Computer paints 'new Rembrandt'

[Still Waters]

A team of technologists working with Microsoft and others have produced a 3D-printed painting in the style of Dutch master Rembrandt.

The portrait was created after existing works by the artist were analysed by a computer.

A new work was then designed to look as much like a Rembrandt as possible - while remaining an original portrait.

It was then 3D-printed to give it the same texture as an oil painting.

Well the good news is that complex computer learning algorithms are capable of creating new works of art modeled after some of the most talented humans to ever live.

The bad news is that a computer now has a greater level of artistic mastery than I shall ever possess.
