<p>In his ongoing series&nbsp;<em>Art History in Contemporary Life</em>, Ukrainian artist&nbsp;<a href="https://weburbanist.com/2015/06/07/high-art-hits-streets-classical-paintings-in-modern-settings/" target="_blank">Alexey Kondakov</a>&nbsp;continues to document a fictional world in which ancient figures find themselves transplanted into modern cityscapes.</p>

<p>Among his hacks:&nbsp;Cesar van Everdingen&rsquo;s <em>Bacchus</em>, Caravaggio&rsquo;s <em>David and Goliath</em> and William-Adolphe Bouguereau&rsquo;s <em>Nymphs and Satyr,&nbsp;</em>all hacked to fit into new times and places.</p>

<p>The scenes are so expertly edited&nbsp;it is left to the figures themselves to stand out from each setting through their actions or attire. Madonna, child and lamb are, for instance, a bit of a strange find in an old apartment staircase and cherubs generally aren&rsquo;t seen on the Earthly plane, at least by ordinary&nbsp;people.</p>
