Imagine knowing someone looked just like you centuries ago.

These art aficionado's found portraits of historical figures who resembled them in museums and galleries around the world.

This trend has come and gone in recent years, and we can thank Twitter user @Deenerys for bringing it back to the internet's attention now.

After their initial post went viral, people piled in with their own artistic coincidences.

Many who had not yet found their illustrated twin yet said they will not rest until they met their doppelgänger.
