Superheroes Re-imagined as 16th Century Paintings
What would it look like if Superman was born in the 16th century? What if the Hulk was a Duke? These are the questions photographer Sacha Goldberger asked himself when he created this playful new series Super Flemish. Some of our favorite pop culture characters like Darth Vader and Snow White got the Flemish treatment as photos of them resembled 16th century paintings.
The whole project took Goldberger two years to complete with a year-and-a-half going towards preparation and the rest for retouching and creating prints. Twelve people were involved with the make-up, hair and special effects. Five costume designers made outfits specifically for this occasion. “Lots of the job was done before and during the shoot,” says Goldberer. “Pierrick and Sebastian, my digital retouchers, helped me to get the precision and the perfection I was looking for in this series.”
Just how much fun did he have creating these images? “All of it was
incredible, it was like a dream come true,” he said. “When you see the
Hulk in front of you and you ask him to look romantic, it's crazy. The
Joker was also very impressive. He endured three hours of make-up and
started to act like Heath Ledger in the movie, The Dark Knight.”

Jacki,
You've done it again! What an interesting blog: full of "eye candy" for certain. I looked at all the additional photos. I wonder who designed all the costumes that he used? The one minute video was so interesting too. I bet you are proud of those young relatives working so hard and so creatively in 4H. (It's really nice to have some good news in this world of today.)
What fun to see today's superheroes in these beautiful costumes. I really enjoyed it and i followed your link to see all of them.
"Blight" is totally the style I love. Thanks, Jacki for this delightful blog.
Thank you, Carrol! I did think about Sasha's art when I found it and remembered the gorgeous costumes you made for your daughter's ballet performances.
Thank for taking time to comment, I love it when you like it.
