Website called AI portraits turns your selfies into artistic portraits

A new website can turn your selfies into Renaissance works of art by re-imagining them in classical portrait form. There's a number of styles included in the database, covering artists from Rembrandt to Titian to van Gogh which allows it to render your face in oil, watercolour or ink. Unlike similar apps like FaceApp, the algorithm here is not merely'painting over' your face in a new style, according to the Verge. Using Deep Learning, the researchers loaded paintings from the Early Renaissance to contemporary art to help train the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) models. MailOnline's Peter Lloyd had his image converted into a moustache-adorned Victorian MailOnline health editor Stephen Matthew (pictured) turned his Facebook profile picture of him sitting in a filed into a classical portrait with dense eyebrows.
