@@Goldrefinedthrufire I definitely agree with you that makes a lot of sense but in my opinion for my own observations I perceive a lot of Russian women to be extremely beautiful so I’m sure the artist still did exaggerations and tried to blend away imperfections, but it’s not shocking to me that a lot of them were painted as beautiful because I do think that a lot of them are very pretty inherently today.
#4 Princess Elizaveta Esperovna Trubetskaya; "According to a contemporary" "..., not beautiful..." Wow... someone had a pretty messed up definition of beauty. Unless of course they actually meant to say, "Not beautiful... but..... Stunning"
I was intrigued when I read that too, but I thought it would be valuable to share how some people saw beauty. I am sure that these women looked much better alive then in painting, so that is why the renderings are doing a favour to them!
Slav women are the most beutiful by so far it isn't even a contest. Whenever I see really gorgeous and/or hot girl that stands out, and I look up who is she, it's a russian/ukraine girl 100% of the time.
Of course, they are extremely selective in ballet. It is a very prestigious career in Russia, even for boys, and elite ballet schools are financed by the government. So, these schools select their students at a very young age from a huge pool of applicants based on talent and body type, not wealth. Then upon graduation (if the students even make it to the end), theatres select only the best of the graduates. And only the very best of those best make it to the top as soloists, and physical beauty plays a big role in that. Ballroom dancing is less extreme but is similar.
Thank you for doing this. This gives a second chance at life to women who lived a long time ago ... I grew up in Siberia, where the entire atmosphere was saturated with the relics of exiled nobility. This helps to peek into the era , remember through the history and art as if saying to all those who passed a long time ago - you are not forgotten. Looking at their faces makes me feel somewhat sad and nostalgic. Makes the past come to life once again, in vivid colors ...
Thank you for pointing out that some of nobility of Russia were sent to Siberia. Many people do not know that. A grandfather of my great-grandfather belonged to Russian aristocracy and was sent from St. Petersburg to Siberia for his involvement with the Decembrist revolt. His children, grandchildren, greatgrandchildren, etc., including myself were born in Siberia. When I used to tell people in Central Russia and in the West that I was from Siberia, I did not realize they were automatically labelling me as a peasant from Siberian forests (even though I have advanced academic degrees). A little ignorance can go a long way, when unchecked.
@@ik1408"Many people do not know that." OMG, this is so true. Decembrist revolt had produced a LOT of exiles and subsequently brought tons of St. Petersburg culture back to Siberia with it. Even the architecture is reminiscent of St. Petersburg. When I show pictures of my native Irkutsk to people from abroad , the common element is a surprise - "oh, I didn't realize there is life out there and it looks normal' :))). Not only that, many do not realize that Siberia is a great academic center - Irkutsk, Novosibirsk have quite a number of universities , colleges and an academy. Siberian people are well educated and well read (and very tough).
По-моему они как близнецы получились. Может специально похожие прототипы подобрали, я не знаю. Но ни одна из этих женщин не имеет классической "русской" внешности, они скорее похожи на женщин с Кавказа.
@@ramencurry6672 There is a much better chance you'll find a similarly looking American than you would find a Russian looking like that at the given time.

I find it rather moving and sad too know these beautiful ladies no longer exist in life. It is a feeling of loss knowing they are gone and that the world is missing something special. I know that we all are special and our time on earth is short. These amazing facial images still have some sort of special meaning and reach out from the past touching my heart, thank you mystery scoop.
If this is of any consolation to you, you have a much better chance to find at least a few looking like that in the modern US than you would in Russia of back then.
You seriously need to make one of these of Natalya Pushkina (neé Goncharova) - wife of the poet Alexander Pushkin. They may not have been the highest nobility but Russia’s national poet died in a duel defending her honor and she was said to be one of the most beautiful women of her day. For her connection to Pushkin and the way he died (so young too), she is a truly significant woman in 19th century Russian culture.
Yes, at first she was the most beautiful woman of Moscow, and then she conquered the capital and emperor. One contemporary of Pushkin recalled - "Pushkin entered the hall, accompanied by a lady of dazzling beauty."
@@darlingdear2687 His "Song of the Prophetic Oleg" makes one think about a "temporary" stay in this world, when the sorcerer contemptuously refuses the prince's gift, and, turning to the prince, predicts his death from the prince's beloved horse.
Russian women are so beautiful even today. I ca only imagine how the pampered aristocracy women looked a few hundred years ago.I hope they are all resting peacefully
Countess Varvaras portrait is absolutely striking, I mean the painting, the AI software is neat but that original artist knocked it out of the park. She was beautiful.
We can thank the Winterhalter about painting her image with great detail. Without him we would only guess about how she look. By the way during my life I seen similarly looking Russian woman IRL. Indeed the real Varvara was beautiful.
Wow! Their natural beauty is truly stunning. Brought to life, it's hauntingly beautiful, as if they never left and are still with us today. Awesome work there!
The first woman was the prettiest. I also think the AI was generous with its interpretations, it gave each woman what society now would consider beautiful with all having clear skin, white straight teeth and huge doe eyes.
The doe eyes are to suck you in....same way the Westmores did makeup on late 60 shows. There was one of these that focused on thr process. The "AI" is overstated. The photo artist selects a model stock shot thst looks very close, then starts manually twisting eyes, lengthening or shortening features, changing complexion by skilled artistic mouse and eye editing. Then the AI adds blinks, smile, Hollywood dentist teeth, nods and head movement. That's why they all somewhat resemble modern models and actors. Most of the women are given exaggerated broad set eyes.
I noticed that all the women had the same perfect eyes, and I kept looking back and forth to the interpretation and the original painting to see if it was the same type of eyes. And I kept thinking, also, they might not have had such nice teeth, due to hygiene back then, but, oh, well, its his or her interpretation of the woman.
@Latresa Yes, it is beautiful. But it is not the most beautiful of all. You chose her because she could easily be a feminist karen today. You had to choose the one that deviates a bit from the beauty standard, because you shit on that as a good resentful feminist. HA!
@Enzo Ferrari & Furreccio Lamborghini apparently a contemporary of hers, it says this in the information underneath her picture. She's beautiful for sure I think, maybe they didn't have very good eyesight😊.
Unparalleled beauty of Slavic women, cracking facial features and figures. Still regularly encountered on the streets of Prague, Warsaw, Moscow, Zagreb, Bratislava or Belgrade...
This work you do is beyond anything I've seen in my life, and I'm 80 this year. Exquisitely beautiful. Scary, in a way, because it seems beyond human capability to create something so perfect. There are no words to describe the pristine beauty you create.
Interesting point ,Tamara, after 40 years in the NHS, my partial definition might include compassion, as evidenced by Lady Godiva, fierce leadership, say Boudicca or Maeve the pirate Queen who sailed up the Thames to confront Elizabeth 1,last but not least good looks help too,one extra point decisiveness say Maggie Thatcher during the Falklands war...all very subjective...best wishes from the wirral..E
Agreed. But we must also consider that vanity has always been a thing and it was not unheard of to hire an artist to paint you differently than your actual appearance. So the women who were described as unattractive, but their portraits appear otherwise, may have been intentionally painted inaccurately.
Now do you understand why cultures want purity? nothing wrong with ANYONE OR race to want their children to look LIKE THEM JAPANESE are beautiful people and are very pure if you want purity have it if you don't have that but people have the right to make choices seems to me YOUR comment was very precise and great too!
I do believe these old Russian paintings are what they really looked like before. Russian and Ukrainian women are known to be one of the most beautiful women in the world.
@@Lumosnight white Russian women are descended from Scandinavians, not far removed by generation. One of the main sources of Russian language is Old Norse.
@@Chuckles.. ok cool story bro. If you said that they intermixed with Scandinavian I could understand, but saying they are descendants is downright western expansionist bs.
This is the most stunning yet creepiest thing I've seen in some years! What a long way we have come in the AI tech!! Stunning! Mesmerizing! Incredible!!
Breathtakingly BEAUTIFUL! They all looked as if they could be walking into a local Walmart today and no one would have thought anything about it! People looked about the same as today no matter what century they lived in!
From the way these women actually looked to the way the artist flattered them to the way you have portrayed them elevates their beauty several levels. I suspect they would have paid you a fortune if you could truly make them look like the beauties you created. I really enjoy your work.
I noticed that as well, there's personal interpretation from the artist on those faces. All of their eyebrows are defined as XXI style and have some amount of makeup wich they didn't use back then, like the black eyeliner, eye shadows, mascara...
It's fascinating seeing them come to life. But there were definitely some liberties taken. Woman number three and four were given nose jobs which transformed their faces. Number 1 and 2 were far more subtle. Based on their descriptions, it's no wonder people were drawn to them. I would like to have met them myself. The last one in particular was ahead of her time, I don't think many women were involved in international relations at that time.
Yes. If the "brought to life" Elizaveta Trubetskaya was a fairly accurate representation, it is difficult to understand the description of her as "not beautiful". That contemporary must have been someone with an unconventional perception of attractiveness, or a jealous rival, a spurned suitor, or a lucky guy to live at that place and time in which the distribution of beautiful women was such that Elizaveta did not make the cut.
Whoever does this outstanding work, thank you for bringing history alive to show that the people of the past had lives, laughed and loved, this makes them become real people again.
i'm just stunned by this type of technology and by what's possible in bringing these truly beautiful women to life in this amazing way!! Please....continue making more of this kind of content!!
It's amazing to see those beautiful Russian women brought to life, and one of them was Polish. The sense or understanding of beauty was very different from today. Really enjoyed watching it.
5:25 The lady described in the caption as "not a beauty", when she was brought to life, made my heart skip a beat or two. Not a PERFECT beauty like her predecessors, she nevertheless is not one to spurn.
Beauty standards are continually evolving. Today’s beauties would not be considered beautiful then. I notice that Princess Elizabeth seems to have had a thinner body type and a longer face than some of the rest. Today, she would have been considered stunning.
Number 4 was absolutely beautiful, and it’s sad that people can’t get to that age and just stay there. It’s also sad to see kind of how they smiled, and their expressions.
Princess Elizaveta is just crazy beautiful! I am guessing she was intimidating to males due to the subordinate society of that time and she was smarter than all of them...so that made her "ugly" during that time.
Queen Elizabeth is just an ordinary looking lady . Nothing spectacular .I am yet to see a beautiful British royal family . Aside Diana that was a beauty .
I've been to Russia and encountered quite a few very beautiful women...These pictures here brought back to life with their beauty, color and smile I would think to be absolutely accurate and a wonderful step back in time. As always M.S. great work.
#2 and #4 are my favourite... Excellent close ups, beautiful smiles, they bat those eye lids and I can't remember my name...Add that introductory Strauss Waltz music, Wiener Blut, and you got me eating out of your hand with yet another winner!... Thanks for the treat!...😁
I don't know how you do it, but you, sir, are a true wizard. It amazes me each and every time that as soon as these women (or men) have another hairdo, they are as modern as every man or woman of today. Truly great to see!
These videos are the best thing I have seen on RUclips in a very long time. The composition of music and images are both haunting and beautiful and very touching.
You created them so wonderfully, and all the ladies look magnificent! Thanks to Mystery Scoop for bringing them to us. I thought Princess Elizaveta to be lovely as well. Perhaps she holds a different form of beauty, reflecting her confidence.
Truly bringing history to life. I hope you archive these somewhere aside from just RUclips. These are amazing glimpses back in time. Please keep it up! Things like these are our "portraits" for a modern era.
Musina-Pushkina looks like younger Meryl Streep! Edit: Trubetskaya--> "According to a contemporary:...not beautiful..." ---> litteraly the most beautiful woman ive ever saw (AI has spoken!)
Woah! Just ran into this channel because my feed recommended it and it’s mind blowing! 🤯 It’s like the past creeping into the future in a cool way! Amazing work and technology! Couldn’t stop watching! Personally, all the women were gorgeous, this type of pure beauty seldom exist nowadays. Great work! I’m definitely following your channel and sharing it with family and friends. Looking forward to more of your videos! 😊👍🏻✨
Beauty plays with time and space and the person who made this work is a noble servant who respects all its subtleties. I congratulate you and thank you very much for the great aesthetic pleasure you give us
Great channel, great idea to bring to life historial reminiscences... I can spend a good time sunk in a historical dream while watching this beauties...
Ive always been curious how people actually looked like during times paintings were close to photography and I can tell they aren't always the accurate since painters are human after all. This gives me chills and wish we can invent time travel.
I’m a photographer. I’d also argue photos don’t always capture what they looked like in person. I knew a drop dead gorgeous woman who was gorgeous in person. But in photos, she looked terrible. This is coming from a photographer. She had green eyes, long brown hair, and she had fair skin. I never forgot her. But the photos never captured her beauty in person.
If they were my relatives, my great-grandmother to say, tears would surely fall from my eyes, especially with that music in the background. Great video, thanks.
Stunning recreations. A boon to anyone who teaches "Modern" history. And I must agree with the comment below ... in my view, Princess Elizaveta is a true beauty.
I wonder what these beautiful women would think of todays technology if they could see it, this channel is awesome love seeing these old paintings come to life :)
Seeing the first one, I was already super impressed with the life-like image. And then she smiled. I was like "Oh my Lord". And then she moved... I swear man, i had goosebumps from my neck onwards. This was truly amazing. I'm glad to experience being in awe of 19th Century chick Hotness.
Thank you everyone!

To this day Russian women are still stunning as they were during the Imperial Russia-era. Just look at the ballroom dancing,ballet and Gymnastics.

If you said that they intermixed with Scandinavian I could understand, but saying they are descendants is downright western expansionist bs.
I enjoy reading about these beautiful women's lives as much as seeing them brought to life!! Thanks for sharing!!
those are people long gone and one day we'll be just like them a simple memory in the universe
Not really brother. Only body change s soul remains eternal. They are all been reincarnated and living somewhere in present Russia.
Wow,I am always deeply touched by gazing upon such beautiful women.The music is perfect.For some reason ,my eyes have tears in them.
This is the most stunning yet creepiest thing I've seen in some years! What a long way we have come in the AI tech!! Stunning! Mesmerizing! Incredible!!
Breathtakingly BEAUTIFUL! They all looked as if they could be walking into a local Walmart today and no one would have thought anything about it! People looked about the same as today no matter what century they lived in!
i bet 1000$ that you will never meet in walmart any one who is pretty enough to compair with thouse ladies. lmao
From the way these women actually looked to the way the artist flattered them to the way you have portrayed them elevates their beauty several levels. I suspect they would have paid you a fortune if you could truly make them look like the beauties you created. I really enjoy your work.
I noticed that as well, there's personal interpretation from the artist on those faces. All of their eyebrows are defined as XXI style and have some amount of makeup wich they didn't use back then, like the black eyeliner, eye shadows, mascara...
It's fascinating seeing them come to life. But there were definitely some liberties taken. Woman number three and four were given nose jobs which transformed their faces. Number 1 and 2 were far more subtle. Based on their descriptions, it's no wonder people were drawn to them. I would like to have met them myself. The last one in particular was ahead of her time, I don't think many women were involved in international relations at that time.
Yes. If the "brought to life" Elizaveta Trubetskaya was a fairly accurate representation, it is difficult to understand the description of her as "not beautiful". That contemporary must have been someone with an unconventional perception of attractiveness, or a jealous rival, a spurned suitor, or a lucky guy to live at that place and time in which the distribution of beautiful women was such that Elizaveta did not make the cut.
I doubt very much is any of them looked as good as their portraits, the artists are no fools, they have to make a living.
@@deepseawitch Also the perfect teeth, in an age were even dental care like that accessible to the moderately wealthy today was simply not available.
All of these beautiful ladies are so alive as if you just filmed them and when they smile well they just melt your heart 👏👏👏
Завораживает.... Магия..просто магия...🌷
Какие же красавицы!
(HOW), do (ALL), RUSSIAN LADYS become SO BEAUTIFUL ! ?? (MARIA ROMANOV, was my ALL TIME FAVOURITE),😍😍💖💘💋💋
(Valeria, (YOU) ARE,(STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL) TOO ! 😊😍💘💘💋🤗 XX
Whoever does this outstanding work, thank you for bringing history alive to show that the people of the past had lives, laughed and loved, this makes them become real people again.
i'm just stunned by this type of technology and by what's possible in bringing these truly beautiful women to life in this amazing way!! Please....continue making more of this kind of content!!
Varvara Musina-Pushkina was so beautiful. Thank you for wonderful works!!!
whoever did those living portraits, he/she is a true artist

Красавицы необыкновенные,эпоха,шедевр.Прекрасные русские девушки,супер!!❤️❤️❤️
It's amazing to see those beautiful Russian women brought to life, and one of them was Polish. The sense or understanding of beauty was very different from today. Really enjoyed watching it.
5:25 The lady described in the caption as "not a beauty", when she was brought to life, made my heart skip a beat or two. Not a PERFECT beauty like her predecessors, she nevertheless is not one to spurn.
Beauty standards are continually evolving. Today’s beauties would not be considered beautiful then. I notice that Princess Elizabeth seems to have had a thinner body type and a longer face than some of the rest. Today, she would have been considered stunning.
Yes, I too don't agree with any of the "not a beauty" descriptions
@@demensclay6419 That's right! They are all deliciously beautiful!
@@notmyworld44 Absolutely Wayne!
She's not the frail/damsel-type beauty, but more like strong-type beauty.
Love the tech, knowledge and talent to bring these lovely women to life once again, thank you all so much, it's fascinating.
These presentations are MESMERIZING. . I cannot start one and then turn away. I am GLUED, STUNNED staring at each recreation!!
I don't know why anyone would have said some of the women weren't beautiful. Every single one of them was absolutely gorgeous.
Number 4 was absolutely beautiful, and it’s sad that people can’t get to that age and just stay there. It’s also sad to see kind of how they smiled, and their expressions.
total agree these smiles make me tears in eyes
Weird why are you sad
This is such a beautiful thing you've done. A moment's glimpse of the distant past, as if I'm standing in front of these people.
The last one was described as having blonde hair but both her painting and pictures were more brown/red...either way, she was strikingly beautiful!
Yes, Russian culture is very diverse and rich in masterpieces of art. How wonderful that the world is interested in this!
Princess Elizaveta is just crazy beautiful! I am guessing she was intimidating to males due to the subordinate society of that time and she was smarter than all of them...so that made her "ugly" during that time.
Queen Elizabeth is just an ordinary looking lady . Nothing spectacular .I am yet to see a beautiful British royal family . Aside Diana that was a beauty .
I've been to Russia and encountered quite a few very beautiful women...These pictures here brought back to life with their beauty, color and smile I would think to be absolutely accurate and a wonderful step back in time. As always M.S. great work.
Thanks for sharing
#2 and #4 are my favourite... Excellent close ups, beautiful smiles, they bat those eye lids and I can't remember my name...Add that introductory Strauss Waltz music, Wiener Blut, and you got me eating out of your hand with yet another winner!... Thanks for the treat!...😁
Thanks again!
You, sir, are a romantic, so good to meet one. I think Mr Scoop is too, he's just not saying. 😏
Every woman is beautiful in her own way.
I found myself smiling back at them. It's truly amazing what you do. So cool
They are all stunning. Quite freaky when they smile, so hard to think this is how they may of been 100-150yrs ago. Love it.
Another great job of bringing these women to life. Keep up the very good work.
They are all truly lovely, my favorite in this group is the first one, the Countess. Thank you for bringing these women back to life.
I don't know how you do it, but you, sir, are a true wizard. It amazes me each and every time that as soon as these women (or men) have another hairdo, they are as modern as every man or woman of today. Truly great to see!
These videos are the best thing I have seen on RUclips in a very long time. The composition of music and images are both haunting and beautiful and very touching.
This is awesome!!!
¡¡Qué bellas, parece que hubieran vuelto a la vida!! Disfruto mucho su trabajo, gracias. Saludos desde Valdivia, Chile.
You created them so wonderfully, and all the ladies look magnificent! Thanks to Mystery Scoop for bringing them to us. I thought Princess Elizaveta to be lovely as well. Perhaps she holds a different form of beauty, reflecting her confidence.
Как всегда,отлично.👍И музыка хороша.
Who ever took the time to do this did a fantastic job.
Amazing...Incredible work...thanks for uploading...would certainly love to see more....
Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into these videos. We truly appreciate it. You are awesome!
Truly bringing history to life. I hope you archive these somewhere aside from just RUclips. These are amazing glimpses back in time. Please keep it up! Things like these are our "portraits" for a modern era.
Musina-Pushkina looks like younger Meryl Streep!
Edit: Trubetskaya--> "According to a contemporary:...not beautiful..." ---> litteraly the most beautiful woman ive ever saw (AI has spoken!)
I felt similar when I read it but maybe that's how he saw her...
The princesses who come back to life now. They smiled at me and tears flowed with emotion.
So beautiful all of them...But the last one, Elizaveta is simply breathtaking.
2 and 4 were stunning, I loved what you did with Anne Boleyn.
Woah! Just ran into this channel because my feed recommended it and it’s mind blowing! 🤯 It’s like the past creeping into the future in a cool way! Amazing work and technology! Couldn’t stop watching! Personally, all the women were gorgeous, this type of pure beauty seldom exist nowadays.
Great work! I’m definitely following your channel and sharing it with family and friends. Looking forward to more of your videos! 😊👍🏻✨
Welcome aboard!
What a lovely treat to see such exceptional women of Russian nobility brought to life --- they all looked beautiful --- very uplifting!
When your young, all are beautiful. How one lives there life eventually shows in your face as you age. Except Dorian Grey.
That last girl who "wasn't beautiful" is knockout, drop dead beauty in my eyes.
Very haunting AI portrait.
❤❤❤
Beauty plays with time and space and the person who made this work is a noble servant who respects all its subtleties. I congratulate you and thank you very much for the great aesthetic pleasure you give us
Absolutely amazing!
Great job bringing these incredible beauties back to life.
Remarkable!
👏👏👏
That "non-beautiful" woman at the end is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen :-) Great scoop. Love it :-D
Beutifull it's almost like they are trapped and longing to talk princess Elizabeth has the most enchanting smile
Princess Elizaveta is utterly gorgeous in this reproduction. Why people would say she isn't beautiful is beyond belief
Great channel, great idea to bring to life historial reminiscences... I can spend a good time sunk in a historical dream while watching this beauties...
Depuis la nuit des temps les femmes sont jolies merci pour votre travail pouce bleu vous êtes au top
Outstanding work you have done. It gives another meaning to their original portraits. Beautiful ladies! Congrats!!! (from Brazil)
Amazing and freaky , it just goes to show how a smile can bring out the beauty of a face
L
Ive always been curious how people actually looked like during times paintings were close to photography and I can tell they aren't always the accurate since painters are human after all. This gives me chills and wish we can invent time travel.
I’m a photographer. I’d also argue photos don’t always capture what they looked like in person. I knew a drop dead gorgeous woman who was gorgeous in person. But in photos, she looked terrible. This is coming from a photographer.
She had green eyes, long brown hair, and she had fair skin. I never forgot her. But the photos never captured her beauty in person.
You do these women great justice, they are all beauties !!! Fantastic Job !!!!!!
Amazing the best project ive ever seen good job mates i hope your channel can grow more viral
Thank you!
Elizaveta was truly and naturally beautiful in both the ‘oil’ and the digital rendering. By todays standards absolutely stunning.
Wonderful job. Thank you very much for making us travel in time
If they were my relatives, my great-grandmother to say, tears would surely fall from my eyes, especially with that music in the background. Great video, thanks.
Once again you did a great job. Its a pleasure enjoying your work. Thanks
Thank you! Cheers!
Captivating - like always. I am Slavic - so, no surprises there. Best regards from Belgrade.
I am sure these women would thank you for your great work, as they impossibly live again.
Stunning recreations. A boon to anyone who teaches "Modern" history. And I must agree with the comment below ... in my view, Princess Elizaveta is a true beauty.
Обалдеть! Если эти прортреты воспроизвидены, хотя-бы немного приближено к оригиналу...То это - божественная красота!!!
I wonder what these beautiful women would think of todays technology if they could see it, this channel is awesome love seeing these old paintings come to life :)
Russia is a beautiful culture
Blin, it is good.
Seeing the first one, I was already super impressed with the life-like image. And then she smiled. I was like "Oh my Lord". And then she moved... I swear man, i had goosebumps from my neck onwards. This was truly amazing. I'm glad to experience being in awe of 19th Century chick Hotness.
Wouuu, fantastic realistic work, it is a window to the past, the time machine. Thanks, and greetings from Mexico.
Last one is ........ truly marvelous.
I've never seen someone like that in 3 decades ...... 🤗😶
😰 this gave me goosebumps 👌👌👌 legendary
The smile on their face are so beautiful everyone is so gorgeous
