No matter the circumstances, you still gotta train the creative muscle. It doesn't take a whole lot. You pick an artwork, scoop up the most random stuff around the house, put yourself into a pose, and take a shot. The challenge has gone viral with museums asking people to recreate paintings at home and social media accounts in Spain and Russia sharing their own local takes on it. Check 'em out here and here.
This time, we are covering the “Tussen Kunst & Quarantaine” Instagram page from the Netherlands, which translates to “Between Art and Quarantine.” The account is said to have inspired the Getty Museum challenge, and looking at the posts, we can see why. From Munch’s “The Scream” made from ripe avocado to Michelangelo’s “The Creation of Adam” that perfectly summarizes lockdown couple goals, we've selected some of the best and most creative recreations below.

Run by the Dutch art lover Anneloes Officier, “Between Art and Quarantine” is approaching its two-month anniversary but shows no signs of slowing down. The project celebrates creativity and archives the most brilliant ways of recreating art in homemade setups. The page started with a pic featuring a remake of Vermeer‘s “Girl With a Pearl Earring” with garlic, a towel, and a place mat.
31-year-old Anneloes came up with the idea when her housemate, who had started working from home, asked if she could think of something fun for all the home workers. The woman told a local Dutch news page that she is sent about 30 pictures a day.
“People go to great lengths to recreate a painting as beautifully as possible. I feel a little guilty that I can't put everything up as quickly as possible; of course, there is also work to be done. Most pictures I put up during my break or on the weekend,” she said.

As in many countries, the museums in the Netherlands have also closed their doors since March 12 amid fears of virus spread. But on March 30, Reuters reported that thieves stole a painting by van Gogh from the currently closed Singer Laren Museum. The painting named “Lentetuin,” or “Spring Garden,” which dates back to 1884 and depicts the garden at Nuenen, was loaned from the Groninger Museum.
