In February 2012, photoshop site Worth1000 organized the 10th edition of their RoboRen contest, challenging digital artists to “take any work of art and robotize it”. The contest drew 13 entries, three of which were Remastered Bouguereaus. Of those, two were the highest scoring entries, taking Gold and Silver.

Shown above is the second-prize winner, based on Bouguereau’s L’admiration (Admiration, 1897), created by BrunoSousa. Below are all three Bouguereau-inspired entries in this contest. Click to visit the galleries where you will find many more contemporary versions of the original paintings.
