We Compared Paintings and Photos of Legendary Women From the 19th Century, and Now We Know All About
When we scroll through our social media feeds, we see hundreds of photos processed with photo editors. However, people tried to make their pictures look better in the past too. Though back then, retouching was done by portrait painters. So, we decided to compare paintings and photographs depicting legendary women of the 19th century.
Caroline Augusta of Bavaria, Empress of Austria
There's nothing denoting how many years passed between the painting and the photograph, if any.
Marietta Alboni, Italian opera singer
Victoria of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Empress of Germany
Louisa of the Netherlands, the wife of Charles XV of Sweden, Queen of Sweden
The eyes are not right, but the face shape and nose are great.
