Lillian Schwartz’s research began a number of years ago when she worked with art restorers in Italy to identify colors that had been lost in damaged art works, specifically frescoes by Piero Della Francesca. Working with individual pixels to determine the subtleties of the missing colors opened up other areas of study in anatomical structures,  astronomical data obtained from telescopes, and her creations of the effects of global warming on our planet. Schwartz had been simultaneously working on images for 3D and found that she could “see” much more by alternating between 2D and 3D to separate areas that needed more detailed color decisions. In addition, she has been using the 3D glasses to enhance the viewing of colors in her experimental fimls.

The Hidden Mona Lisa
1986/2003

A Computer Detective solves the mystery of the identity of the “Real” Mona Lisa
New picture processing techniques are coupled with morphing algorithms, reflectography, ultrasonic Imaging, holography, digital radiography and traditional x-ray to reveal a “hidden” Mona Lisa. Morphing demonstrates the creative-decision making steps Leonardo made in starting with the Isabella, Duchess of Aragon, the first model, and the changes he made using his own features to finally realize the celebrated face we know today. A mini-documentary reveals the step-by-step of the unraveling of the mystery. (7 1/2 min.)
