I was recently playing around with Adobe's new Generative Fill tool in Photoshop and wondered what it would be like to reformat classic paintings to fit the 16:9 aspect ratio to better fit your TV. The results were mixed:

Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1 (1871) - James McNeill Whistler
A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (1886) - Georges Seurat
Liberty Leading the People (1830) - Eugène Delacroix
American Gothic (1930) - Grant Wood
The Night Watch (1642) - Rembrandt van Rijn
The Arnolfini Portrait (1434) - Jan van Eyck
The Great Wave off Kanagawa (1831) - Hokusai
Mona Lisa (c. 1503–1506) - Leonardo da Vinci

And, finally, Edward Hopper's Nighthawks (1942), reformatted to fit those vertical TVs in mall kiosks:
