Artificial intelligence is being explored for its potential to reconstruct lost artworks, particularly the murals of Eugène Delacroix. The Schmidt Sciences nonprofit has launched a $10 million grant program to support initiatives like Digital Delacroix, led by Sorbonne University. This project aims to address longstanding questions about Delacroix's legacy using advanced AI techniques.
The collaboration involves experts like Barthélemy Jobert and Brent Seales, who will utilize AI to analyze Delacroix's style and create digital reconstructions of lost works. The project exemplifies interdisciplinary cooperation, merging art history with cutting-edge technology. By leveraging AI, researchers hope to deepen appreciation for Delacroix's contributions and enhance understanding of his artistic methods.
