  1. Re:License? by tonique · · Score: 2 · on Nearly 1,000 Paintings/Drawings By Vincent Van Gogh Now Digitized, Released Online (openculture.com)

    When you go to the zooming page for each painting and click the download button, you get a link to the terms and conditions (hope the link works).

    1. Images of the Van Gogh Museum collection up to and including A4 size in TIF format may be downloaded and distributed for non-commercial use, with the exception of images of works by artists in our collection that are still subject to copyright, in other words by artists who have been dead for less than 70 years. These include Pierre Bonnard, Charles-Louis Houdard, Artistide Maillol (died 27 September 1944), Henri Rivière and Kees van Dongen.

    They prohibit commercial use. That isn't defined, though. And the download link goes to a jpg.

    Tulips, Cannabis, Absinthe, Prostitutes,
    (on a more serious note): Oil, M. C. Escher, Vincent Van Gogh, Peace Treaties (a plurality, even), and Really Nice Airlines that could benefit from this technology.

  4. Re:Somewhat as if they were painted by Van Gogh! by wfaulk · · Score: 1 · on Image Processing By Example
    Unfortunately, it appears that the sample they gave it to learn from contains a vast majority of horizontal brush strokes, as Van Gogh tried to emulate the rippling of the water and match that in the night sky. The only non-horizontal strokes are in the stars, very slightly in the buildings and in the boat at the bottom. I wonder what it would have looked like if they had taught it from Sunflowers or Irises or even The Bedroom.

    It would be even more interesting to take The Bedroom and produce a before picture for it that straightens the odd angles and de-fisheyes it. What sort of schizophrenic things might it produce then?
