Art history just took a turn for the bizarre. Artist Hillary White excels at turning classic art on its head.

Based on: "A Virgin with a Unicorn"
Created by Baroque painter Domenico Zampieri, "A Virgin with a Unicorn" is a fresco that still resides in the Farnese Palace in Italy. Some art historians attribute the work to Annibale Carracci, Domenico's teacher, claiming the latter plagiarized his teacher's work.

"Whistler's Turtle"

Based on: "Whistler's Mother"
Officially titled "Arrangement in Grey and Black No.1," "Whistler's Mother" was completed in 1871 by American painter James McNeill Whistler. Victorians had specific sensibilities about what constituted a proper portrait. Whistler's muted color palette and seated subject were not up to snuff, hence the clunky moniker in order to get it shown to the public.
