Cinematic reconstruction of famous and less famous paintings

Filmmakers and visual artists have often taken up themes and subjects that take old paintings and transform them into complex movie scenes or cinematic productions. All these approaches fall under the label "transmedia", that is, a subject or a theme is transformed from an artistic object (related to the media through which it is expressed) into another artistic object, with other means of expression and another vocabulary.
