Yeah, from the thumbnail I thought the man standing by the statue of a Roman governor had made a sculpted portrait of himself, until I watched this video 🤷?!
40-years ago, l was at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Saw a portrait of a young Mother and child..who looked like a portrait of my wife and daughter ,a 16th century painting..
I had a similar incident, where I was at a religious gathering where there was lots of people. These gentlemen approached me asking if they could photograph me for some kind of shoot. I checked their credentials and went ahead with the photographs. About 2 years later I received a large book of photography with pictures of myself and others. It was wonderful. Go forward another 2 years and a good friend of mine, who's mother was one of my high school teachers, approached me and told me they had been on vacation to the St Louis Smithsonian and they saw a photograph of me hanging in a section where they honored the photographer. It was me! I couldn't believe it. I don't remember the name of the photographer right now, but my daughter still has this book that was signed by him. It's been approximately 45 years now. Just was strange to me to hear of this.
There's a painting of Circe that freaked me out as a teenager because she looks exactly like me, down to the feet. 20 years later, I love and appreciate it.
I don't think I've ever seen my twin in a museum but one time when I was little there was a girl who looked almost exactly like me. it was pretty creepy and awesome.
When my niece was a baby, she looked JUST like me. There's one photo of a very young (maybe a year or slightly less) me, and a photo of my niece in the exact same post, with the exact same position, and if not for the clothes, you'd think it was the same photo. Oddly, however, she grew up to look a lot like her other aunt, my older sister. My niece is quite stunning, could be a model. At my first (practice😅) wedding, I looked pretty darn good as the bride. My niece was one of the bridesmaids, and every single unattached male-and some of the attached ones!-kept coming up to me asking about her. I answered all of them with a flat look and a "Hi! I'm the bride! My niece is with him!" then pointed, smiling sweetly, to my niece's then boyfriend, who looked like an extra from The Sopranos...

The black Anish Kapoor usually uses is called "Vantablack". It was created by a nanotech company. It was supposedly the "blackest black" in existence. Kapoor started using it in his artwork.

The Richard Anthony Smith case sounds like some descriptions of schizophrenia I've heard of. A person with untreated schizophrenia can loose the ability to discern reality and end up (at least temporarily) being convinced that something completely untied to reality is utterly real. It's often terrifying for them. The people who suffer from it absolutely deserve understanding and kindness.
Great video, love the twin thing. Secondly , a two year old could finger paint something on paper but if you said it was painted by a famous artist, it would sell for millions, lol. People are funny.

I saw this in a book about Rome. It had a photograph of a bust of one of the Emperors I think it was Tiberius but he looked just like my friend Jim, who is pure blood Italian. I showed this to his Father who was just blown away. Pretty neat. Genetics through the the centuries.
I actually found a real picture of my grandparents in a prison camp from the second world war at the border in Denmark it was quite weird like it was a little picture of them in one of the Barracks And I ended up calling them and saying hey, you’re so old that you’re in a museum And they started laughing in hysteria after I send a picture of it I still love I found my grandparents in a fucking museum
I live in Florida about 15 min from the Flagler museum. It's too bad Floridaman didn't look around a bit, the Flagler has an amazing network of secret passages, amazing artifacts as well.
While I lived in Florida I was mistaken for people that complete strangers knew. I can only think my dad was a very busy guy when he was down there when I was born in Miami.
I was wondering if I'd find this comment. I think many of these people could very well be descendents of those they look like. That would be hard to prove, I suspect. But how amazing would it be to find out?! I love that kind of stuff! A maternal great uncle did some serious genealogy tracing and found that our family actually came over on the Mayflower. I wish he had gone back even further, but I was amazed at that to begin with. You just never know who your ancestors could be!
@@jadetiger13 I do agree with u. My paternal grandparents are both Chinese. My maternal grandparents are from southeast Asia. According to our family history, we didn't belong to any European countries. But both of my mum and my older brother have hazel eyes.
@@boxoffisa It went well. We had a nice time watching. My wife's doppelganger, which is a statue, is much closer than almost all of these. Only a few of them were even in the same ballpark compared to her match. Still, it was definitely interesting to see all of these examples. For more backstory, I initially saw the statue without my wife, as we were on separate trips to Paris at the time. I told her about it before I left, and then she went and found it on her own. Years later, we both went together again and took the obligatory picture in front of the statue.
To me, art is art. Whether it's digital art or the stuff we see in museums, it's still art. I appreciate art, and while i don't study art, it can tell us much about culture, how things are, how people view different things and all that. I'm a Gen Z, and unlike those stupid climate activists, i can at least show my love for art by looking at it for hours. Maybe not for hours, but i can at least appreciate the effort it takes to make art. And i do feel like i look like a young Abraham Lincoln if there ever is a painting or something like that made of Abe, which is weird, considering that i'm from Sweden. I can't prove that theory, unless the Americans wants to bring me to USA, and i don't want a new civil war in the States. The world is falling apart as is, and i don't want to make it worse
You don't have to worry about starting a Civil War in the U.S. All of these "activists" on the West and East coast are gonna push and push until we fall into a Civil War. When that happens, they'll sit back and complain about how bad war is while throwing the proverbial gasoline on the fire, never to lend a hand to those set ablaze!
@@JSchaffer214 Ok. Almost the entire world is on fire at the moment. War in Europe, mass protests in Asia, political unrest in South America, mass starvation in Africa and other bad stuff in and around Australia, like wild fires, even if that isn't covered by the news, because of the war kn Ukraine and the protests in China, plus the entire muslim world being mad at Sweden, because a guy burned a koran, and there's political unrest in Brazil at the moment, after Jair Bolsonaro lost the Brazilian election.
I didn't find my twin in any piece of art in a museum. I found my twin in the photograph of the artist! When I first showed the photo (from a newspaper article) to an acquaintance of mine, she was astounded that I was actually an artist. How I wish. I can do some OK drawings and portraits, but nothing like what professionals like my doppelganger can do. :)
Right!?!?! Leave a blank canvas and supplies and see what you get after an allotted amount of time! But i also feel like i would think the same if i saw art supplies in front of a painted on canvas... unless it had a ton of signage to say otherwise....
Not yet, but Thank You for bringing that to light. Its more proof that these people bear close genetic similarity. Similarity on a deeper level than just facial appearance. I'm no geneticist or biologist. But for these people to have a twin from 500 years ago shows that the genetic wheel keeps right on turning, & eventually comes full circle ⚛🌎
@@robinhays1011 Youre touching on genetic memory. Sure, there are cop families, fireman families, & military families. IMO in alot of these the son was just following in his father's footsteps. But in other cases you see where a child naturally takes to learning music, & right from the beginning, displays musical gifts It's also true of sculptors, painters, & carpenters who, with little or no guidance from a teacher, teach themselves & attain mastery of their work Personally I worked as an automotive repair professional. I was proficient at it only because both my grandfathers were farm boys & excellent teachers. Not because of natural aptitude, but I made a good living. The closer I got to 30, in my 20's, the more dissatisfied I became until I became miserable, & eventually I couldn't stand doing my job anymore I believe the reason is farming runs in both my paternal & my maternal families. In the case of my paternal family, it goes back six generations, all the way to an original Scottish immigrant who was himself a farmer, back in the homeland. There's no denying or resisting such deeply-rooted hereditary inclinations. They are all the way into the core of ones bones & must be reckoned with. . . Anyway, this explains why I could never work in the confines of an office environment. Why I always had to work outdoors, & why animals are naturally drawn to me. I also never possessed the fear of bees, wasps & reptiles that most people do. My great-grandfather was a farmer & a bee tamer who raised his own honey. Well, to end this story it wasnt until my work had me out on the land everyday & in contact with the animals that I was finally free. Finally at peace Thank you for contributing! And thank you for allowing me to share this 💜❤
They're all probably distantly related. My nephew, as well as my youngest cousin and my dads cousins youngest son, all look like a historical figure from 500 years ago. Coincidentally we're related to him. I have several other family members who share similar features with this young historical figure and his father, but those three could be his carbon copies. There is another distant cousin, who looked similar to the figure in the painting (when he was younger) who is still alive today as well. I have another cousin, (well my cousins eldest son) who looks like a painting of 3 brothers. Well 2 of the brothers that is, the youngest and the oldest (when he was at those ages). Convienently we are related to the three brothers as well (it too is a hisotorical painting, and could be about 400-500 years old). I hate when people try to put that sh!t down to time travel bullsh!t and all that, because its not. Its simple genetics. Look at their family trees, the living people AND those in the paintings. Eventually you'll find the link, even if its hundreds of years apart.
I used to work in a hospital. One day this man kept watching me. Then we stopped me and asked why I wasn't with our kids. I told him I don't know you. He asked if my name was Deanna I told him no. He told me I look like his wife. From how tall I was to my hair color and length and my weight. I'm her double.
if you pause at 14:22 and stare at the black circle your brain will try to make two third of it lighter to give the impression of light falling in, and every time you see it, it jumps to another position while you can't stop the effect from happening no matter how hard you try Of course you do need to "see" the slightly dark grey/"dusty black" area that suggests light falling in at the side you're looking at and as soon as you try to focus to see the effect it jumps to the part of the ring you try to focus on but, not the "angle" the "light" seems to fall in (at least that is what it did for me) like if you see it too, I'm curious if it's just me or if it's one of those tricks of (the absence of) light that evolution of the visual part of our brains developed 'cause of our preference fo 3d depth vision
I haven't encountered any personal dopplegangers, but I did find one for a near relative of mine. My eldest full blood niece could be a twin to a young Queen Victoria; who just happens to be my 8th cousin, four times removed, on my dad's side of the family. Talk about enduring family resemblances. This was definitely one of them.
When I was in 8th grade, there was another student who looked exactly like me. I learned this from some of my class mates and have never actually seen him because we were never in the same place simultaneously. I had people coming up to me and talking to me about events which I'd never been apart of myself but my twin had. People would say things like hey great party last night or are we still hanging out this weekend? It was so weird but kind of cool at the same time.
Makes you wonder if you were adopted or separated at birth for some reason. At least it would make ME wonder. I'da been looking for that other person to meet them for sure. 😃
What makes this all even crazier is that these people just happen to be in the same area as the museum that holds the painting that resembles them, AND is visiting said museum… so just imagine how many MORE people out there look exactly like a painting somewhere in the world, but they just haven’t been standing in front of it yet.
I went to a museum with my family, and i saw pictures of three people that looked like my cousin,my brother and me. Those were right next to eachother and me and brother were happy while our family was in total shock
That pineapple is no joke. It needs a case to protect it from consumption by humans. Also it may hurt our eyes from direct exposure of such a glorious fruit
The funniest part to me about that prank is that back when pineapples were first introduced to Europe, they really WERE considered that much of a rare treasure and status symbol! 😝 People would literally hire a pineapple to display as part of a fancy dinner party, because it made them look rich & was such a novelty. The art museum prank is just the pineapple returning to its former glory.... 😋
In 1980 at Yellowstone Park my Dad pulled over the side of the road and we all got out and he said be quiet and we did. He said point with me, so we all pointed the same area in a field where he was pointing. When the 7th car pulled over behind the last two RVs he says get in the car now. We jumped in the car and drove off. We had heard people carrying on about, did you see the elk? did you see the 🐻? it was an 🦅. There was nothing in the field. We laughed until We cried. 🤣😂
I found my doppelganger in an art museum in Germany it was so uncanny that my friends thought I time traveled to the 21st century but I reassured them I didn't since it was made in 1645 and I was born in 1997 and I was even wearing the exact same outfit as my doppelganger and my friend allianna snapped a picture of me next to the painting and we left after that but my one question that stayed in my brain Was what was the girl name and was she a lost ancestor of my family? That question remains in my mind to this day and I still have no answer for it either and I saw the painting 5yrs later in a sellers museum at just 12,000 dollars so bought it and hung it in my bedroom next to my husbands doppelganger his was in the same sellers museum at around 19,000 dollars so he purchased it and hung it up two weeks before I purchased mine and three weeks later we found AR daughter's doppelganger at the same sellers museum at around 23,456 dollars so I purchased it and put it in her room and a week later I found my twin boys doppelgangers in the same sellers museum at just 45,678 dollars so I bought it and stuck it on a wall above their bed and they have been there ever since 😀😎
I remember when I saw myself in a painting I forgot what it was called though but she looked like a young black girl who resembled me quite a bit even my facial structure from the side which doesn’t happen often or at all really cuz I’ve always seen myself as a unique face guess not.
I think that all the time. YOLO is a myth. No one ever really dies, we're just energy transferring from one form to another. But people aren't ready for that convo yet 😏
It’s weird enough to find yourself in a painting somewhere else in the world. Even stranger to actually come across it in person. What are the odds of that happening?!
Not a museum, but a magazine. I found a picture of a girl who could have been me illustrating a 1962 article on what to do when your teenager is poorly groomed. It was a photo of someone who looked just like I did then, stringy hair, slumped posture and all.
A possible twist: The person in the painting might be their great great parents or a person in the family tree (That probably passed away), So im not sure if this would be true.
I can't explain it, but I think our facial features and body structures are just "repeats" of somebody else irregardless of time, age, race and location. It's like a toy or a car with different style and color, but the chassis are similar. Let's say a certain man or woman has a similar facial feature and body structure to a person somewhere in Africa, in Asia, or in Europe. I've had times like watching a movie or bumping into a person and say, wait, they looked like someone I knew! You can find the evidence in the animal world, in which most of each specie are pretty much identical. It's like a program or some sort which is repetitive.
Love Banksy his artwork is incredible and should always and forever be honoured for his contribution to the art world a true inspiration for all struggling artists like myself
Technically I found myself in a museum in the form of a portrait, but I created it. It was a self portrait project for the world's worst art class back in middle school and despite my clear demands that it wouldn't be displayed with the other, the teacher ignored me and even created a name tag for it because I refused to sign it. It's one of the bigger reasons why I refused to do any more projects for that class.
Once, I stayed in a hotel room and there was a painting on the wall of two girls in Victorian era, and they looked just like my sister and me when we were that age! Even our hair styles were similar! Creeped me out af!
I have several degrees in many different subjects, one being art. The best way to enjoy art 🎨 is to sit and stare, taking in every brush stroke it really is breathtaking
I found that painting of my doppelganger on the dust jacket of a book. Just my luck the book was titled "The Harlot By The Side Of The Road". I used it as a coffee table book for years and had many ask me if I had posed for it.
I love the vid, but time travel actually does exist. It’s when you circle the earth at a speed so large, time goes slower. I don’t think I really got all the details on how this works so you can google,”does time travel exist?” And see what your answer is!! Again, I love the vids man, I always watch them on the bus and at home. Keep up the good work and stay safe from Covid and merry Christmas, have a good New year!!!
Imagine if you go to a museum and stand still just to take a rest after seeing too many arts, when you realize you are standing near a painting that looks like you.Feels like you being the main character.
for the hole; they should stick something into the ground beside the hole (a bit distant from it, to avoid falls) and tie rope to it that goes deep into the hole. visitors of the museum would be safer and the museum would have an interactive exhibit. You could check if its a hole or painting by pulling the rope instead of walking too close.
@@FromenthalMedia pulleh da rope no fall in no hole. If you havent seen the video yet, watch, or spoiler alert🦙: theres a hole in the floor in a museum that looks like a sticker and people are curious, so they get too close. There are signs of precaution but people think its a prank and get too close however it is an actual hole so I'm saying tie a rope outside the hole that people can tug on making it an interactive piece and so people can remain safe.
Creepy..I was once at a mall parking lot getting ready to go home as I drove away i saw a guy walking with his family he turned around and he looked exactly like me ...we both stared at each other in amazement..never forgot that it was creepy as F 😳
National Gallery of Art has the painting of Napoleon Bonaparte I. But when my ex in his 20s & 30s. He looked exactly like his ancestor. My ex's youngest brother looked just like Napoleon Bonaparte II from his late teens til his late mid 20s. Them and their siblings are descendants of Napoleon Bonaparte thru their mother. I was let in on the history of the family in the early 80s.
Simpsons did it! Simpsons did it! Simpsons did it! Homer: What a beautiful barbeque pit... Why doesn't mine look like that!? (WHAM BAM SLAM) It's what they call 'Nouveau Arte.'
A few weeks ago me and my parents were invited by my best friend’s great grandparents go to a museum in Oklahoma City and while we were there there was this really good painting or old photo that looked exactly like my best friend, Her hair and face were exactly like the photo or painting.
I was the one who wrote Leonardo DiCaprio painted Monalisa instead of Leonardo Da Vinci in grade 10 exam. And yup, your intro reminded me of that shameful moment. The look of disbelief in my history teacher's face still haunts me in my dream even after 12 years 😂😂😂😂😂😂
8:20 Considering that Spongebob SquarePants lives in one, that really shouldn't be a surprise 8:59 I would've bought a Spongebob toy too and placed it next to the pineapple Also, how do we know Banksy is a guy? He could be a she, or a they, for all we know.
i remember when i first heard of banksy he was a rebel and a bad ass grafitti artist, back in the 90s maybe early 2k before what people call political it was just art.. i was like man i wanna spray like banksy... this is what people did BEFORE social media became a thing we didnt have yutube twitter or instagram, no we went out and did things to get noticed
I think the teenagers who thought they were just playing a prank were unknowingly creating art, by visually expressing themselves, and while the people who interpreted it might have been pretentious, art is subjective and has a different meaning for everyone who sees it.
my husband and I was in the Chicago art museum and found a statue that looks just like our daughter, it was from the 1600. It was weird.

I saw this in a book about Rome. It had a photograph of a bust of one of the Emperors I think it was Tiberius but he looked just like my friend Jim, who is pure blood Italian. I showed this to his Father who was just blown away. Pretty neat. Genetics through the the centuries.
I actually found a real picture of my grandparents in a prison camp from the second world war at the border in Denmark it was quite weird like it was a little picture of them in one of the Barracks And I ended up calling them and saying hey, you’re so old that you’re in a museum And they started laughing in hysteria after I send a picture of it I still love I found my grandparents in a fucking museum
I live in Florida about 15 min from the Flagler museum. It's too bad Floridaman didn't look around a bit, the Flagler has an amazing network of secret passages, amazing artifacts as well.
Its so awesome that you manage to say someonew names right. I would never be able to do that myself!
Ikr
I appreciate the close ups of them side-by-side! All the differences are no where close to all our similarities in the end. 🤔
While I lived in Florida I was mistaken for people that complete strangers knew. I can only think my dad was a very busy guy when he was down there when I was born in Miami.
Imagine visiting a museum, found your look alike in a portrait or sculpture. Then finally found out you were their bloodline 🙃🙂
I was wondering if I'd find this comment. I think many of these people could very well be descendents of those they look like. That would be hard to prove, I suspect. But how amazing would it be to find out?! I love that kind of stuff!
A maternal great uncle did some serious genealogy tracing and found that our family actually came over on the Mayflower. I wish he had gone back even further, but I was amazed at that to begin with. You just never know who your ancestors could be!
@@jadetiger13 I do agree with u. My paternal grandparents are both Chinese. My maternal grandparents are from southeast Asia. According to our family history, we didn't belong to any European countries. But both of my mum and my older brother have hazel eyes.
I can’t wait to show this to my wife. She has a doppelgänger in the Louvre.
Let us know how it will go.
@@boxoffisa It went well. We had a nice time watching. My wife's doppelganger, which is a statue, is much closer than almost all of these. Only a few of them were even in the same ballpark compared to her match. Still, it was definitely interesting to see all of these examples.
For more backstory, I initially saw the statue without my wife, as we were on separate trips to Paris at the time. I told her about it before I left, and then she went and found it on her own. Years later, we both went together again and took the obligatory picture in front of the statue.

To me, art is art. Whether it's digital art or the stuff we see in museums, it's still art. I appreciate art, and while i don't study art, it can tell us much about culture, how things are, how people view different things and all that. I'm a Gen Z, and unlike those stupid climate activists, i can at least show my love for art by looking at it for hours. Maybe not for hours, but i can at least appreciate the effort it takes to make art. And i do feel like i look like a young Abraham Lincoln if there ever is a painting or something like that made of Abe, which is weird, considering that i'm from Sweden. I can't prove that theory, unless the Americans wants to bring me to USA, and i don't want a new civil war in the States. The world is falling apart as is, and i don't want to make it worse
You don't have to worry about starting a Civil War in the U.S. All of these "activists" on the West and East coast are gonna push and push until we fall into a Civil War. When that happens, they'll sit back and complain about how bad war is while throwing the proverbial gasoline on the fire, never to lend a hand to those set ablaze!
@@JSchaffer214 Ok. Almost the entire world is on fire at the moment. War in Europe, mass protests in Asia, political unrest in South America, mass starvation in Africa and other bad stuff in and around Australia, like wild fires, even if that isn't covered by the news, because of the war kn Ukraine and the protests in China, plus the entire muslim world being mad at Sweden, because a guy burned a koran, and there's political unrest in Brazil at the moment, after Jair Bolsonaro lost the Brazilian election.
I'm same as you with art. Some of the digital art is awesome, but you can keep cubists, (like Picasso), and 'modern art', that's crap and pretentious.
I didn't find my twin in any piece of art in a museum. I found my twin in the photograph of the artist! When I first showed the photo (from a newspaper article) to an acquaintance of mine, she was astounded that I was actually an artist. How I wish. I can do some OK drawings and portraits, but nothing like what professionals like my doppelganger can do. :)
At 19:30 - WOW - that would be a great idea! An area where visitors are allowed to participate in a group painting? Fun!
Right!?!?! Leave a blank canvas and supplies and see what you get after an allotted amount of time! But i also feel like i would think the same if i saw art supplies in front of a painted on canvas... unless it had a ton of signage to say otherwise....
Disney dies it. You pay yo complete a section of paint by numbers and end of the day it's a mural.
I find that people who look like other people typically have extremely similar voices as well. Has anyone else made this observation?
Not yet, but Thank You for bringing that to light. Its more proof that these people bear close genetic similarity. Similarity on a deeper level than just facial appearance. I'm no geneticist or biologist. But for these people to have a twin from 500 years ago shows that the genetic wheel keeps right on turning, & eventually comes full circle ⚛🌎
Yes! I’ve totally noticed this. Strange huh lol
@@robinhays1011 Youre touching on genetic memory. Sure, there are cop families, fireman families, & military families. IMO in alot of these the son was just following in his father's footsteps. But in other cases you see where a child naturally takes to learning music, & right from the beginning, displays musical gifts
It's also true of sculptors, painters, & carpenters who, with little or no guidance from a teacher, teach themselves & attain mastery of their work
Personally I worked as an automotive repair professional. I was proficient at it only because both my grandfathers were farm boys & excellent teachers. Not because of natural aptitude, but I made a good living. The closer I got to 30, in my 20's, the more dissatisfied I became until I became miserable, & eventually I couldn't stand doing my job anymore
I believe the reason is farming runs in both my paternal & my maternal families. In the case of my paternal family, it goes back six generations, all the way to an original Scottish immigrant who was himself a farmer, back in the homeland. There's no denying or resisting such deeply-rooted hereditary inclinations. They are all the way into the core of ones bones & must be reckoned with. . .
Anyway, this explains why I could never work in the confines of an office environment. Why I always had to work outdoors, & why animals are naturally drawn to me. I also never possessed the fear of bees, wasps & reptiles that most people do. My great-grandfather was a farmer & a bee tamer who raised his own honey. Well, to end this story it wasnt until my work had me out on the land everyday & in contact with the animals that I was finally free. Finally at peace
Thank you for contributing! And thank you for allowing me to share this 💜❤
They're all probably distantly related. My nephew, as well as my youngest cousin and my dads cousins youngest son, all look like a historical figure from 500 years ago. Coincidentally we're related to him. I have several other family members who share similar features with this young historical figure and his father, but those three could be his carbon copies. There is another distant cousin, who looked similar to the figure in the painting (when he was younger) who is still alive today as well.
I have another cousin, (well my cousins eldest son) who looks like a painting of 3 brothers. Well 2 of the brothers that is, the youngest and the oldest (when he was at those ages). Convienently we are related to the three brothers as well (it too is a hisotorical painting, and could be about 400-500 years old). I hate when people try to put that sh!t down to time travel bullsh!t and all that, because its not. Its simple genetics. Look at their family trees, the living people AND those in the paintings. Eventually you'll find the link, even if its hundreds of years apart.
I used to work in a hospital. One day this man kept watching me. Then we stopped me and asked why I wasn't with our kids. I told him I don't know you. He asked if my name was Deanna I told him no. He told me I look like his wife. From how tall I was to my hair color and length and my weight. I'm her double.
that's one I have not heard yet.
…were you adopted, by any chance?
The "you should be in museum by now" clearly has been proven
Once my grandmother was in the local museum and she saw her uncle's painting

I'll have to warn my friend not to go to any museum, he might find a well preserved Cro-magnon man.
if you pause at 14:22 and stare at the black circle your brain will try to make two third of it lighter to give the impression of light falling in, and every time you see it, it jumps to another position while you can't stop the effect from happening no matter how hard you try
Of course you do need to "see" the slightly dark grey/"dusty black" area that suggests light falling in at the side you're looking at and as soon as you try to focus to see the effect it jumps to the part of the ring you try to focus on but, not the "angle" the "light" seems to fall in (at least that is what it did for me)
like if you see it too, I'm curious if it's just me or if it's one of those tricks of (the absence of) light that evolution of the visual part of our brains developed 'cause of our preference fo 3d depth vision
I haven't encountered any personal dopplegangers, but I did find one for a near relative of mine. My eldest full blood niece could be a twin to a young Queen Victoria; who just happens to be my 8th cousin, four times removed, on my dad's side of the family. Talk about enduring family resemblances. This was definitely one of them.

(11:10) It's a shame that the pranksters who placed the pineapple and the glasses couldn't have gotten them somehow put up for auction.
When I was in 8th grade, there was another student who looked exactly like me. I learned this from some of my class mates and have never actually seen him because we were never in the same place simultaneously. I had people coming up to me and talking to me about events which I'd never been apart of myself but my twin had. People would say things like hey great party last night or are we still hanging out this weekend? It was so weird but kind of cool at the same time.
Makes you wonder if you were adopted or separated at birth for some reason. At least it would make ME wonder. I'da been looking for that other person to meet them for sure. 😃
13:20 these arts really push me to make one, just to see how artists will react to it 😂😂😂😂
What makes this all even crazier is that these people just happen to be in the same area as the museum that holds the painting that resembles them, AND is visiting said museum… so just imagine how many MORE people out there look exactly like a painting somewhere in the world, but they just haven’t been standing in front of it yet.
I would so totally pull a prank like that in an art museum or art exhibition. Place a random object on an empty table and see if people fell for it.
Art is not slapping paint on a canvas, paint a portrait, that's art.
Fantastic!! I love it when something gets others to start using their noodle. Exercise those brains and minds people!!! Great video, thanks :)
I went to a museum with my family, and i saw pictures of three people that looked like my cousin,my brother and me. Those were right next to eachother and me and brother were happy while our family was in total shock
At 12:33 the crane falling was because of an over extended boom
That pineapple is no joke. It needs a case to protect it from consumption by humans. Also it may hurt our eyes from direct exposure of such a glorious fruit
The funniest part to me about that prank is that back when pineapples were first introduced to Europe, they really WERE considered that much of a rare treasure and status symbol! 😝 People would literally hire a pineapple to display as part of a fancy dinner party, because it made them look rich & was such a novelty. The art museum prank is just the pineapple returning to its former glory.... 😋
Now, Banksy's artworks is what we call true editorial art.
In 1980 at Yellowstone Park my Dad pulled over the side of the road and we all got out and he said be quiet and we did. He said point with me, so we all pointed the same area in a field where he was pointing. When the 7th car pulled over behind the last two RVs he says get in the car now. We jumped in the car and drove off. We had heard people carrying on about, did you see the elk? did you see the 🐻? it was an 🦅. There was nothing in the field. We laughed until We cried. 🤣😂
I found my doppelganger in an art museum in Germany it was so uncanny that my friends thought I time traveled to the 21st century but I reassured them I didn't since it was made in 1645 and I was born in 1997 and I was even wearing the exact same outfit as my doppelganger and my friend allianna snapped a picture of me next to the painting and we left after that but my one question that stayed in my brain
Was what was the girl name and was she a lost ancestor of my family? That question remains in my mind to this day and I still have no answer for it either and I saw the painting 5yrs later in a sellers museum at just 12,000 dollars so bought it and hung it in my bedroom next to my husbands doppelganger his was in the same sellers museum at around 19,000 dollars so he purchased it and hung it up two weeks before I purchased mine and three weeks later we found AR daughter's doppelganger at the same sellers museum at around 23,456 dollars so I purchased it and put it in her room and a week later I found my twin boys doppelgangers in the same sellers museum at just 45,678 dollars so I bought it and stuck it on a wall above their bed and they have been there ever since 😀😎
THAT'S SO WEIRD!

See, these are the types of people we want to see in movies that are portraying look a like characters.
Some of these are *spot on* but others are a stretch 😆
None of them are really spot on, I noticed several differences lol. But they are indeed similar at best.
Like the Zuckerberg doppelganger.
I remember when I saw myself in a painting I forgot what it was called though but she looked like a young black girl who resembled me quite a bit even my facial structure from the side which doesn’t happen often or at all really cuz I’ve always seen myself as a unique face guess not.
11:06 the sonic made laugh so bad I saw the portrait of my self

It’s weird enough to find yourself in a painting somewhere else in the world. Even stranger to actually come across it in person. What are the odds of that happening?!

This video was very interesting. Good stuff!
Not a museum, but a magazine. I found a picture of a girl who could have been me illustrating a 1962 article on what to do when your teenager is poorly groomed. It was a photo of someone who looked just like I did then, stringy hair, slumped posture and all.
On 6:38 is that a great value Jesus 😂😂😂 pls don't send me to hell for that.
Banksy is legendary.
That is all.
A possible twist: The person in the painting might be their great great parents or a person in the family tree (That probably passed away), So im not sure if this would be true.

I can't explain it, but I think our facial features and body structures are just "repeats" of somebody else irregardless of time, age, race and location. It's like a toy or a car with different style and color, but the chassis are similar. Let's say a certain man or woman has a similar facial feature and body structure to a person somewhere in Africa, in Asia, or in Europe. I've had times like watching a movie or bumping into a person and say, wait, they looked like someone I knew! You can find the evidence in the animal world, in which most of each specie are pretty much identical. It's like a program or some sort which is repetitive.
Agree
I'm sure art museums take anything as art nowadays to avoid the artists turning to politics.
I get the joke lmfao
🤣nice
25:25 if you want to leave art on the walls of modern civilization make sure it's your wall. Don't go vandalizing. Go to Walmart.
Love Banksy his artwork is incredible and should always and forever be honoured for his contribution to the art world a true inspiration for all struggling artists like myself
I live near the Flagler museum and have seen it multiple times. Its a must visit if u like history and u come to palm beach
Technically I found myself in a museum in the form of a portrait, but I created it. It was a self portrait project for the world's worst art class back in middle school and despite my clear demands that it wouldn't be displayed with the other, the teacher ignored me and even created a name tag for it because I refused to sign it. It's one of the bigger reasons why I refused to do any more projects for that class.
Once, I stayed in a hotel room and there was a painting on the wall of two girls in Victorian era, and they looked just like my sister and me when we were that age! Even our hair styles were similar! Creeped me out af!
Thank you so much for this entertaining video absolutely ❤loved it 👌🖼🎨🤣🤣🤣🤣⭐💯👍
I have several degrees in many different subjects, one being art. The best way to enjoy art 🎨 is to sit and stare, taking in every brush stroke it really is breathtaking
I found that painting of my doppelganger on the dust jacket of a book. Just my luck the book was titled "The Harlot By The Side Of The Road". I used it as a coffee table book for years and had many ask me if I had posed for it.
I have that book! Or I used to. I lost most of my books in a flood.
For Halloween or a special event, these museums should invite these ppl or pay them to dress up as their painting double.
I love the vid, but time travel actually does exist. It’s when you circle the earth at a speed so large, time goes slower. I don’t think I really got all the details on how this works so you can google,”does time travel exist?” And see what your answer is!! Again, I love the vids man, I always watch them on the bus and at home. Keep up the good work and stay safe from Covid and merry Christmas, have a good New year!!!
You're referring to The Flash, not reality :/
Imagine if you go to a museum and stand still just to take a rest after seeing too many arts, when you realize you are standing near a painting that looks like you.Feels like you being the main character.
Fascinating. ❤

for the hole; they should stick something into the ground beside the hole (a bit distant from it, to avoid falls) and tie rope to it that goes deep into the hole. visitors of the museum would be safer and the museum would have an interactive exhibit. You could check if its a hole or painting by pulling the rope instead of walking too close.
I still don't understand this haalp
@@FromenthalMedia pulleh da rope no fall in no hole. If you havent seen the video yet, watch, or spoiler alert🦙: theres a hole in the floor in a museum that looks like a sticker and people are curious, so they get too close. There are signs of precaution but people think its a prank and get too close however it is an actual hole so I'm saying tie a rope outside the hole that people can tug on making it an interactive piece and so people can remain safe.
Creepy..I was once at a mall parking lot getting ready to go home as I drove away i saw a guy walking with his family he turned around and he looked exactly like me ...we both stared at each other in amazement..never forgot that it was creepy as F 😳

I think the teenagers who thought they were just playing a prank were unknowingly creating art, by visually expressing themselves, and while the people who interpreted it might have been pretentious, art is subjective and has a different meaning for everyone who sees it.
