Fresh Take: Paintings as Street View Maps



James Lileks turned two classic paintings, Boulevard Poissonnière in the Rain by Jean Béraud and River Landscape with Horseman and Peasants by Aelbert Cuyp, into Google street views. They’re so convincing that we tried to navigate both of them as you would an actual street view map.
"Paintings as Google Street View Maps. Took me a long time, so what was to be “first examples in a series” ended up as “why the hell am I doing this, really.”"
