Objective
  • To scientifically measure Rembrandts palette

  • scan Rembrandts paintings
  • write a computer program to measure
    red/green/blue (RGB) values for each pixel in
    Rembrandts paintings
  • write a computer program to convert the levels of
    RGB to hue/ saturation/value (HSV)

4
the early years. . .
  • The Baroque Period
  • The later period of the Renaissance (1600-1750)
  • Dynamic look
  • Use of strong diagonals
  • Clashing light and shadows

32
Results
  • Consistencies
  • Warm paintings
  • Small range of hues
  • concentration around red
  • Violet/blue outliers
  • Low saturation
  • Subtleties in color
  • Generally below 60
  • Smooth value curve
