Learn how technology helped restore disappeared Klimt masterpieces
Gustav Klimt’s three masterpieces: Medicine, Jurisprudence, and Philosophy were destroyed during the Second World War. Only black and white photos and articles describing the paintings remain.
The Google Arts & Culture Lab team in partnership with Belvedere have collaborated to restore Klimt’s Faculty paintings. They used one remaining color detail from the Medicine painting, literary sources, and made a Machine Learning algorithm to use that information to restore the paintings.
