Van Gogh -- who died 126 years ago -- is best known for his unique Post-Impressionist style, and his most famous works include "Sunflowers," "The Starry Night," along with his self-portraits.

After a friend told Baker that the global search for a lookalike was underway, he decided to send a photo of himself to see what would happen.

The man behind the competition is Canadian novelist Douglas Coupland -- best known for writing 1991 novel Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture-- who intends to enlist the winner as a model for an enormous bronze sculpture of Van Gogh's head.

Baker's red hair, beard and high cheekbones made him stand out in the contest as a strong contender.

Baker was asked to send in more photos of himself before taking part in a Skype interview before being named the 'most accurate' lookalike and a £4,000 ($4,975) prize.

Baker's face has already undergone a 3D scanning process so Coupland can create the bronze bust of the artist, which will go on display at a Canadian vineyard in 2017.
