In the epidemic prevention poster series of world famous paintings called "Art of Quarantine" launched by the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine in response to the epidemic, "Social Distancing" is adapted from the famous painting "The Last Supper". The Last Supper was created by the Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci and is based on the biblical theme of Jesus' last supper with the twelve apostles. The frightened, angry, suspicious, dissected and other expressions of the characters in the painting, as well as gestures, eyes and behaviors, are depicted in detail, and are the most famous of all the works created on this subject. In the collection of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy.
《制造补给品》MAKE SUPPLIES （Making supplies lets you remain home for a longer timeandminimize th
Making Supplies is based on another of Leonardo da Vinci's paintings, The Woman With the Silver Sable. The girl in the picture is Cecilia Galelani, the mistress of Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan, who has a noble and calm temperament and is favored by the Duke. The silver marten held in the arms of Cecilia Galelani in the original painting is the image of the duke's family crest. Now, the silver marten in the arms of the noblewoman has become a necessary ingredient for life, self-reliance, and hoarding goods is the king of the epidemic.

"Using Hand Sanitizer" is adapted from the famous painting "Creating Adam". The Creation of Adam is a Sistine Chapel zenith painting by Michelangelo from 1511 to 1512 and is part of the Book of Genesis. The fresco depicts God's creation of Adam, the first ancestor of mankind, in the Biblical Genesis, and is the fourth in genesis zenith in the order of events. In the original painting, the white-bearded old man in the flowing robe on the right side of the painting is God, and Adam is located on the left side of the picture, naked. God's right arm was stretched out, and the fire of life was transmitted from his finger to Adam, who stretched his left arm in the same way, implicitly pointing out that man was created in God's image. In the poster, it was changed to a bottle of hand sanitizer. At present, hand washing and disinfection is like the "fire of life".
《洗手》 WASH YOUR HANDS （ Frequently washyour hands with soap to kill theviruses, that may be on t
WASH YOUR HANDS is based on Raphael's self-portrait, Portrait of a Young Man in Red. Portrait of a Young Man dressed in Red was created by Raphael around 1505 and is now preserved in the J. Paul Getty Museum. Raphael's life was only 37 years, but he left the world with more than 300 precious works of art, representing the most admired aesthetic tastes of the people at that time, together with Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, known as the Three Masters of the Renaissance.
In the painting, a man dressed in red stands in front of a palatial landscape, his gaze slightly cold and arrogant, dressed simply but well-textured, which is characteristic of the individualism emphasized by the Renaissance. The bending of his arms forms a triangular composition, which may have been a popular gesture of that era. The table in front of him was covered with beautiful Arabic-style carpets, and the ornate pillars behind it may have been part of his own residence. The adapted poster shows a man in red washing his hands with water flowing from a tap to remind everyone to wash their hands frequently during the epidemic.
《使用手套》 USE GLOVES （Wear disposable gloves to avoid contactwith potentially infected surfaces
Using The Glove is an adaptation of Italian painter Giovanni Battista Salvi's painting Our BlessedMother. Salvi was an Italian Baroque painter known for his persistent pursuit of raphael style. At present, the original work has not been found, and the closest to it is the following painting of Salvi's "The Virgin of Prayer", in which the expression of the Virgin is peaceful and quiet, and her hands are gently folded and she is praying. With the help of this painting, I pray that the epidemic will soon recede and people will stop suffering from illness. Defense is more useful than prayer.
《使用送货服务》USE DELIVERY （Using delivery servicesreduces the number of contacts and minimizes
"Using the Delivery Service" is an adaptation of the famous painting Jacques Louis David's Napoleon Across the St. Bernard Pass in the Alps. The picture shows Napoleon leading an army of 40,000 men during the Second Coalition War, climbing the steep Alps and crossing the St. Bernard's Pass into Italy in order to buy time. The figures are arranged on the snowy steep slopes of the St. Bernard Pass, the gloomy sky and the treacherous terrain reinforce the heroic momentum of the work, and Napoleon's red cloak makes the picture brilliant and exciting. The young Napoleon pointed to the high mountain and rode on the back of an upright fierce horse. The client was not Napoleon, but The Spanish King Carlos IV at the time. The works were completed between 1801 and 1805, two of which are in the Palace of Versailles and the remaining three in the Belvedere palace in Vienna, the Charlottenburg Palace in Berlin, and the Malmesson Castle in Luere. The scene in the painting does not fully correspond to reality, because napoleon was actually riding a donkey instead of a horse, and the weather was not bad at that time. Some experts explain that it may be that donkeys have stronger endurance and horses are more suitable for charging. Therefore, it is not that Napoleon is not strong, it should be the need of the situation at that time, and the author painted the donkey as a horse, perhaps to show Napoleon's mighty and tall image. In the adapted poster, Napoleon, riding a high-headed horse, incarnated as a takeaway brother and delivered the supplies that people needed to their doorstep. This can't help but remind us of the "knights" (takeaway brothers) who shuttled through the city streets during the epidemic, and they are not ordinary heroes in the days of fighting the epidemic.
WEAR A FACE MASK (Cover mouth and nose, avoidtouching mask once it's on
"Wearing a Mask" is an adaptation of a surrealist painting by the famous painting Magritte, "Son of Mankind". The Son of Man is a self-portrait of a man in a bowler hat and a long coat with clouds and the sea in the background. The man's face was blocked by a dangling green apple, but he still peeked at the audience from the edge of the apple. The man's left arm bent back eerily. As a well-known surrealist work, it appeared in many later film works such as "Holy Mountain", "The Game of Stealing Heaven", and "Mouth White Life". Regarding this very mysterious work, the painter said to himself: (This painting) covers the face very well... This happens all the time. What we see is always obscuring each other, and we always want to know what is blocked... It's not a simple question of what's blocked and what wasn't... It's a question of the difference in visibility between the blocked and the unblocked. According to his own interpretation, the portrait on the painting is nothing more than an ordinary middle-class citizen. After the adaptation of the poster, the apple covering the face became a mask.
《保持距离》KEEP THE DISTANCE（Being in public places,keep the distanceof 2 meters to other people.
KeepIng A Distance is an adaptation of Lord Frederic Leighton (1830-1896) orpheus and Oredes. Leiden is the most famous painter of the British nineteenth-century aesthetic school, and is highly renowned in the history of British painting, which is synonymous with the Royal Academy. The content in the original painting is taken from Greek mythology. Orpheus and Eurydice are a couple. Orpheus is a talented musician and Eurydice is a beautiful fairy who was bitten by a poisonous snake on her wedding day. Orpheus was devastated and played a beautiful melody that even softened Pluto's heart. The Pluto king asked him not to look back at him on the way back to the Sun with Eurydice. But unfortunately, Orpheus could not resist an anxious glance, and he lost his wife forever. This story of "small intolerable chaos and great conspiracy" indicates that we must maintain restraint in the love of intimate relationships during this extraordinary period, whether it is a couple who is forced into a long-distance relationship alive or a flesh-and-blood relationship.
