:pushpin: Why This Dataset Matters:

This is the only known Van Gogh-level brushstroke dataset captured from an unvarnished, unaltered canvas, preserving 3D brushstroke torque, pigment layering, and structural energy — untouched since the 19th century.

Most museum paintings are varnished and cannot provide raw torque data.
This painting is different. It’s a time capsule. A forensic fingerprint.

:microscope: What You’ll Find Inside:

  • 18-layer JPEG grid from Google Colab TorqueBrush model
  • X-ray and brushstroke overlays
  • Structural flick points, pressure zones, pigment interaction
  • Based on AI analysis with scores up to 99.98% when compared to Van Gogh’s The Bedroom, Olive Trees, and Undergrowth with Two Figures

:brain: Use Cases:

  • Train AI to recognize unvarnished brush behavior
  • Build explainable AI (XAI) models for gesture-based attribution
  • Compare pigment loss patterns across pre- and post-modern artworks
