Hungarian artist Bence Hajdu has a new take on the old masters: simply remove the figures and leave the scenery.
So we have David’s “Oath of the Horatii” sans the Horatii; (above) Leonardo without the last supper and so on.
Yet another example of modern art’s engagement with the old masters, which continues to both intrigue and baffle me.

The story revolves around a seasoned con man (Affleck) who takes on an up-and-comer (Stewart) to teach her the ways of a good grift. "I can confirm that rumor," she told the Huffington Post. "It's a comedy. I'm really excited about it. We start shooting in April." But with April still a few months away, she added she "would love to find some micro-project before then."
