Thanks for the appreciation! I made the machine learning model and wrote the article, happy to answer any questions.

Here's more information:

- This work will be part of an exhibition at the Museum of Rome starting from 27th Oct, where you can also see Klimt's 'Portrait of a Lady' that was missing for almost 23 years

- More Klimt artworks and articles: https://artsandculture.google.com/project/klimt-vs-klimt

View on HN

Is there anywhere the actual restored artworks in the article can be seen without having to navigate a lot of Web 3.0 gimmickry, or without having to scale up some 2000-era images the size of postage stamps?

I'll repeat my question.

Posting that on imgur.com has to be one of the most unintentionally ironic Web things I've seen.

That URL redirected me to one without the .png extension, which then proceeded to do a bunch of JS things and loading third-party resources, until about 5-10 seconds later I was presented with an empty page other than a "Log in with Google account?" overlay in the top right. :D

I wish I could share my screen recording, but even though I removed my cookies, it still somehow knew my account details.

Then, when I clicked your link a second time, it just loaded the image.

That's some next-level gaslighting.

Interesting, I've never seen any behavior like that on imgur. They're usually my go-to host for temporary images. Sorry for the inadvertent gaslighting, but now you really get my point...

For at least 3 years now, probably closer to 5 or more, Imgur have been doing deceptive redirects for "mobile" devices, gaslighting them while leaving "desktop" alone. In fact, it's nearly impossible to get the raw image file on Android/iOS.

I think my older OS was tagged as "mobile" accidentally.

What is shown on the Web is often not very accurate for fine-art color. Are the colorized versions posted somewhere in 48 bit depth in a wide-gamut color space?

Awesome work! Btw, you could have also submitted this as Show HN :).

What is the difference between coloring and colorizing?

Amazing work! Congratulations!
