Carl Adolf Feilberg A comparison of John Krasinski and the painting of Carl Feilberg

An 1835 portrait painting by Christen Købke at the Statens Museum in the Kunst in Copenhagen was noted by some to look very similar to American actor John Krasinski. Originally noted by a University of Michigan student, the picture was posted to Facebook and Reddit where the authenticity of the picture was questioned. John Krasinski responded to the story by saying, "Wow! Seems a little highbrow for NBC marketing.... But I like it!"

The Painting actually depicts Carl Adolf Feilberg a soap manufacturer. The similarity of Krasinski and Feilberg led to a viral campaign debating whether Krasinski had posed for the picture in 1835.

    Old men who never cheated, never doubted,
    Communicated monthly, sit and stare
    At the new suburb stretched beyond the run-way
    Where a young man lands hatless from the air.
