D. Attach more importance to safety education.D

A new “Rembrandt” painting created in Amsterdam is making headlines around the world. However, the authentic-looking masterpiece is not the work of the 17th-century Dutch artist. It is a new painting that uses technology to imitate Rembrandt’s technique so perfectly that it could easily be mistaken for one created by the great artist himself.

It took a team 18 months to complete the clever fake. Called the “Next Rembrandt,” it uses data and technology to bring one of the greatest artists of all time back to life.

The team began by collecting data from the Dutch artist’s 346 paintings to help them imitate his technique, choice of color, structure, and topic, as closely as possible. Once ready, the individual elements were put together to form the face and the bust (半身像)in the same size as the original paintings created by the Dutch artist. The team then used technology to add depth to the 2D image. Once ready, a 3D printer was used to bring the “Next Rembrandt” back to life — a portrait of a white male between 30 and 40 years old, wearing black clothes, a white collar, and hat.

An expert in the team says the goal of the project was to start a discussion about how data and technology could become an essential part of the art world. While the project did receive some criticism from a few experts, many art historians including Rembrandt experts were incredibly supportive. They even acted as advisors to ensure that the “Next Rembrandt” would be a masterpiece — one that even the famous Dutch artist would be proud of.

Born in Amsterdam in 1606, Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn is one of the world’s most famous artists. The productive painter was famous for his portraits thanks to his ability to grab realistic emotions. Unfortunately, like many artists of his time, Rembrandt’s talents were not recognized during this lifetime. The artist died penniless in 1669, after suffering through many years of hardship.
