gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-10-12 06:10:09

After 80 years of being lost, Giuseppe Ghislandi’s Portrait of a Lady has finally been recovered. After it briefly appeared in an online real estate listing last month, the family that was in possession of the painting turned it in to the Argentinian authorities. The painting, a portrait of Contessa Colleoni, was one of more than 1,000 that were looted by Nazis from the collection of Jewish art dealer Jacques Goudstikker during World War II, and was last seen in 1940, according to the Lost Art

Famous Painting Looted by Nazis Spotted on Real Estate Website, Disappears Again

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-10-25 22:45:38

More than 80 years ago, the master painting of Portrait of a Lady by Italian painter Giuseppe Ghislandi was stolen by Nazis from a Jewish art dealer in Amsterdam. It hadn’t been seen since it went missing–until this week, when it was spotted in a real estate listing for a home for sale in Argentina. And while that may have seemed like a mystery solved, The Guardian reports that once the portrait was spotted, it suddenly went missing again. The painting, a portrait of Contessa Colleoni, was one

Fix damaged art in hours with AI

In his study, Alex Kachkine, SM ’23, presents a new method he’s developed that involves printing the restoration on a very thin polymer film that can be carefully aligned with a painting and adhered to it or easily removed. As a demonstration, he used the method to repair a highly damaged 15th-century oil painting he owned. First he used traditional techniques to clean the painting and remove any past restoration efforts. Then he scanned the painting, including the many regions where paint had f

The Mary Queen of Scots Channel Anamorphosis: A 3D Simulation

The Mary Queen of Scots Channel Anamorphosis: A 3D Simulation May 17, 2025 Roscoe, N.Y. I’ve been going down some odd rabbit holes recently while researching my free online book-in-progress The Lost Art of Logarithms. Although the book is mostly focused on the history, use, meaning, and importance of logarithms, I believe that even histories of science and mathematics profit by being placed within political, cultural, social, and religious contexts. This is particularly true of John Napier’s

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-28 16:21:00

A long-lost avant garde painting has returned to Hungary after nine decades thanks to a sharp-eyed art historian, who spotted it being used as a prop in the Hollywood film Stuart Little. Gergely Barki, 43, a researcher at Hungary’s national gallery in Budapest, noticed Sleeping Lady with Black Vase by Róbert Berény as he watched television with his daughter Lola in 2009. “I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw Bereny’s long-lost masterpiece on the wall behind Hugh Laurie. I nearly dropped Lola

Cracking the Mondrian Code (2017)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-20 15:44:31

When the artist Piet Mondrian died in the winter of 1944 at the age of 71, he was in the midst of working on a painting he had told people would be the definitive expression of his aesthetic ideals. The work, entitled “Victory Boogie Woogie,” in homage to American jazz, had absorbed his entire focus for more than a year. In the last ten days of his life, while suffering from acute bronchitis, he worked on the painting to the exclusion of all else, tacking onto the canvas small squares of colore

MIT student prints AI polymer masks to restore paintings in hours

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-03-03 14:32:33

MIT graduate student Alex Kachkine once spent nine months meticulously restoring a damaged baroque Italian painting, which left him plenty of time to wonder if technology could speed things up. Last week, MIT News announced his solution: a technique that uses AI-generated polymer films to physically restore damaged paintings in hours rather than months. The research appears in Nature. Kachkine's method works by printing a transparent "mask" containing thousands of precisely color-matched region

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2026-03-13 13:50:46

If you’re traveling to Paris in the near future, there is some bad news and some good news. The bad news: you likely won’t be able to see the Mona Lisa or any of the masterpieces hanging inside the Louvre, because it’s currently shut down. The good news: You’ll get to see a strong labor movement at work. On Monday, staff at the world’s most-visited museum went on strike, forcing the museum to close its doors over concerns about the effects of mass tourism, according to the Associated Press. The

It’s nearly impossible to buy an original Bob Ross painting (2021)

news.ycombinator.com Zachary Crockett 2026-03-14 16:21:52

Bob Ross is not a hard man to find. Though he died in 1995, the late TV painter remains an omnipresent cultural staple. His Chia Pet perm, nap-inducing voice, and meme-worthy sayings — “Happy little trees!” — have transcended time. On YouTube, old episodes of his show, The Joy of Painting, boast ~450m views. Online, you can acquire Bob Ross paints, Bob Ross brushes, Bob Ross underwear, Bob Ross coffee mugs, Bob Ross energy drinks, Bob Ross watches, and Bob Ross toasters. But there’s one thing

Have a damaged painting? Restore it in just hours with an AI-generated “mask”

The restoration is printed on a very thin polymer film, in the form of a mask that can be aligned and adhered to an original painting. It can also be easily removed. Kachkine says that a digital file of the mask can be stored and referred to by future conservators, to see exactly what changes were made to restore the original painting. Still, there has been no way to translate digital restorations directly onto an original work, until now. In a paper appearing today in the journal Nature, Alex
