More Van Dough than Van Gogh - these are some of the greatest artworks the world has ever seen but made from humble rounds of TOAST.

Some of the pieces that are being recreated on the breakfast staple include Da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man, The Bedroom by Van Gogh and The Great Wave by Hokusai.

There is the Mona Lisa's famous smile alongside The Birth of Venus by Botticelli.

The artworks were created by Tefal to launch the electrical brand's new Maison breakfast appliance range .

The household appliance firm has teamed up with food art bloggers Fresh Heather to give breakfast a boost by transforming toast into famous works of art.

The art will go on show at a gallery in London and organisers say they are on a mission to "reinvigorate the first meal of the day and spread joy across the nation with toast and a sprinkling of imagination".

Rémi Fondeux, from Tefal said: “Breakfast has become a much neglected meal in our daily lives as the world we live in grows faster in pace by the day.

“It’s a real shame as breakfast provides a chance for family members to get together around the table before facing their days, and is also a chance to cook up some really artistic and delicious meals.

“We want to people to fall in love with breakfast again, and unlock the potential the meal has for beautiful food.

"This quirky gallery will be lots of fun and showcase the humble loaf in an entirely new light.

“This exciting event is a real celebration of both the joys breakfast can bring and our great new Maison range, which has been developed in conjunction with acclaimed design studio Seymourpowell.”

There’s more than the art alone to feast your eyes on too.

Fresh Heather bloggers will be hosting a live demonstration and taking questions about food art.

Fresh Heather said: “Breakfast is often the time of day when we have the least time, but it is an opportunity to create something truly wonderful.”

It’s not just those who visit the gallery who can join in the fun, as Tefal is calling on all breakfast lovers to get creative and share their breakfast works of art on Twitter and Instagram using #ArtofBreakfast for a chance to win prizes.

The gallery is located at Unit 8, Old Street Underground Station, and the Art of Breakfast exhibition will be open on Monday 8 – Tuesday 9 August from 7.30am to 7.30pm.
