Here is the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as historical paintings

Life imitates art.

Aside from essential workers, we're all stuck inside right now. And what else is there to do other than compare your favorite culinary YouTubers to paintings throughout art history?

Meme account Meme Appetit posted a thread of each Test Kitchen staffer as a scene from art through the ages, from Dutch Baroque to Da Vinci's iconic Renaissance portraits to satirical American modernism.

The comparisons are all spot-on.

Life really does imitate art.
