Russians stuck at home impersonating famous paintings is today’s best lockdown thing

John Plunkett. Updated April 6th, 2020

Never let it be said that the coronavirus lockdown hasn’t brought out the creativity in some people. And these Russians forced to stay at home, well it’s fair to say they got really, really creative, because they did this.

And it’s today’s favourite thing.

The "Isolation" Facebook group where Russians stuck at home impersonate famous paintings is by far the best thing to come out of the #coronavirus lockdown. I'm going to post my top 3 https://t.co/dy6yTTEVcb pic.twitter.com/yqM56lHrvV
