Verus Art Creates Fully Textured 3D Printed Reproductions of Famous Paintings - 3DPrint.
It’s obvious why museums forbid visitors from touching works of art, but I know I’m not alone when I say I’ve been tempted to step up to a painting and lightly run my fingertips over its surface. So many great works of art are much more than just their color and composition – it’s their texture, the visible sweep of paint and the thickness of brush strokes that make them so striking. This is true for certain artists in particular – like, for instance, Van Gogh, a master of the impasto technique of slapping down thick layers of paint in forceful strokes.
While it’s easy to find a print of your favorite painting, mass-produced prints never live up to the original, especially where artists like Van Gogh or Monet, another fan of thick paint and heavy brush strokes, are concerned. Without the texture of the paint, Starry Night just looks, well, flat. It’s still beautiful, but once you’ve seen the original in a museum, a reproduction just can’t compare.
While 3D printing has opened up an entirely new medium in visual art, it’s been mostly separate from more traditional art forms like painting.
Georgia-based Verus Art, however, is blurring the lines by using 3D scanning and printing to create fully textured reproductions of famous paintings. Vancouver-based Arius Technology, one of the three companies that makes up Verus Art (along with Atlanta-based Larson Juhl, a Berkshire Hathaway company, and Venlo-based Océ, a Canon company), has developed a highly specialized, precise painting scanning process that captures both the color and the height of every millimeter of the painting surface to a tolerance of less than a human hair.

The scans are then converted into 3D models and 3D printed with an Océ full-color elevated printer. Special technology developed by Verus Art ensures that the colors of the print are as close as possible to the colors of the original paint, and each master print is taken to a museum curator for comparison with the original before being approved.
The results are paintings that may as well be clones of original works.
If you’ve got a few thousand dollars, you can purchase your own 3D printed reproduction of your favorite painting to study up close, to touch and examine its texture without being accosted by museum security guards.
Now Verus Art has introduced a new collection of twelve paintings reproduced from the National Gallery of Canada. The collection includes several works from textural masters Van Gogh and Monet, as well as other European luminaries such as Degas, Gauguin, Cézanne and Canadian painters Tom Thomson and Frederick Varley. Prices range from $500 to $5,050.

“The launch of the National Gallery of Canada Collection reflects a significant technical achievement and a number of years of research by Arius Technology, Larson-Juhl and Océ,” said Drew Van Pelt, CEO of Larson-Juhl, which creates frames for the paintings. “Until now, fine art reproductions were two-dimensional, lacking depth and texture. By accurately reproducing the colour and relief of the artist’s brushstrokes, art enthusiasts have a more engaging experience, faithful to the artist’s original intent and vision.

Portions of the proceeds from the limited edition collection will be used to establish a Verus Art educational fund, while the royalties the National Gallery of Canada receives from each sale will also go towards educational programming. The Gallery will be provided with several 3D printed reproductions for its own use in outreach and education, too, and the digital files will be made available for scientific analysis and conservation programs.
“To be able to assist in the development of a technology that will change the way we document and reproduce cultural heritage was an interesting opportunity,” said Stephen Gritt, Director, Conservation and Technical Research, National Gallery of Canada. “The scan data is incredibly rich and will lead to new avenues of research within Technical Art History. The resulting prints provide so much more information than flat images-they give you a direct connection to the artist by showing the nature of the brushwork, the texture of the paint, and physical interplay of tints.
Most important for us was how we could use the prints for education as part of our Distance Learning Program –that’s a new frontier well worth exploring.”
Of course, no replica, even an extremely accurate 3D one, can ever take the place of an original painting crafted by an artist’s hands. The 3D printed reproductions from Verus Art may be just about as close as many people ever get to seeing their favorite pieces in their full glory.
“The National Gallery of Canada has been an incredible partner in this adventure, not only with providing access to their collection but sharing with us their vision for the future of art and heritage,” said Paul Lindahl, CEO, Co-Founder and Director of Arius Technology. “Now with our Verus Art partners Larson-Juhl and Océ, we are ready to lead the transformation of the multi-billion dollar fine art reproduction industry from its 2D past into a 3D future, changing the way people from around the world experience art.”

AI World Masterpiece Reproductions
If you've been to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, you've probably noticed empty picture frames hanging everywhere, serving as a reminder of the greatest unsolved robbery in human history. Although the original artwork is unlikely to be recovered, a team of scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) volunteered to help the museum with a new system aimed at creating reproductions of world masterpieces.
nine0003
The new RePaint program uses 3D printing and deep learning technologies to achieve the closest match between the copy and the original, regardless of the lighting or position of the latter. The possibilities of using RePaint are enormous, from simply copying a work of art for home decor to protecting originals from wear and tear or theft in museums. The creators hope that in the future the new system will be able to print postcards and small copies of the world's masterpieces for sale. nine0003
As Kim Changli, one of the co-authors of a recently published paper on the RePaint program, noted, if a reproduction of a painting copies the color exactly as it appears in the gallery, the color gamut of the copy may differ from the gamut of the original in a normal home environment. RePaint works regardless of the lighting in which the original is placed. The technology allows for better reproduction, reaching a level of accuracy that was not previously available in other studies in this area.
nine0003
In testing RePaint, a team of scientists used reproductions of a series of original oil paintings specially created by a fellow artist for the project. The results of the study exceeded all expectations: it turned out that the accuracy of the reproduction of colors in copies created by the program is on average four times higher than when analyzing works written by hand.
The program was creating reproductions of paintings the size of a credit card due to the low performance of the printer: it takes a long time to create a copy of the painting. In the future, the research team plans to use new models of commercial 3D printers, presenting the world's masterpieces on a much larger, real-world scale. nine0003
In everyday life, we often use 2D printers to print pictures and images, but you need to understand that their functions are very limited.
Their cartridges are programmed to use four different tones: cyan (blue-green), black, yellow and magenta (magenta). However, more recently, scientists have invented a new technology that will better capture the masterpieces of Degas and Dali. This program uses the principle of pixel coloring (color-contoning) for an inkjet printer, loading ten transparent ink bubbles into a 3D printer at once and forming long thin rows of them, which is similar to the position of wafers in KitKat. The new method was combined with the old way of creating a halftone image in 2D printers, in which the image is printed by coloring each dot individually. Combining the latest and already familiar technologies, the authors of the work hope to achieve a unique quality of reproduction of the color gamut of the picture. nine0003
Despite the appearance of a new, expanded palette of colors, the question of choosing inks for certain paintings, differing in shades and brightness, remains open. However, in order to save time choosing inks for each new reproduction, the team of scientists reprogrammed the system, adding the ability to predict the optimal amount of color and shadows required.
The program is under active development.
It is expected that after the new technology is improved, it will be actively used to improve the image quality of individual details of the picture, significantly increasing the accuracy of reproduction. nine0003
Despite progress in this area, scientists warn that the system is still not perfect enough: the program must be improved before reproductions of the famous "Starry Night" by Van Gogh will be in all the museums of the world. An exact copy of the entire color gamut cannot be reproduced at this stage of the work. For example, the reproduction of cobalt blue is difficult due to the limited color palette of the ink. In the future, the research team plans to significantly expand the library of available tones in a 3D printer by creating a new algorithm for selecting and distinguishing colors from available inks. The team also hopes to improve the reproduction of detail by focusing on aspects such as the texture of a painting's surface and using its specular reflection data to achieve a glossy or darkened effect.

Current trends show that the value of fine arts in the eyes of society has increased significantly. For this reason, more and more people want to get a meaningful, rare original painting into their home and hide the treasure from prying eyes. And technology seeks to counter this trend by creating open, public art for everyone, regardless of income level or social status.

We have already written about this talented author in our 3D printed articles. Let's take a look at his new work.
In the 19th century, reproductions of the most outstanding works of sculptural art were made in plaster. Plaster copies of classical sculptures were circulated around the world to museums, universities and private collections of art lovers, especially the sculpture of Venus de Milo, created in the 2nd century BC.
nine0003
But the tradition of plaster reproduction of sculptures died out in the early 1900s. Many significant gypsum collections were destroyed, while some of them were lost or deliberately destroyed. Today, only a few significant collections of plaster sculptures remain. But the situation can be improved with the help of 3D printing, according to California artist Cosmo Venman, who recently published the first 3D images of two famous examples of Greek art: the Venus de Milo and the Winged Victory of Samothrace. nine0003
3D artist Cosmo Wenman believes that 3D printing has the potential to change the art world. Over the past few years, Wenman has been 3D-scanning masterpieces in museums in order to later use these scans to print life-size reproductions. In addition, he laid out 3D files in the public domain so that anyone could print their own copy of the masterpiece they liked on a 3D printer.
In June 2013, Wenman launched the ' ThroughaScanner , Skulpturhalle ' Kickstarter campaign, through which he planned to 3D print all of the city's outstanding plaster and sculpture files for each of them.
