
