Photo editing programs have long been a part of our lives, so you can rarely see a photo that hasn’t been retouched. However, it’s wrong to think that Photoshop belongs only to the modern world. People have been improving the looks of their portraits for centuries. That means there were specialists in photo retouching that date all the way back to the nineteenth century. Even painters have worked hard to make models look more beautiful than they really were.
At Bright Side, we searched the archives and found photos of royalty from the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century, and we compared them to their portrait paintings. At the end of the article, we’ll show you what Vincent van Gogh really looked like.

‘We Left. As Did LOTS of the Crowd’: Fans Shame Miranda Lambert for Her Behavior at Montana Festival – What Happened?
Miranda Lambert is facing backlash for her behavior at the Montana Festival. On July 14, a video shared by an attendee shows Lambert reprimanding the crowd during her performance, causing many to leave. Wearing a cowboy hat and denim dress, she addressed the audience sternly, saying, “Are we clear?” and pointing out specific individuals.
One attendee noted, “We left. As did LOTS of the crowd,” while another criticized, “This is terrible.” A TikToker remarked, “Respect your fans more. Without them, you’d be some nobody working at Dairy Queen.”
However, some fans defended her. “Honestly she was amazing. We were right up front and loved every second of it,” one concertgoer praised. Another admirer commented, “She is just brutally honest. Something so many of us lack.”
This isn’t the first time Lambert’s actions have upset fans. At a past Las Vegas concert, she stopped performing “Tin Man” to scold women taking selfies, stating, “These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song, and it’s pissed me off a little bit.”
Social media users have mixed feelings, with some calling her behavior “out of line” and others supporting her no-nonsense attitude.
