Even connoisseurs would have trouble getting this painting from the real thing. The Next Rembrandt is made with data analysis and a 3D printer
The project The Next Rembrandt was one central question:. You can teach a computer to create a “real” Rembrandt ? A team of TU Delft, Microsoft, ING, consultancy firm J. Walter Thompson, the Mauritshuis Museum and the Rembrandt House Museum worked 18 months to decompose Rembrants work there to experience a new work of art. The result was unveiled this morning in Amsterdam.
For the project an analysis was made of Rembrandt’s complete oeuvre of 346 paintings. More than 168,000 fragments were analyzed pixel by pixel, including 3D scans. A mega-project, which resulted in 150 GB of high-resolution images. A software program was designed to “understand” Rembrandt’s work: how he made compositions, how was his line of work and how the materials
Facial recognition software was used to identify the typical geometric patterns used the painter at? human faces: how he made mouths, eyes and ears? The software learned from them how it could imitate his style to create a new painting
Next step:. Actually make a new Rembrandt. As a portrait subject was chosen by a white man between thirty and forty. It was first made him a 2D painting, and texture was applied to depth, as in Rembrandt’s original paintings. With in-depth analysis, the computer could mimic the brush strokes of a painter. A 3D printer could eventually print the whole ink with thirteen layers over each other
