Squarespace's end of year campaign, Browser History, boasts a modern Renaissance theme that features the work of Spanish artist Ignasi Monreal, who is known for putting a contemporary spin on classic painting styles. The campaign for the website building platform spotlights the stories of six Squarespace customers who have made significant changes to their businesses in response to the pandemic.

As part of the Browser History campaign, each customer posed for their own modern painting in a series of video calls and virtual portrait sessions. In the paintings, the customers are the heroic focal points.
