is it possible according the laws of physics to have two bodies the the size of the moons depicted in the painting that close together??? or would one of them be pulled into the other?

Yes. Even suns can be quite close together.
Also, one body could be X times larger, yet X times farther away yielding the same angular size, like the Sun & Moon at eclipse.
It is a neat artist’s rendition, but I think the lighting on the crescents is off…
They wouldn’t have facing crescents, for one thing. They could be on the same side, with one much further out but larger, and the planet would be in orbit around it, with the smaller, nearer body in orbit around the planet.
