"Google Arts and Culture" App Reveals Your Famous Portrait Doppelgänger
If you've ever wondered if you might have a classic art doppelgänger out there, you don't have to visit every single museum in the world to find out for sure. (Although, let's be honest, those photos of people posing with their museum lookalikes are pretty hilarious.) Thanks to the new "Google Arts and Culture" app, you can now discover which famous portrait looks most like you — with a few taps of your phone.
Here's how it works: To get your results, all you have to do is snap a photo of yourself, and let the app do the rest. Unfortunately, the platform doesn't support photo uploads from your camera roll, so you have to be selfie-ready (and in good lighting, of course.)
After your photo is taken, the app will show you your artistic twins — along with a percentage that denotes how good the match is. You're then presented with a side-by-side image: you, and your portrait doppelgänger, just ready to be Instagrammed.
If you're still not sold, head on over to Rowan Blanchard's Instagram story to see the app in action. The Girl Meets World actress shared her results: Portrait of an Old Lady by Vittore Ghislandi. I have to say, it's a bit of a stretch, but maybe it's a prediction of how Rowan will look in her twilight years. Either way, the app is definitely a good way to pass the time — and certainly makes for funny social media content.
