Did Peter Paul Rubens time travel, or what?

Compare Portrait of Clara Serena Rubens with Maria Ruseva.

Not dissimilar, but I’m not really seeing it.

They look alike to you?

My God! Two children with child-like features! Call Mulder and Scully!

And after 400 years!

Wow, after 400 years, kids still look like kids! Amazing!

I will go waaaaay out on a limb and say, no.

Wait… are you saying a time travelling Pee Wee Herman is the father of Maria the gypsy girl? :confused:

You’re thinking of PAUL Rubens. The OP is about PETER Paul Rubens, the Flemish artist from the 16th-17th century.

OK, so did Pee Wee travel time or not?

Actually, the phenomenon of time travelling celebrities has been brought up before, by me. Several years ago, I answered the very important question that no one ever asked:

Did Sandra Bulloch time travel in order to get a modelling gig for an obscure fantasy novel cover?

Link is spoilered because it’s vaguely NSFW, that is, there is a lurid 1970s book cover reprinted. Plus the site it’s on has all sorts of NSFW imagery … there just isn’t any on that particular page:

Of course Sandra Bulloch did that. The interesting question is why?

Many of the models you see in TV commercials are between 13 and 16. I had a roommate once who was “discovered” by the Ford agency when she was 12. The next year she was doing print ads for cigarettes. (Does anyone remember the Benson & Hedges ad where the model is holding the cigarette between her fingertips at eye level? That was her.) When she was 16 she was on the cover of Paris Vogue. By the time she was old enough to drink, she had aged out.
So Sandra Bullock on the cover of a bodice ripper is no stretch at all.

I thought Peter Paul made some kind of chocolate candy. Or maybe that what he claimed he was doing when the cops picked him up for jerking off in a porno theater.

That’s funny, I thought Peter Paul was in a musical duo with Mary Travers and sang “Puff the Magic Dragon”.

PLEASE tell me this is a whoosh!

I’m guessing it is- in fact, I’d bet a fair amount of money on it.

I didn’t realize they were the same guy.
It explains much.
