The Coronavirus pandemic may have caused anxiety and panic among general masses but one thing this disease and the lockdown was not able to take away from people is their sense of humor. They say there is no limit to human creativity. These times of quarantine and lockdown are now proving it to be true.
The J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles (or the Getty for short) challenged people to recreate their favorite works of art last month. Needless to say, Russians are having a blast recreating these historic art pieces, and looking at the pictures one must say, their work is worth commending.

There's a Russian poem 'Ded Mozai i zaytsi' meaning old man Mazay and hares. The premise is, during the spring flood, an old man is passing by remaining little islands in his boat, picking up hares, that got stranded there. It was very heartwarming. Don't know if the poem was inspired by the painting, or vise versa.
