Now, Van Gogh paintings in 3D for 22k pounds each

The Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam has developed high-quality 3D reproductions of some of the Dutch artist's finest paintings - and a replica could be yours for 22,000 pounds!
The 3D replicas of Vincent Van Gogh's work, including Wheatfield under Thunderclouds, are almost indistinguishable from the originals, claim museum curators.
"It really is the next generation of reproductions because they go into the third dimension. If you're a layman, they are pretty indistinguishable [from the originals]. Of course, if you're a connoisseur and you look more closely, you can see the difference," said Axel Ruger, the museum's director.
Each reproduction is priced at 22,000 pounds and the 3D scanning technique has so far reproduced Almond Blossom (1890), Sunflowers (1889), The Harvest (1888), Wheatfield under Thunderclouds (1890) and Boulevard de Clichy (1887), 'The Guardian' reported.

The replicas, called Relievos, are being created by the museum in partnership with Fujifilm.
The complex technology, known as Reliefography has taken more than seven years to develop and only three replicas a day can be made.

It combines a 3D scan of the painting with a high-resolution print. The "super-accurate" reproduction even extends to the frame and the back of the painting.
Every Relievo is numbered and approved by a museum curator. There is a limited edition of 260 copies per painting.
The series was launched in Hong Kong last month and the museum's curators chose a shopping mall instead of a gallery.

"There was enormous interest there. We had people there who bought on the spot," said Ruger.
"For someone interested in Van Gogh, this is the closest you can get to the original without it being the original. There is a certain fascination about that," he added.
To ensure that no replica is passed off as the real thing, each is clearly marked with an unbreakable seal. The Relievos will also be used for educational purposes, in schools and for the visually impaired.
