Auto-Repair Workers Recreate Works of Renaissance Artists Including Michelangelo and Rembrandt for Quirky Picture Series

A holy lunch break: Chicago-based photographer Freddy Fabris has re-imagined the scenes of Renaissance artworks as photographs of mechanics going about their day, including this revamp of The Last Supper

A photographer has brought the Renaissance era into the modern day with a comedic twist by re-imagining famous scenes from the period’s most iconic artworks using auto mechanics as his models.
