Technology is amazing… XVI Century faces are transformed into emoji to share simultaneous messages with great irony! I wonder if just the painters knew!

40 expressions: severe glances, smiles and tears. They are called Rejoinders and they are available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, 0,99 €.
