Yet.. French photography Sacha Goldberger has taken this mix between Elizabethan and modern to a entire new image. I am amazed. The entire collection is beautiful we are transported to youthful memories and the thought of pop culture within our society. We are now shown of these much loved characters creates a entirely new perspective of the characters we've read and watched on our screens for the best part of a century.
I am completely fascinated by this series; who would think to create such a beautiful and intriguing master piece?
The inclusion of the costumes being worked into a traditional Elizabethan outfit. Oh my.
Now look and enjoy. Or look on the website either way check this talent out.

A lot of ruffled neck collars creep their way into the shoots; Just look at the detailing of the fabrics... Each suiting the character perfectly
The poses of the subjects 's another salute to Elizabethan era within art the poses are completely relatable to the paintings of the times.
This outfit on C-3PO of course looks extremely eccentric with the gold against the white ruffed but yet again this look in reference is Elizabethan the gold for one as gold was a rare and expensive shade to be worn only by the rich but the use of the ruff not only on the neck but smaller versions on the wrists would of also been fashionable for men of the time to wear.
The patterning on the outfits showing the detailing incredibly clearly, the different layers some of the characters have on such as the joker below with his green and purple attire; yet again the colour is extremely Elizabethan. The inclusion of a satin cape draped over him would also show that is he was in the Elizabethan century he would be extremely wealthy and terrifying hah.
"What if Superman was born in the sixteenth century?
And what if the Hulk was a Duke?
How might Van Eyck have portrayed Snow White?"
And what if the Hulk was a Duke?
How might Van Eyck have portrayed Snow White?"
a quote from the Sacha Goldberger website, link is in the first paragraphs.
What if? What is Walt Disney and Stan Lee and the other creators had thought of these characters in the 16th century? would people even think of things like super powers?
All of these characters are iconic; not one shouldn't be known.
The strange coincidence that many of the super Heroes and heroine characters are wearing red and golds? One of the richest shades in Elizabethan times only renascence people of birth were to wear. Is that a coincidence that fictional characters have been dressed in the colours seen as important in Elizabethan times?
The much loved R2-D2 looking even cuter then in the Star wars trilogy with this eccentric attire on his round robot frame.
Goldbergers work is exciting and fresh to an audience on her professional website she writes at the bottom whilst talking about the project
"As science fiction meets history of art, time meets an inexhaustible desire for mythology which is within each of us"
These characters infuse the memories of our childhoods from books to watching things with them in; the ideology of them lasting forever hasn't crossed our minds entirely because we have grown up knowing about them from the onset. Old paintings of Elizabeth and other famous tutors like her father Henry VIII has also stood securely in history; even though fictional these characters are standing the test of time and remaining in our culture as iconic. Just think Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was written by Lewis Carol (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) in 1865 and is still a iconic and idolised character.
Which ones your favourite?
This entire production is completely enchanting.
