Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln is the 16th US President—no, he is not a vampire hunter like what the movie and novel depict. He was a smart statesman and a lawyer who served the nation in the 1860s. He was the one who led the country through its “greatest moral, constitutional, and political crisis in the American Civil War.”
If he were still alive today, he would look every inch of a statesman. His stand speaks of confidence, someone you will always respect. He, too, seems to be a Hollywood A-lister, who can go head-to-head against the likes of Paul Hogan and Chuck Norris.
Duchess of Devonshire
Georgina Cavendish was the Duchess of Devonshire, married to the 5th Duke of Devonshire, William Cavendish, in the late 1700s. But aside from her captivating beauty, she was also a political organizer, author, and activist. Of course, it was quite expected she was a socialite and a style icon of her time.
There were reports that Georgina had “mild ties” to the late Princess Diana. But unlike the People’s Princess, she was famous for her activism and write-ups. If she was born today, she had an unparalleled beauty that belonged to the Hollywood glamour. However, to some degree, she had a life full of tragedies, just like Princess D.
Catherine of Aragon
Catherine of Aragon seemed to have a complicated love story, not to mention a lot of hardships. She was the Queen of England from 1509 to 1533 as the first wife of King Henry III. However, she was previously the Princess of Wales as the wife of Henry’s elder brother, Arthur. We just did not know if divorce lawyers were already a thing at the time.
Anyhow, before we delve into their complicated story, let us see Catherine’s stunning image if she were in this modern world. She looked every inch of a glamorous artist, ready to conquer the world with her captivating beauty.
Caligula
Caligula was the third Roman emperor, the son of the Roman general Germanicus and Agrippina the Elder, Augustus’s granddaughter. His bust alone looked like a villain, and it seemed to be true as a lot of people back then hated him so much that they even planned for his death.
This aura was even captured in his modern image. By a certain degree, he looked like a prince, but a prince like King Joffrey from the fictional hit TV series Game of Thrones, played by Jack Gleeson. Anyhow, it could never be denied that he was indeed handsome, but, as they said, never be deceived by someone’s looks.
Empress Elisabeth Of Austria
Aside from being an empress of Austria, Elisabeth was also the Queen of Hungary when he married Emperor Franz Joseph I. She had an unconventional upbringing before she tied the knot with an emperor at a tender age of 16.She was known for her incredible love for the arts. She joined several artistic pursuits, and she was quite good at it. If she were given a chance, she might get a degree in arts for she was good at ballet, literature, music, and even architecture. Elisabeth was indeed a beauty and brain. She looked like a goddess in her modern image – an angel born in the early 1800s.
Julius Caesar
Julius Caesar is a historical figure who needs no introduction. Anyhow, for a refresher, he was a former Roman consul who had a critical role in the events that resulted in the demise of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman Empire. He was also part of a political alliance that dominated Roman politics.
In his modern image, he looked like someone who would do business, a man who runs a company, not a man who would change the world. Although he seemed to have softer features, we all know looks could deceive. To a certain degree, we all know that his power was in his mind.
King Henry VIII
King Henry VIII was the former King of England from 1509 to 1547. Aside from being the monarch, he was also famously known for having six marriages. He was also famous for exerting great efforts to have his first marriage annulled. We wonder if he needed an attorney at the time.
Although he seemed like a lover boy, he was someone that nobody should mess up with. Well, that was if we would follow history. He was known for consolidating his power to make sure that nobody would get on his way. This could even be seen in his modern image, carrying that stern look that no one should ever disturb when not needed.
Queen Nefertiti
Queen Nefertiti is maybe one of the most beautiful historical figures. She is a Great Royal Wife of Akhenaten, who was an Egyptian Pharaoh, and was known not just for her beauty but for starting a religious revolution, alongside her husband.
Just like other historical figures from the BC era, the artist had no real image of her to use. It was only her bust and face statue where they could try to get her appearance. However, they managed to perfectly capture her appearance, looking like a real queen from the early days. She had the beauty of Naomi Campbell and Angelina Jolie, which means she could get the credit for being a model or an actress today.
King Tut
King Tut, or also known as Tutankhamun ( pronounced as Tutankhamen), is an ancient Egyptian pharaoh. He was the last member of his royal family that ruled during the end of the 18th dynasty. At the time, it was already the New Kingdom of Egyptian history.
However, King Tut was said to be a young king during his reign, so the photoshop experts needed to consider this factor. But they would never be called experts for nothing, as they perfectly managed to capture his image, and we should give them credits for that. By its looks, King Tut appeared a very handsome young teenager ready to win young girls’ hearts.
Alexander the Great
Alexander the Great was the king of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon. Hence, he was also called Alexander III of Macedon. He was born in Pella in 356 BC, a member of the Argead dynasty. At an early age of 20, he already succeeded his father, Philip II, to the throne.
In his modern image, Alexander looked like a young boy from the 1980s to a certain degree. He had curly and unmanageable hair and an innocent look. He, too, had unmatching eye color, although we really could not say if it were accurate as the artists only based the image to a bust.
