An article in Wired Magazine analyzes the ‘art genome’ of my picture, Adelyn, Ash Wednesday:

Using Ash Wednesday as a starting point, the software then presents other, genetically similar works. Since Soth’s image carries a strong gene for “contemporary photographic portraiture,” Art.sy suggests pieces by Sally Mann and Bill Jacobson, two American photographers also known for their melancholic portraits. Art.sy also spots a strong “documentation of social life” gene for Ash Wednesday, and so it returns a few results for another American photographer, Brian Ulrich, known for his work on consumer culture, and for Jean Pigozzi, an Italian millionaire who has found great acclaim photographing his friends.

Adelyn, Ash Wednesday also carries the “contemporary” and “realism” genes, which help to suggest some more works. Finally, since all of the artworks have been analyzed by computer vision software as well as a team of human experts, Art.sy is able to recommend other art—not just photography but work in any medium—that employs a similar color palette. One of these turns out to be a painting of a Parisian scene done in 1900 by American artist Everett Shinn.
