It's really only the hair color they have in common I think the outfit just makes you feel like they match
Went to the trouble of wearimg a costume, but not of holding the cup in the correct hand?
He isn't exactly the same, but he could be considered his son very easily. He could be the SON of Henry the 8th!
Real-life guy looks like someone you'd invite into your home, and your wedding. Henry, never.

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE.
Accept no substitutes!
Congrats on the good grammar.

Our brains are very good at finding similarities where some may not exist.
Something like that happened to me once... It was WEIRD.

Hi
This comment has been deleted.
So the first think I thought when I looked at the first pic was " Oh, I have a friend that looks pretty much the same as these two" So here's the result: she indeed looks like them: some-5a09d...0ec105.jpg
OK so I got a pic of a friend of mine. First thought was that she looked so much like these two girls and in the end, she really do: some-5a09d...04d8f3.jpg

*George V reborns in Brazil !* My friend Marcio Carneiro was born in Brazil and bears a striking resemblance to King George V from the United Kingdow. Similarities are not only physical, in the first place, he is a Lord. His manners and way of behaving are definetely coming from royalty. He cares for his look and is a bodybuilder . He loves art. Painting and dancing are his passions, and for those he is specially gifted. Marcio´s work shows off his Brazilian roots with pride. His paintings are very realistic and close to perfection, a truely royal artist.
Sorry, United Kingdom*

Well, I'm not surprised, I've got a picture of my son at 4 years old looking the exact twin of the Spanish Infanta in an painting.
Mine was bust of Francis I at age 40 in the Louvre.

Most of these really do NOT resemble the paintings--their noses, bone structures, etc. are all different. The only similarities are in their hair styles, which isn't saying much IMO.
Facial hair and hair style is key it seems.
I found mine in the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya. 12928288_1...f1b9dc.jpg
anyone else notice that in #11 and #26 its the same picture in the background
sorry that should be #12
I try not to, sometimes.
Interesting. I wonder if the similar looks indicate some familial link.
What impresses me the most, is that a lot of them still have the same haircut (and beard)!

"So do us" ???? Gah!!!
Noone heard about "The Royal Archduke of Grand Fenwick"? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHm11RjuO2o
It's been said that we all have a twin ... I've seen my cousins twin and my niece found a pic of a model from the fifties that is dead ringer of myself. My best friends Mom was at a bar and saw her twin, She said they just stared at each other and she was so dumbfounded that she just got up and left the bar ! All True!
Some of these definitely look photo shopped.
"So do us"??? And news flash, doppelgängers are always identical, that's what makes them doppelgängers.
Have had this experience myself (with a cutaway in a Weimar nightclub) in a Louise Brooks documentary. It's the freakiest.
Only a couple actually look like the art. All the rest are a stretch. Looking somewhat like a piece of art doesn't count.
Funny, I just read an article how people easily get tricked into thinking two strangers look similar just because they have a similar hairstyle. And bam - this article! Come on, in many cases, their faces aren't similar at all.
I couldn't believe that too...I will be shocked..
reincarnation. seriously
Okay some of those were really good and some of them were BEYOND stretching it.
What creeps me out the most is that every one of them has the exact same hairdo as their predecessor!

Haaha xD
I'll take #8....and I don't mean the one hanging on the wall... :-))))))
It's strange that some people are actually preparing themselves to look like the paintings. It just removes all the spontaneity from this post. Sorry, made-up world, I'm like that.
Type-o in your first line, friend. Should be "so do we" not "so do us". And very cool post!
One I went to art class with looked just like the norwegian painter Nikolai Astrup, I mean very look alike. I wish I knew were I saved that photo we took while in the Astrup museum >_<
Sounds legit! The Met and Smithsonian are still on my https://www.dreamlist.com of places to visit.
