The Playmobil art of Pierre-Adrien Sollier, an artist hailing from France, is not what some people would have expected. Instead of a Nickelodeon take that would have probably resulted in a TV show spin off, the Playmobil art reference classical paintings such as The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci, Liberty Leading the People by Eugène Delacroix and The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dalí.
The people typically featured in such famous paintings are replaced with Playmobil figures. The execution of the Playmobil art is impressive. The styles are carefully upheld even though the subject matter has changed so significantly. Fans of these games will love the playful interpretation. Although classical art lovers might be slightly abhorred at the idea.
