Did you ever dream of being able to go back in time and see what the world looked like? And even more interestingly, what people looked like. We have an idea of the external appearance of famous figures like Vincent Van Gogh and Napoleon Bonaparte, for example. But despite the efforts of artists, paintings can rarely achieve the realism of photographs, as they are based on the painter’s subjective vision.

Here are the “current” versions of 13 prominent people in history. To see more of the artist's work visit his website or Instagram page.
