During his life Van Gogh left many unfinished sketches of landscapes. Our initial task was to paint these sketches with the intention of creating paintings never made with a style as faithful as possible to that of Van Gogh. His famous style belongs to the movement of Post-Impressionism, with strong and decisive colors and brushstrokes. However during his life he approached different movements, including Impressionism. For this reason our initial task was more complicated, because it was not easy to find an appropriate dataset that could train the GAN in a correct way. So, finally, we have decided to relax the task and paint the sketches of a whole artistic current, not only one artist. In this way we have included artworks by more than 20 impressionists to enlarge the dataset.
