Due to the elevated status of celebrities, we often forget that they are normal people, just like anyone else. But the glitz and glamour dazes us, and we forget that, if only for a moment. Same applies to famous historical personalities, and even to a greater extent: we can only see them through the works of (usually) great artists, and this dash of artistic genius always make these personalities look like demigods from a long-gone era of heroic men and women. But just like with celebrities, there’s a reason to believe that they were normal regular people, despite their great achievements and stories about them.
This is why I wanted to take another look at these historical personalities and try to imagine them as if they lived in modern times. One of the perks of modern times is that everybody’s fashion doesn’t tell as much about their social status as it once did, and it makes them look equal, like you and me.
