In March 2020, the Getty Museum in Los Angeles issued a challenge on its blog "to re-create your favorite art using just three objects lying around home," part of an effort to keep people engaged with art while stuck at home. We decided to join the thousands of people posting quarantine art re-creations on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram (#betweenartandquarantine)...
Pietro da Niccolò da Orvieto, Virgin and Child, ca. 1455 (Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge).
Duccio di Buoninsegna, Christ & the Samaritan Woman, formerly part of the Maestà, ca. 1311 (Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid).
Jan Vermeer, Girl with a Pearl Earring, ca. 1665 (Mauritshuis, The Hague).
Giotto di Bondone, Ognissanti Madonna, ca. 1310 (Uffizi Gallery, Florence).
Giotto di Bondone (?), St Francis Preaching to the Birds, predella of St Francis Receiving the Stigmata, ca. 1300 (Musée du Louvre, Paris).
