If paintings wielded iPhones, what would their text messages sound like? This Happy Monday, we find out, courtesy of brilliantly witty Tumblr If Paintings Could Text. The blog collates a diverse selection of paintings from across the centuries and inserts silly and whimsical captions in an iPhone bubble, elaborating on the thoughts and conversations of their protagonists. From a Caravaggio boy, holding a wine glass, declaring, “I was going to clean my house but wine sounded better,” to David’s dead Marat in the bath pleading, “Don’t leave without me in the morning. I keep scaring everyone cause I’m sleeping in the bathtub,” we hope these inventive insights help to get your week off to the best of starts.
Happy Monday! #anotherhappymonday
