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

This may be more than a dataset — it may be a rediscovery.
