How Math Can Help Decode Art

The video explores the intersection of math and art, demonstrating how mathematical techniques can uncover hidden details in artworks. It discusses the use of convolutional filters to identify features in images, such as cracks in the Ghent Altarpiece, and the application of X-ray imaging to reveal hidden layers in paintings. The video also highlights how mathematical models can help identify artists by analyzing brushwork patterns, using Van Gogh's works as an example.
