Being Dutch, I’m partial to famous painter Vincent van Gogh. His use of brush strokes and color is amazing and I could study his paintings for hours.
But now, I can do even more than that. Animator Mackenzie Cauley has created a 3D video of Van Gogh’s painting ‘The Night Café’ and it is stunning.

Cauley digitized the littlest details from the original painting and filled in the parts of the room that weren’t visible, all in typical Van Gogh style. Certain elements were animated, like a man resembling Van Gogh himself smoking a pipe and the radiating lights.
The result is a video that looks like Van Gogh painted it. Beautiful and somewhat surreal.
I’d like a Rembrandt next please (The Nightwatch!), how about you?
