Kyffin Williams: Digital Analysis of Paintings.

Sir John “Kyffin” Williams was a landscape painter from Wales who’s work was predominantly based in Wales and Patagonia. His work, and associated metadata collected by the National Library ofWales, allows for some inter esting analysis; particularly that of temporal or geological data for a given painting.

Temporal analysis will be the focus of this project as it allows for a diverse range of techniques; from statistical analysis of RGB values of the paintings to looking at the length and style of paintbrush strokes. The ultimate aim of this being to accurately place the year of a given painting which has no metadata collected.

abstract: >-
  Computer vision has addressed many problems in art,
  but has not yet looked in detail at the way
  artistic style can develop and evolve over the
  course of an artist's career. In this paper we take
  a computational approach to modelling stylistic
  change in the body of work amassed by Sir John
  “Kyffin” Williams, a nationally renowned and
  prolific Welsh artist. Using images gathered from
  catalogues and online sources, we use a
  leave-one-out methodology to classify paintings by
  year; despite the variation in image source, size,
  and quality we are able to obtain significant
  correlations between predicted year and actual
  year, and we are able to guess the age of the
  painting within 15 years, for around 70% of our
  dataset. We also investigate the incorporation of
  expert knowledge within this framework by
  consdering a subset of paintings chosen as
  exemplars by a scholar familiar with Williams'
  work.
