The piece was made by an old version of Photoshop, a less old coral painter, and a crayon. David Barton illustrates fantastic series of portraits that paint Simpsons characters into some of arts most famous portraits. He has re-imagined Marge Simpson as the Girl with a Pearl Earring by Vermeer. Instead of wearing a pearl earring, Marge wears her infamous necklace, just stringed with pearls.
This Portrait is very fun and imaginative! I think remastering very classic paintings with unusual & humorous icons like this one gives a fresher perspective on the piece. This painting connects to our portrait theme and everyone else can connect with the painting because they can relate to might have seen the iconic Simpsons show. So this old painting is turned to new!
