[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Max Galuppo would have fit right in with the Renaissance.



Galuppo, a Temple University student, found his doppelganger in a 16th century Italian painting by an unknown artist titled Portrait of a Nobleman with Dueling Gauntlet.



The painting came to the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 1917 with the works in the John G. Johnson collection.



'It was really weird. He goes to Temple so we'd been saying for a while we wanted to go to the art museum,' his girlfriend, Nikkie Curtis, told ABC News.



'We went into the armor exhibit and he loved the helmets. He was completely oblivious to it, and I walked past it and was like, 'Do you see this painting right now? It looks just like you.''



The 735 Reddit users who've commented on the photo since Curtis uploaded it Sunday night agreed.

Maybe it's an ancestor?
