A computer-generated portrait created in the style of 17th century Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn was unveiled this week, with its makers saying that they based the new piece on extensive digital analysis of the artist's known body of work.

Organizers said the new "painting" -- which depicts a bearded man in slight profile and wearing period attire -- was created using a 3-D printer to mimic the uneven surface of an actual painting. The original work was formally unveiled at a press event earlier this week in Amsterdam.
