2.09.2022 - Using X-rays, artificial intelligence and 3D printing, two UCL researchers reproduced a 'lost' work of art by renowned Dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh, 135 years after he painted over it.
The team trained a neural network on other examples of the artists' works, teaching it to accurately reconstruct from an X-ray-style image.
Neuroscientist Anthony Bourached and physicist George Cann worked alongside mathematician Jesper Eriksson to produce the re-creation (pictured).
This is not the first time that art experts have made extraordinary findings in the works of the famous artist. Using X-rays, one expert discovered a hidden painting under the 1903 masterpiece "The Blind Man's Meal". Last year, two doctoral researchers used AI to recreate the hidden painting dubbed "The Lonesome Crouching Nude".
