We had fun trying FaceApp on 15 famous works of art


FaceApp is the app of the moment and everyone is using it: we wanted to have some fun too, subjecting fifteen famous works of art to the app’s dreaded filters. Disclaimer against the indignant comments that will arrive very punctually: we fully realize the stupidity and uselessness of this game, but at the same time we also inform you that all editorial offices take a quarter of an hour break every now and then. This gallery of ours was born, precisely, in a moment of pause, and since we found it amusing we thought we would share it. That’s it!
