Have you ever imagined historical figures as modern-day people? Well, Becca Saladin has imagined this thing and the results are simply amazing. She is the creator of Royalty Now and an American designer. She has gained nearly 262k followers with her amazing artwork.
She says, “the first book my dad read to me about history was a fictionalized young adult version of the Anne Boleyn story. I became obsessed with Tudor history after that”.“I loved Pompeii, ancient Egyptian mummies, and anything else that helped me feel close to the people of the past. I think that is why I enjoy making the recreations so much.”
She was inspired by the artistic work of Anne Boleyn. “I’ve always loved Photoshop and what a powerful tool it is. So, I decided to try and recreate some of my own and then just kept going,” said Becca.
