Date posted: 24/12/2009 Dutch researcher Igor Berezhnoy has developed computer algorithms to support art historians and other art experts in their visual assessment of paintings. His digital technology is capable of distinguishing a forgery from an authentic Van Gogh based on the painter's characteristic brush work. Though the use of artificial intelligence made a relatively late debut in the field of cultural heritage, computer algorithms are now steadily finding their way in this new domain. Tilburg University PHD student Igor Berezhnoy has examined the extent to which colour analysis computer programmes can contribute to analysing the authenticity of paintings. He developed computer algorithms, which he tested on digital reproductions of Van Gogh's paintings. Using digital processes, he also studied how trademark features of brush work can reveal the identity of a painter. The Van Gogh Museum and the Kr?ller-M?ller Museum in the Netherlands have been closely involved in this research project.
