the van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam started producing three-dimensional reproductions of the great masters. With the technology of 3D scanning and printing high resolution copies of work that their colors and texture do not differ from the originals. Museum Director Axel rüger (Axel Rüger) called these prints the new generation of reproductions, published in the third izmerenie@

Cost reproductions a new generation of suitable high — to 22 thousand pounds apiece. Using 3D scanners have already been created three-dimensional copies of paintings of "Blossoming almond tree" (1890), "Sunflowers" (1889), "the Harvest" (1888), "Wheatfield under thunderclouds" (1890) and "Boulevard de Clichy" (1887). Each painting corresponds to the work of a limited edition of 260 three-dimensional copies. It is planned to create 3D reproductions and other masterpieces from the van Gogh Museum's collection. Proceeds from the sale will go to support the Museum and its Sobranie@

a three-Dimensional reproduction, called a Relievo — "reliefs" are made by the Museum in collaboration with Fujifilm. Technology development took seven years and the production process is so complex, that in the day you can do no more than three "reliefs". Reproduced surround not only colorful surface, but also the back of the canvas with all notes, signatures, etc. Every Relievo is numbered and is checked by a curator.     

To the question, who will buy three-dimensional reproductions at the price for which you can buy another original work of art, Director of Ruger answered that the 3D copies and any other original works in the same price range are very different circles of consumers. Premiere 3D reproductions of van Gogh was held last month in Hong Kong, and the Museum van Gogh deliberately held it in the gallery and in the Mall. "The interest was overwhelming. Someone bought [reproduction] right on the spot. For anyone interested in van Gogh, it is an opportunity to be as close as possible to the original, not owning the original. And there is a special charm," commented a Ruger.  

And that no one had tried to give "relief" for the original work, each of them marked with a special seal do not remove. Three-dimensional reproduction will also be used for educational purposes in schools and in institutions for people with disabilities zreniya@
