Home-made masterpieces and solitary snaps: Imagery in a time of coronavirus

ENCORE! © FRANCE 24

Art lovers deprived of the possibility of wandering around museums have taken up the "Getty Challenge", recreating iconic paintings with household objects, inspired staging and a large dose of creativity. We also meet the French photographer capturing the ghostly aspect of Paris's streets, as Eric Bouvet documents these unprecedented scenes for the history books.

Meanwhile, street artist C215 tells us how he managed to get one of his murals finished at the 11th hour, and how he's paying tribute to the hospital workers fighting the virus.

Plus, France's restaurant sector is calling on the authorities to facilitate their return to work, and pop duo Hanami manage to team up virtually to bring us a quarantined version of their track "Ampleur".
