Which was your favorite re-creation of 2022?
Anne of Cleves!
My favorite is Alexander the Great. I wish you would do one of Charles V (Charlemagne), Holy Roman Emperor and ancestor of many of us.
Anne Boleyn for me
Ann of Cleves
I also love the background music used when she was presented can you provide us with the song name and artist?
Lincoln. Hands down.
I really liked the Anne of Cleve's recreation. I always felt she got a raw deal, starting with the portrait that Henry saw before he met her. I think she was the most interesting and clever of all his wives, considering she was able to keep her head (literally) and befriend Henry to the point where he called her "sister", and gave her a house and money. Henry could be very unpredictable and downright vicious. Anne of Cleves is my favorite of the 6 wives.
I totally agree. Henry made a big mistake by letting her go. I'm sure he regretted it.
~ Anne was the luckiest, she left the short marriage with her head intact and a big financial settlement of money and land. Plus she outlived that ogre & all his wives. 💛
Anne of Cleves is my fav too! My second fav is Catherine Parr.
She’s my fav too , I think she was beautiful
6!!!
My favorite-Anne Boleyn. Your re-creation emphasizes her beautiful dark eyes, a feature she was especially known for. It’s no surprise she was admired throughout her life and obsessively desired by Henry. Bringing her to life as you have shows a beautiful and clever woman who knew how to make the most of what she was born with. It’s sad to think of her end, but we must remember she gave birth to one of England’s greatest rulers. In that, she left a great legacy.
The last actress to play her didn't just have beautiful black eyes she had beautiful black skin aswell as now black actresses can play this white queen.
@@salliewagenblatt5188 I immediately thought how good Oona Chaplin would be to play her after seeing this.
@@salliewagenblatt5188....noooooo
@@salliewagenblatt5188 no and it flop to
Ann Boleyn. Had an emotional reaction to her smile. In these recreations, you feel their humanity and vulnerability. Hard to imagine from images frozen in time.
The beauty and tragic figure Marie Antoinette, she has been so horribly vilified by the French for actions she never took, and falsely accused of deeds she never committed. I have such empathy for her! Also I love the Anne of Cleves portrait the one wife who not only survived but outlived the tyrant!!! Ann of Cleves has a special place in history.
Who would have thought that Marie Antoinette and Drew Barrymore would echo each other?
I think she was treated unfairly. She wasn't expected to marry as well as her sisters since she was youngest and so didn't receive as a good of an education as her sisters. Was only considered because her older sisters were pox marked or dead. Was married at 14, queen at 19, with no real instructions on how to run the country. Was blamed for the poor financial decisions of her husband and his advisors.
Anne and Anne
i admired her I have many pictures of her and other items. She was just a child
I agree
Seeing Abe Lincoln smile feels like a Christmas gift to me. Love all your work! Happy Holidays!
Thank you!! Happy holidays!
@@RoyaltyNowStudios Make Charlamagne Jan Zizka and Cyrus the great
It would be interesting to have you take a painting of someone currently living... And do you recreation and see how close it comes to the living person.
This is an excellent idea please try it thx
Yes!
Yes!!!
That would be so great! he could maybe do that with Kate dutchess of cambridge, that would be a great example
Anne of Cleves is (to me) the best recreation you’ve ever done! She seems so life-like and alive, even when it’s just a photoshopped image. It’s so surreal to see historical figures come to life and i can’t wait to see what you’ll create in 2023!
This is so much more than Photoshop. Each of these recreations is the result of great talent as well as skill.
@@acswebb Yes yes I know!! I wasn’t trying to disregard talent, I’m just saying it’s crazy how alive and full of life these pictures are!
@@elletokif go
My favorite from this group was Pocahontas, because there was so little information to work with on her appearance and gathering what is known of her, you managed to create someone who was such a beauty! My other current favorites have been the Romanov children. I feel since those videos were released recently, they didn't garner up the views to make the Top 10 but those were amazing as well.
I loved the Romanov children as well. And yes definitely because it was released recently. Maybe I can sneak it into next years top 10 :)
Anne of Cleves is absolutely stunning. Nothing I will say regarding her intelligence have not been repeated by other comments already, so I will only comment on the more superficial aspect of her - she is absolutely beautiful. Her face is the embodiment of tranquility, it just has that amazing quality that captivates you and invites you to want to know more about what she is thinking.
Yes! I could see why she was regarded as "ugly", but to me she seems so pretty!
I also think her hair is hot.
I guess nowadays we tend to more overcome details and look at the overall beauty of the face and also the spirit in the eyes. Back then, they might have regarded more things as "ugly".
The fact she looks incredibly beautiful here and was known as "the ugly wife" makes me think the recreation is clearly not accurate. They would have known better than we do.
Ann Boleyn is my favorite and most interesting queen in my opinion. Unfortunately, she was too ahead of her time back in those days. I really enjoyed watching her portrait come to life. I believe that she tried so hard in her marriage, but was too hot blooded. I’m that way and a lot of men can’t handle it. For her to lose her husband, title, reputation, child and other unborn babies, plus her life in just a short span of only 3 years, it just breaks my heart.
I thought Anne Boleyn would be No. 1. She's my favorite. Love her jaunty smile/laugh. I think of her as a vivacious person & this captures it. My next favorite is Lincoln. You captured his melancholy nature. Love you work.
Anne Boleyn...her wide smile..you made her eyes sparkle. Very personable appearance.
How about Korean royalty? King Sejong would be awesome! He developed the written language (Hangul) that vastly improved literacy among the common Korean people.
These are so beautifully done. Corny to say this but it brings these people to life. Easier to relate to these than just a picture. Thank you!
Thank you so much ❤️
@@RoyaltyNowStudios can you do Charles Sumner
Anne Boleyn is always intriguing and her story is haunting
Love Anne Boleyn but partly because when you made her smile, it was a full open mouth smile which made her seem warmer and friendlier.
Not gonna lie. The living image of Alexander The Great gave me chills. WOW
Princess Beatrice really looks like Queen Victoria
Oh yes! 100% agree, Princess Beatrice was the 1st person that came to mind when looking at Victoria’s Recreation.
It's the eyes I think. Possibly an over active thyroid.
Joseph Bologna was a surprise to me, I had never heard of him and had to share his story with the music teacher at the school I teach at. Love the Anne Boleyn recreate…If she was alive now, she could have divorced that jerk Henry and moved on to a better life. Anne of Cleves…She’s my hero from divorcing Henry, keeping her head and the house(S) and then some, of which she had before she even set eyes on H. Anyway, I just love this channel and would love to see more i.e. what did Medusa 😮look like, if she was real Saraswati, Change e’ the Chinese moon goddess or Charles Dickens, Sojourner Truth and what did Artemisia Gentileschi look like? I wonder. Thank you, for the recreates and looking forward to more in 2023. May 2023 send you great vibes, happiness and abundance 🎊
Hans Holbein’s paintings are very realistic and accurate. The image produced here of Anne of Cleves is undoubtedly exactly as she would have looked in real life. Quite stunning.
I don't have a favorite. I think all your recreations are amazing. It is especially remarkable when you add the final element of animation. It is like the images step out from the canvas or stone and one can glimpse a flash of the soul of the subjects from the annuls of history. Truly fascinating. You are a great talent. I enjoy your narrations from History as much as your works. Thank you!
Awesome work! I'm so glad Anne of Cleves took the top as she's my favorite of the six wives and my favorite recreation. I think my second fav recreation would be Pocahontas. I absolutely love what you did with that. My third fav would probably be your recent recreations of the Romanov sisters. Looking forward to more in 2023!
My favorite was Mary queen of Scots. It was nice after reading so much about her to see her come to life. Thank you!
I have enjoyed them all. Beautifully done. However, Abraham Lincoln is one of my favorites. What he endured and what he accomplished is remarkable. Carol from California
My fave is Alexander the Great. You really gave him more personality than I would have expected
I love all your work. Best of everything in 2023!
Why is it that I can listen to you all day everyday? You have such a calming voice. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication all year. Have a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year
Love the Anne Boleyn and Anne of Cleves recreations! They're all fabulous though!
Truly amazing…the beautiful graphics (HOW DO YOU DO IT???) along with amazing historical background told in a wondrous narration. Great job all around!
I loved them all, but the Annes, Elizabeth, and Lincoln were just astonishing. Lincoln's personality is vividly apparent in your work, which packs a huge emotional wallop for me, given his contributions. I found it fascinating that you can see echoes of her mother in Elizabeth 1st's nose! And cracked me up that Alexander the Great looked like a Heisman Trophy winner. Truly blown away by your work... new subscriber, now a tad obsessed! Trotting off to see if youve done any others,,,, DiVinci would be snazzy!
I love the first portrait of Anne Boleyn. It's such a lovely picture of her and the way you made her smile shows such an amazing young woman full of fun, wit and intelligence. She's also my first cousin 15 times removed so I have a special connection to her too, which makes her my favourite, lol. :)
How do you know she is your cousin
@@isarensen9206 I'm descended from the Howards and have the family tree to show for it. :)
@@DevonExplorer omg I would like to know too if I have royal family. How do you do that?
Hey Cousin! Anne Boleyn is also my 1st cousin 15 times removed!
@@elajayhandmade7782 Oh wow, brilliant! Lovely to meet you, Ela. :)
these are fantastic but the eye movements are SO eerie! looking forward to seeing more recreations in the new year!
Would be interesting to see Anne Boleyn and Queen Elizabeth side by side.
What Amazing work you do. Thank you so much; difficult to choose. I must say, to see the smile on Abraham Lincoln's face truly touched my heart.
My favorite is the recreation of Pocahontas. It’s amazing how you do all of these and I love watching them.
Yeah they make her look much younger then in the portrait and improve her look too.
You make me feel like I am looking at the real, living, breathing (almost) persons. Bringing history to life.....thank you.
Enjoy your channel. My favorite is Ann Boleyn. Still can't understand why she is still getting dumped on. Most misunderstood woman in history!
And especially since she gave birth to England's most famous and beloved Queen.
The problem with the recreation of Anne of Cleves is that we are basing it off of Holbein’s portrait of her, which apparently was embellished to make her look prettier than she was. Holbein was specifically hired to paint portraits of the king’s prospective wives and send them back to England so that Henry could choose the prettiest one. When Henry saw what she really looked like he said she was “repulsive.” Henry felt he had been deceived. Instead of blaming the artist though, Henry blamed the one who had hired Holbein, Thomas Cromwell. He accused him of treason and had him beheaded. So we will never know if this is what Anne of Cleves truly looked like.
I don't agree. Holbein would have been crazy to paint an unrealistic portrait of a person Henry would have seen eventually. Henry's negative reaction to Anne was based in part on her failure to recognize him as the king when he surprised her with an unscheduled visit en route to the prearranged meeting place. There is also the very real phenomenon of "chemistry," the presence of physical attraction to another person, or the glaring lack of it. Anne also spoke very little English, so communication would have been frustrating. Perhaps she lacked charm, that elusive quality some people have, or she had a subdued personality. Henry liked to pick his own women, and he liked them to be vivacious. And Anne was just a political match. So, no, I don't think Anne was less good looking than that portrait. There are other reasons for his petulant rejection of her. Later, after the divorce, Anne was close to Henry's family and appeared at court often, so she couldn't have been too repulsive! And other people didn't describe her as lacking in good looks.
I adore these recreations so much!!! Amazing work 😍😍👏👏👏
My favorites from the top ten are Lincoln and Alexander the Great. But the episode that touched me the most was on Vincent Van Gogh.
Wow, that was so cool. Anne Boleyn was my favorite. Although you gave her a beautiful smile I’m not too sure her teeth would’ve looked so nice and healthy. Bravo to your work, cheers.
Thanks to the Cleopatra Episode, I found this channel. Thank you for your beautifully researched videos which have been so much fun. Also, shoutout to Andre the Editor.
Pocahontas was my favourite. It was the first video I watched from your channel and I instantly subscribed. Love your work!
Thank you! Pocahontas is one of my personal favorites
Anne Boleyn and Alexander the Great would have had beautiful babies together!
I adore the Marie Antoinette one, I can see the idealized portrait come alive, amazing!
I would be interested to see William the conqueror in a future video. None the less this is one of the most interesting channels I’ve come across on UA-cam, great job! I praise your work in these videos, and the details and research. UA-cam is lucky to have creators like you!
You really are seriously talented! I find the animation surprisingly moving for some reason. Thank you!
These re-creations, and the stories that accompany them, are so fascinating to me. Thank you so much for what you do.
I greatly admire your work, both narration & facial art work. Thankyou SO much.
I almost cried when Lincoln smiled. ❤
I love your channel! Thanks for giving us this recap of "The Greatest Hits of 2022"!
This channel is so amazing I’m really so glad it came up in my feed! Amazing information and insight!
I am so excited that I came across you channel.... You are amazing and I too love all history. Thank you for giving us a glimpse of these amazing people......
Just tuned in for the first time and I love how you make these people more alive and real!
Love this channel. Don’t want it to ever end. Fascinating ❤
I love your series! Your Recreations are done with obvious care.
Thank you, I love this comment. That’s what I always try to do ❤️
Absolutely fascinating! How AMAZING to see the recreations of the ancient figures like Hadrian and Alexander. Thoroughly enthralled with this channel!! ,
My favorite recreations are from statues, but they are all amazing!
Keep
Doing this kind of
Work! I find it fascinating.
These recreations are beautiful!
*Thank you for such a great video as usual. You are truly talented.*
The recreation animation you do with these ‘people’ is phenomenal. I keep wanting the animation to continue. It’s almost as if I could speak to them. To bad you couldn’t write an AI program for that: take a close stab at their voice, manner of speech, have them speak in their native tongue(with subtitles at the bottom), in the ‘language’ of their time, have enough information about them and their time that someone could actually have a conversation with them. I know it would be a HUGH program. But I think it would be worth it! ❤️
I have really enjoyed all these videos, and I loved how they all came to life ,,, Thank You,. Xxxxx ❤
You really do bring history to life!!!!
Thank you for your great content! Merry Christmas!
The recreations are magical. I am amazed and humbled by these people. I see President Lincoln smile, and I am in tears. Thank you for this fine work. i appreciate it.
These are all so amazing! It really brings them to life, and makes them seem so much more like real people instead of the flat 2 dimensional paintings we've seen! I was especially fascinated by the way it changed Lincolns face when they made him smile!😍
Thank you so much for bringing them all back to life.. it actually feels like each one of them said thank you for bringing us back so that they could what the world it is like now.. wow.. keep up the good work..
Thank you UA-cam for finding this masterpiece for me ❤️
Subscribed and in love with your work
They are all amazing Becca, Hard to pick just one, you and your team are top notch at what you do, always looking forward to seeing what's next, all the very best & merry Christmas to you all.
Thank you so much ❤️
I honestly love these because I makes me feel more connected or interested in these people... I think that the paintings and sculptures are wonderful but there's just something that a recreation captures that makes me feel like I can truly see this person now
These are absolutely incredible. Ty so much!!
I love that you created them with a smile. Historical figures are so often depicted so coldly, we forget they were real people with smiles just like us!
I love them all. I recently found out that I'm related to Ann Boleyn, and obviously Queen Elizabeth through my mothers maternal line, and loved that you have them all smiling.
Ann Boleyn's smile is amazing, lets hope he smiled more as they always seem so grim in pictures
Hi! Perfect top 10 for the Year! For me it’s hard to choose a Favorite they are all truly Remarkable and Amazing Figures Of History! Your Work was a Beautiful Tribute bringing them back to Life for Us to get to know them Closely and more Intimately was a Treasure! Thank you for sharing all your hard efforts and incredible work to Us that we can Enjoy over and over again! Brava to-you and your team! A truly Splendid Year! 👏🏻😍💁♀️
Thank you so much! We can’t wait for all the subjects next year
They are all brilliant , WELL DONE, these reconstructions make them all seem so real 👏
I can't choose a favorite as of yet. To bring these portraits to life helps me to put history into perspective. The artistry of the transformations is beautiful work, IMO.
Abraham Lincoln and Pocahantas are real standouts in this magnificent collection. Your work is genius.
Love this..absolutely amazing!
10 was my favorite but I love them all....Thank You. 😊😘❤
I loved each and every one of your portraits.
I am presently reading edward spencer beesly's 1892 biography of Queen Elizabeth and your brilliant work has really brought her character into focus. Thank you.
I truly love your videos. Well done!
Love the history you provide. I love the recreation of Marie Antoinette. Would love to see you do Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg.
I understand why Marie Antoinette, Anne Boleyn and Anne of Cleves made it into the top three. The reconstruction videos with a good portion of history lesson have been very moving and touching somehow. Even as an adult man I almost cried at the end of each video. 😆I might add the Romanovs to it. Keep up the good work!
I love your work SO much. Thank you.
Watching President Lincoln coming to life, the depth in his eyes, was so impressive. I enjoy them all but that is my favorite.
Also, I can't help but notice how much Princess Beatrice looks like her ancestor Queen Victoria, wow!
Hi, great historical video on people brought back to life history.
This excellent , amazing, incredible video made me fall in love with Anne Boleyn ❤
When they smile, it’s next level! Amazing!
New fun of this program. I found ut to be very informative and interesting. Thank you.
Thank you for all your amazing recreations. Ny fave was queen Marie Antoinette💜👋
I need more history content!! Royalty Now is my favorite history channel on UA-cam.
Queen Ann Boleyn is my favorite .all beautiful too .good work thank you .
Wow!! Absolutely fantastic figures.💯🎊Congratulations!!
I loved Ann of Cleves. I did not see the original Abraham Lincoln, but when his face came to life, I suddenly found myself sobbing. Thank you.
You did such a great work! It's a real art. It would be very interesting to see a similar video about Diane De Poitiers.
Fabulous work!!
