Man uses app to brighten up classical artworks

If you’ve ever visited the Louvre, the Vatican Museums or the National Gallery, you would’ve seen a lot – and we mean a lot – of classical paintings. And, if you looked close enough, you would’ve noticed a common theme – all the subjects depicted in the artworks look… well, grumpy.

So, when one Twitter user visited the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, he decided to brighten them up a little with the help of his phone. You can see the results for yourself in the gallery above – they will have you in hysterics.
