The Great Painters and the Lens of Ai

» - «

Neurophotography project video announcement:

Utilizing advanced algorithms, AI creates images that capture the style and essence of painters like for example Pablo Picasso, Gustav Klimt, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio and Edgar Degas. These are visual interpretations of 12 selected masterpieces from the Renaissance to the modern era.

This project answers the question: What would the masterpieces of the great artists look like if they had used a camera instead of a brush? These works offer a new, fascinating perspective on classic masterpieces, blending the timeless beauty of classic art with the innovative possibilities of modern technology.

Each of the 12 works created will be a unique reinterpretation, preserving the essence of the original, but presented using 21st century technology. The project aims not only to celebrate the artistic legacy of the old masters, but also to inspire contemporary audiences to look at classic works from a new perspective. Exhibitions of these newly created works will be able to take place in galleries around the world, combining the worlds of art and technology in a unique and inspiring way. ``Paintings of the Masters through the Lens of AI`` is a bridge between the past and the present, taking art into a new era.
