Our approach finds visual analogies that mirror larger scale cultural trends, such as the flows of artistic techniques across the globe due to trade routes. Users can take any work from the collection and find analogous works in particular genres, cultures, or media of art. MosAIc finds “visual analogies”, or works of art with the same semantic structure but very different cultural and artistic context, within the combined works of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Rijksmuseum. We introduce MosAIc, an interactive website that allows users to discover hidden connections between works of art across culture, media, artists, and time.
