If you’re going to recreate a massively famous painting in live action, you might as well do it right.

Well, Michelangelo’s “The Creation of Adam” — that one painted on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel — is pretty much as daunting a challenge as you could get.

These Redditors certainly did it proud, though:

That was image posted in the r/pics sub on Tuesday. It’s since been upvoted over 94,000 times.

The guy who shared it (he’s the one on the left in the image) took to the comments to answer a few questions, too.

It’ll surely be a while before you see this much money being thrown around again.

Leonardo da Vinci’s 500-year-old painting “Salvator Mundi” has broken the record for the most expensive artwork ever sold at auction, selling for an eye-watering $450,312,500, including buyer fees.

A crowd packed into the Christie’s saleroom in New York City gasped as the price jumped from $332 million to $350 million in one bid. Then again from $370 million to its final cost of $400 million, in a bidding war lasting just under 20 minutes. Read more…
