However, one clever creative had the idea to recreate the Renaissance masterpiece with an unconventional material.

Using potatoes, some paint, and pieces of lettuce, artistHuylsonmade theMona Lisathree-dimensional, and amazingly realistic.

Huylson documents the entire process in an Instagram video.

After the head is done, Huylson embarks on the next step of the food art process.

He affixes the head to three other potatoes and drapes several leaves of lettuce on top.

Hulyson even chopped up a few extra potatoes to make a hand.

While the piece may not be entirely safe to eat, it sure is a feast for the eyes!
