11 paintings of cats as historical figures that you'll want hanging in your home

I can see all of these hanging above a roaring fire place! 

"I didn't want to be that illustrator that painted animals in clothes. But after I completed Queen Elhissabeth for a family friend I realized that I could have fun with this idea. A lot of fun," Christina Hess shared on Bored Panda. "Using numerous pets and celebrity animals from charities like Big Cat Rescue for inspiration I started recreating historical icons as animals. Some paintings are created traditionally in oils like William Shakesbeard and others are digital like Queen Elhissabeth. It just depended on how I wanted to work at the time."
