Using Adobe’s new Firefly AI art program, Kody Young explores what might be beyond the artist’s original framing, for some of the most famous paintings of all time.

The artificial intelligence does an adequate job with most of the famous artwork, extending the canvas of these famous paintings, filling them in with additional landscape, buildings, or other details.  On others, it starts to break down, smearing the colors, or failing miserably on person detail.

Either way, it’s an interesting look at familiar artwork, potentially unearthing what the original painters saw beyond the frame of their masterpieces.

DaVinci’s Mona Lisa
Botticelli, The Birth of Venus
Bosch, The Garden of Earthly Delights
Van Gogh, Café Terrace at Night
Hopper, Nighthawks
Seurat, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte
Mondrian, Composition with Red Blue and Yellow
Van Gogh, The Bedroom
