<p>A Lithuanian photographer has managed to create an incredibly lifelike image of the famous artist Vincent van Gogh which he revealed to the cameras on Thursday (January 17).</p><br /><p>The image was created using a look-a-like friend, some appropriate costume and digital tickery.</p><br /><p>The resulant image is remarkably similar to Van Gogh's 1889 self-portrait depicting himself with a hard face, ginger beard and green-rimmed eyes.</p><br /><p>Lithuanian photographer Tadas Černiauskas came up with the idea on a complete whim.</p><br /><p>"A few weeks ago I met a red-haired friend who reminded me of Vincent Van Gogh. I decided to do his portrait, he liked the idea, and after the session, and the day's post-production work on the computer this photo has been born, which, I think, reflects how the well-known painter could look now," he said.</p><br /><p>Van Gogh painted the portrait in September 1889 during his year-long stay at the psychiatric hospital at Saint Remy. It was during this time he produced many of his most iconic works.</p>
