The Woman Who Saw Herself in a Painting
While visiting a museum in Madrid, a woman came across an old 17th-century painting – and nearly fainted. The woman depicted not only looked remarkably like her, but she even had the same mole on her cheek and an identical medallion.
Experts confirmed that the portrait belonged to a noble family, with whom she was apparently related. Her family had been unaware of this for centuries. The visit to the museum led her to a completely new family history – triggered by a picture that looked like a mirror image of herself.
