Computer uses 3D printing to recreate Rembrandt’s style

PanARMENIAN.Net - A computer has successfully recreated the style of Dutch master painter Rembrandt, Digital Spy said.

It analysed the master's works and then created a 3D-printed painting in the same style - the new piece of art was 3D printed to give it the same texture as an oil painting.

The two-year project was a collaboration between Microsoft, financial firm ING, Delft University of Technology and two Dutch art museums – Mauritshuis and Rembrandthuis.

Emmanual Flores, director of technology for the project, told the BBC: "We really wanted to understand what makes a face look like a Rembrandt."

To create the painting, humans had to digitally tag Rembrandt's works. Computers then gathered data on them, and discovered patterns in how they look. They then used machine learning (artificial intelligence) to ape his style.

Asked to paint a Caucasian male aged 30-40 with facial hear, wearing black clothes and a white collar and hat, facing to the right, the computer produced the above portrait.

It will be exhibited publicly at some point, though details of where and when are yet to be released.
