MINNESOTA - Reverential paintings of an Italian master from more than four centuries ago were interpreted in a new way recently by some St. Norbert College art students. The result was a series of photographs that recreate biblical and classical scenes. Leivur Reinert Djurhuus, a senior from the Faroe Islands — part of Denmark — translated famed paintings to photographs with fellow art students as his models. "These motifs are inspired by the painter Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, known as Caravaggio," Djurhuus said. [link]
