Stefano Bolcato re-creates classic works with LEGO minifigures

Stefano Bolcato is an artist with a LEGO interest, and has recently launched a new series of paintings – People. Each piece is based on a classic piece of art, painted in oil with LEGO minifigures taking the place of the original subjects. A careful eye has been given to maintaining details from the original paintings.

Konbini reports that People is currently on display at the Archeology Museum of Salerno in Italy.
