There's no shortage of revamped classic works of art. Tumblrs like Carter Family PortraitsBeyonce Art History, and Art X Smart prove that famous paintings lend themselves to modern re-imaginings over and over again. In a recent series of very popular Worth1000-sponsored contests, digital artists have taken art history in their own hands once again, shamelessly inserting their favorite superheroes and villains into famous works of art.

No era is untouchable—the contest entries include everything from iconic Renaissance paintings by da Vinci through the modern works of Dalí and Hopper. Check out the winners of each contest at Worth1000, although in contests like these, the viewers are the real winners.
