Gold ground and coloured glass

A thousand years that were happy to skip realism entirely: figures float on gold, scale follows importance rather than distance, and light comes through the picture instead of falling on it. Stained glass, mosaic and manuscript illumination were all designed to glow in a dark room — which is exactly what a screensaver does.

Every piece in this collection is generated by AI in the style of a historical movement, then animated. They are original homages — not scans, photographs or reproductions of existing artworks.
