You can “resurrect” Rembrandt , a painter who died more than three centuries ago? No, but you can try to emulate their work, thanks to modern technologies. They arrived at this result, researchers from the University of Delft thanks to a software and a 3D printer .
It took eighteen months to get to have “the next Rembrandt” ie a picture that reflects the artistic style of the famous painter, who died in 1669, unveiled for the first time today by the research team. The goal was not to prove that a car can be brilliant as a human being, but to show the progress of the technology and how it can change the way we perceive things.
On the other hand, “we are creating something new from her job. Only Rembrandt could make a Rembrandt “has immediately clear Bas Korsten, one of the architects of the project. “No one will ever say that Rembrandt can be reduced to an algorithm” echoed Gary Schwartz, art historian. That said, “this technique offers the opportunity to test their own ideas about his paintings in concrete form and visual.” A learning tool and assessment.
How was it achieved this result? In the space of eighteen months, a software developed by a group of engineers from Microsoft, the Rembrandt House Museum Technical University of Delft, Amsterdam and the Mauritshuis in The Hague, has studied more than 168,000 fragments of the paintings original by Rembrandt, trying to understand the style and the foundations of his portraits.
from this research was born 148 million pixels, the result of which is certainly surprising. Only an expert could distinguish this 3D printed picture (and consists of thirteen layers of ink) from a real Rembrandt.
The search began as many others with a simple question, by a curiosity: we can do? we can take up the legacy of a painter and propose a plausible job? The result is before our eyes.
