Rowan Atkinson, the actor behind the famously
hilarious Mr. Bean and Blackadder characters, has made another foray into the
pages of history thanks to caricature artist Rodney Pike. He took some of
history’s most famous portraits and jazzed them up by replacing the original
subjects’ faces with those of Atkinson’s unforgettable characters.
Artistic purists may not appreciate Pike’s comical
work because it’s hard to take the works of Rembrandt van Rijn or Holbein the
Younger seriously when the subject’s face has been replaced with a hilariously
expressive scowl from Mr. Bean. Obviously, Pike’s work is entirely digital –
the original works remain untouched! Read on for Rodney Pike’s comments to
Bored Panda. “I’ve
created over 40 photo-manipulations using Rowan Atkinson for the main subject
over the course of 3 or 4 years and he is by far my most popular subject,”boredpanda
