Gianluca Biscalchin's Illustrations Depict Artists in Quarantine
Illustrator Gianluca Biscalchin, known for his gastronomy-themed work, has created a series of playful illustrations showing famous artists from the 20th century (and beyond) wearing face masks and promoting the #iorestoacasa (I stay at home) slogan during the COVID-19 pandemic. The drawings feature Pablo Picasso at home in Antibes, Frida Kahlo in quarantine in Coyoacán, and Vincent van Gogh, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Claude Monet, all urging people to stay indoors to prevent the spread of the virus. Biscalchin's shift from culinary subjects to art history aims to provide companionship and encourage adherence to health guidelines. The illustrations were published on Artribune in March 2020.
