Have you watched a movie and thought "this is a work of art, this frame seems could be a painting"? Well, it happens that sometimes that's exactly the case. Some directors like to pay homage to beautiful paintings and try to recreate the painting in a movie. Here are some of the scenes you may have seen and impressed, but never knew they were inspired by a painting.

1. Free Django vs The Blue Boy

Did you think the blue clothes had been invented by Tarantino? She was definitely inspired by 1770 painting by Thomas Gainsborough.

2. Melancholy vs. Ophelia

This is really amazing, do not you think? Lars von Trier is a geniusale in this reference toOphelia, Painting of John Everett Millais, is very well done. It's not a copy, it looks different, but you can clearly see the influence.

3. Inherent addiction vs. The last supper

We are sure Paul Thomas Anderson thought it would be hilarious to recreateThe last supper, But with pizza.

4. Forrest Gump vs The World of Cristina

This scene in Forrest Gump looks like it could be the painting of Andrew Wyeth, but from a different perspective. Do not you think?

5. Girl with pearl earring vs girl with pearl earring

This is more than obvious. The main objective was to recreate the famous painting of Johannes Vermeer, calledGirl with pearl earring, And it looks like Peter Webber chose the perfect actress for that. Scarlett Johansson looks exactly with the girl in painting.

6. Dunkirk vs hiker on the ocean

Although the climate is very different, the image seems strangely similar. The fog and smoke have the same effect and colors are almost the same.

7. Island of Fear vs The Kiss

You saw this scene inFear Island And did you think she looked a bit like Gustav Klimt's painting? We also thought, but was it intentional? We would have to ask Martin Scorsese, but knowing how he is, he was definitely intentional.

8. Thomas Crown - The Art of Crime Vs. The son of man

This clothes looks very familiar, is not it? Well, they even refer to the movie, so we know it was done on purpose. I do not think it's possible to wear someone thus accidentally.

9. Frida vs and Frida and Diego Rivera

This famous Frida painting was really mentioned in a scene in the 2002 movie and it's amazing how they represented all the details. Does anyone else think this movie should have won a lot more prizes than he won?
