Google Arts & Culture platform now allows you to take a "Selfie" and it will match it to a painting. Pretty Cool.
The Banquet of Ahasuerus,Aert de Gelder 1680s,From the collection of The J. Paul Getty Museum.
This painting shows a scene from the biblical Book of Esther, when, after seven days of feasting and drinking, King Ahasuerus drunkenly asks one of his eunuchs to summon the beautiful Queen Vashti. She refuses to appear, angering Ahasuerus and prompting him to dismiss her and choose Esther as his wife.
I'm the guy drinking with the cup to his mouth, not the eunuch.
Josiah Rose of Liverpool,Benjamin Marshallca. 1795,From the collection of Yale Center for British Art.
This guy doesn't look like me that much but the app is a blast.
