Fujifilm is getting into the art forging trade. The company has partnered up with the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam to create three-dimensional replicas of the artist’s most famous pieces. It’s accomplished through a process called Reliefography, which Fujifilm says is the result of seven years worth of research and development. What it has come up with is stunning; by combining a 3D scan of a given work with a high quality print, Fujifilm is able to create replicas (or “Relievos”) that are nearly indistinguishable when placed against an original. Lending even more realism to the end product, the frame and back of each art relic are also reproduced with extraordinary detail. Only the most discerning eye would be able to spot a difference.
