I went to a local art museum yesterday and I was shivering to my core. AI has made it into a museum.

The right panel is the third panel of a 17th century triptych (oil on wood). The left is an AI generated image with white painted letters over it.

I’ll try to keep it short as to why I don’t like this piece of “Art”.

A 17th century piece (which looks very pretty and well painted) completely taken out of its value, place, context ... Placed between “modern art”.

The panel was part of a triptych. Remake it at least as such or don’t add any additional work, as it was never ever intended to be displayed as such. (You can have them mirrored, but leave space between them).

Call me dumb, but my first instinct when I saw it was “both are fake”. The AI image looks good. But I really had to get close to find the paint cracks on the right panel to assure myself.

17th century art is as photorealistic as painted art got. The portrayal of emotions, movement, action, thought and light have never been more accurately put to life. On the left a dude just added a bunch of words into a computer….

Mind you, this picture was taken April 4th. The work dates “2024”. Some dude just really did this and the museum was like “gimme!” There hasn’t even gone time over it for the world to do something with it. No (online) debate, no gallery display, no articles,… it was just… made and hung up.

The artist didn’t even come up with an original idea (a Frenchmen in the 1970s did something similar). He didn’t even have the skill to manually create the mirror image. He just went to his computer, got himself white paint and had good enough handwriting to at least write in a straight line. “Art”

I’m not enough of a pro to go more in depth. Also art is never singular. Please, let’s start the debate. I’m curious to hear everyone’s vision on this.

Rembrandt van Rijn (Dutch, 1606-1669) • The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp • 1632 • The Hague, Netherlands

Italian and Spanish Baroque art was largely religious and mythological. The northern Baroque painters of Holland and Germany, however, tended toward scenes of daily life and portraits. Their art was secular due to Prostistanism, which prohibited the veneration of religious images.

Rembrandt van Rijn was one of the most celebrated artists of the Dutch Baroque. His masterful treatment of light and shadow earned him great respect as a painter. He received many commissions from organizations who requested group portraits of its members. Rembrandt’s remarkable sense of composition allowed him to arrange multiple figures without compromising any subject's visibility.

The painting The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp was commissioned by the Amsterdam Guild of Surgeons. The archives preserved the names of every person in the painting, even that of the dead man depicted being dissected by Doctor Tulp. The man, Aris Kindt, was a criminal sentenced to death for armed robbery. It was common for authorities to relinquish the bodies of deceased criminals to medical students and it mostly took place in fall and winter to avoid rapid decay.
