What happened when Greg James recreated a painting from 1866 live on Radio 1

Do you remember when listeners spotted an uncanny likeness between Greg James and the subject of Carl Bloch's 1866 painting 'In A Roman Osteria'?

Well, Greg took the only logical next step: recreating the scene in the Live Lounge and inviting the nation to take part in a paint-a-long. Here's what happened...

There were some amazing works of art painted in the Live Lounge...

...on some unusual canvasses

And people at home sent in their paint-a-long masterpieces...

Thank you all for painting along
