Comparison of Georgia the cat with a painting by Samuel van Hoogstraten, created using Pet Portraits, a feature of the Google Arts & Culture App. In 2018, Google put their impressive artificial intelligence to use in a new way. People took selfies and uploaded snaps on the Google Arts & Culture app. The app then analyzed your appearance and found doppelgängers throughout hundreds of years of art history. Even celebrities jumped on the trend by posting their unlikely look-alikes.

Does your pooch look like a Picasso or your gerbil a Gauguin? Well, you can find out thanks to a Google feature that reveals which famous artwork your pet resembles. Part of the Google Arts & Culture app, Pet Portraits uses machine learning algorithms to scan a photo of your pet and find the best matches from hundreds of years of art. The system works with various animals including cats, dogs birds, fish, horses, rabbits and reptiles, and is available on Android and iOS. It builds upon the success of Art Selfie, a similar feature launched in 2018 that let us humans find our eerie doppelgängers from the world of fine art.

Back in 2018, the Google Arts & Culture app introduced a feature that looks your doppelgänger in works of art. It's searched for matches for more than 120 million selfies so far. Now, the app can look for animals in art that resemble your pets too. Using a machine learning algorithm, Pet Portraits matches a snap of your furry, finned or feathered friend against tens of thousands of works from Google's partner institutions. The app might determine that the best match for your pet is in a piece of street art from Mexico or a cat figurine from ancient Egypt.
