Artificial intelligence has made it possible to apply the style and mastery of a chosen painting by a great artist, for example Frans Hals, to a photographic image. It is not a filter in the classical computergraphics sense, it is an entirely different approach. The artificial intelligence has the ability to emulate the brushstrokes of the given master, the atmosphere and the colours. This was not possible before 2017. In these examples I took photographs of famous people ( Berlusconi, H.Clinton, Obama and Lord Rothschild ) and gave the AI the task to paint them in the style of the old masters. The series is about powerful people laughing ( their way to the bank ) .
