The Getty Challenge
What is the Getty Challenge? COVID and quarantine of 2020 & 2021 gave people the opportunity to make some recreations of great art. When we are bored, great things can happen.
The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and an instagram account @Betweenartandquarantine challenged the world to recreate great art from the masters. People could search the online archives of museum collections of the Getty, The Metropolitan and Art Institute of Chicago for great artworks to recreate. And over the several months of quarantine throughout the world, the art sensation went viral.
