Movie or TV Productions

While Angels Returning to Heaven is fictional, it might look something like da Vinci's classic Madonna on the Rocks. We think it needs a little more Vogue.
You'll have to use your imagination for this one, too. Two Boys Running Through a Field of Haystacks is also fictional. But with some brainpower (or PhotoShop) you could transform this Renoir painting of a field into the masterpiece dreamt up by Carter.
This little girl is praying to Santa Claus. Maybe if Santa were picking someone's pocket, it would look more like Girl Praying to Saint Nicholas, which features prominently in Heist Society.
