Generative AI in Art

Another Sunday morning, another item of my series exploring generative AI for art. As you may already know, I took the beautiful sunset image that ChatGPT had created for me and requested a visualization in various styles to see and compare the results.

So far, I’ve done it for several styles, ranging from pointilism, cubism, and pop art, to comic style, surrealism, neo-expressionism, and more. I like them. Some more, some less, but they are all impressive in a way.

This time I asked ChatGPT to create a painting assuming the style of Eugène Delacroix, who is widely regarded as a leading figure of the Romantic movement in 19th century French painting. His artistic style is is romantic, expressive, and painterly, driven by emotion, color, and a fascination with drama and the exotic. (Find out more about him on the official page of The Louve in Paris.)

Anyway, here is the simple prompt:

Create an image that looks like an oil painting of the Romantic era by the French artist Eugène Delacroix. Keep the original aspect ratio of 4 (width) to 3 (height).

And this post, dear readers, concludes my series Sunset in AI-Land. I hope you enjoyed seeing the capabilities of AI applied to purely fictional artwork. Remember, the original image file was also created with the help of AI.

P.S.: If you liked the series so far, please tune in next Sunday once more as I will post a bonus for you. 🙂
