The Lost Painting of a Century — AI Cross-Verification Reveals a Hidden Match with Van Gogh
This post introduces a dataset that compares The Tree Oil Painting — an unsigned and previously unrecognized artwork — with Van Gogh’s Seascape at Saintes-Maries (1888), using a custom-built AI system called TorqueBrush.
A visual torque field match of 99.24% was found between the two works. The painting was also analyzed via X-ray, SR-FTIR, and pigment degradation studies, supporting historical consistency.
What’s included:
- Full images: Tree Oil & Seascape (1888)
- Brushstroke torque heatmaps
- 18 AI-based visual techniques
- Sample torque data (CSV)
- README with methodology and citations
