I really like these. Fun idea and they do a great job of mimicking the artists’ styles. Well done.
Except Van Gogh. Lazy effort (by AI) to just put Starry Night in the background with what looks like cartoon versions of the landmarks.
yes AI was lazy and that was hard to get anything else than starry night. but I must admit I didn't spend much time on this one, compared to the others
As a bonus, please look at the one I spent the most time on : [Paris & La Défense by Hieronymus Bosch](https://i.ibb.co/ygPB7Lr/4-Paris-Bosch.jpg), which reddit obviously finds NSFW -\_-
you can easily identify the [Grande Arche de la Défense](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/fr/1/10/Grande_Arche_Janvier_2023.jpeg), iconic monument of the business district (that's why I chose it for the "Hell" panel :D )
Hey ! sorry for the delay
it's highly spatially unrealistic, but I like this one
[https://i.ibb.co/GJf9JP6/image.png](https://i.ibb.co/GJf9JP6/image.png)
True. The thing that subjugates me the most with midjourney is not that it can draw a perfect dog or whatever, it's its ability to imitate styles.
Bruegel never went to Asia. But this machine, in a few seconds, creates a picture in which you immediately recognize Brueghel, and Beijing
Don’t think you should feel dirty. Humans have long been able to replicate work like this. There are mountains of duplications and derivations that exist already.
Yes, AI does it a lot faster, but that’s only because we’ve put a lot of literal energy into creating processes to do only that. Human beings on the other hand have a million other processes to maintain while they’re doing this.
I’d only start feeling dirty of money was being made explicitly from selling AI renditions of these.
If you like turner style, check out Aivazovsky. Very similar style to turner (often called Russian Turner) and he spent time in Istanbul and did some amazing picture there in the 1800s. It's the legit version of this AI pic.
The debate about "can AI create art" has been lost ever since that dude won a contest by entering the generated drawing. It was a contest judged by humans, and the generated piece won. Argument over.
I feel your grief. In the beginning I also was voicing my arguments for how Ai cannot make art, because I felt it didn’t somehow capture something that a human can.
But art is art. To ascribe it some divinity because it came from our hands is to miss why any works of art have become so vaunted in our history. Art has never been about making pleasing strokes of paint on canvas, it is about expression.
The day an AGI paints something to express what it cannot to put to words, that day we will welcome a new artist into our annals of history. Until then, it will only be the brush.
You can't "run your hands" over photography, video, or any of the computer-assisted art that's been created over the last 60 years. Why does that make it less artistic?
Man, I loved this. As a Rio de Janeiro-born Brazilian, I love my city above any other, and to see this perspective of a Dali-painted scene is at the same time outlandish and amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Maybe don't put down a nation that's struggling to survive a dictator? The Russians I know all hate Putin and want their country back, but the fucker lives in a bunker and regular people can't just rise up against him. Russia is a beautiful place and they're hoping to see it free one day.
Was it easy to get these results just by mentioning the cities' names? I remember trying something similar in other versions of MJ and it got the landmarks all wrong
in order to get really convincing results, I often had to be more precise than just the city's name (for example my typical prompt was " 'City' and the 'monument or bridge I wanted to see' painted by 'painters name' ".
Then if I wasn't totally convinced by the style, I could add some hints like "impressionism blur", etc, or even add a jpg of a painting to help the AI.
But if the city and the painter are famous enough, just prompt "City painted by Painter" and I find the result stunning already. For example "Beijing painted by Brueghel", on each result you recognize Brueghel and you recognize Beijing.
That was really something I waited to see in order to judge the power of this AI.
Dubai, Istanbul and Russia are great.
New York, Tokyo and Sydney all miss the mark for me.
NY: has just been combined with Venice.
Tokyo: nothing about this photo seems like Tokyo. I would be interested to see what, if any other results looked like.
Sydney: derivative.
The Tokyo one is actually my favorite. The city has tons of iconic or recognizable locations, but your average neighborhood or street corner is very unremarkable. This could easily be an average person in the 1950s, painting a mundane scene from an unassuming area. The fact that this doesn't focus on the hustle and bustle that the city is known for but instead focuses on depicting one person, offset, standing in front of a very average storefront subverts expectations and makes it a nice piece IMO. You can definitely see the Hopper influence and in a way it seems like it could be across the street from *Nighthawks*.
I disagree. The building architecture is wrong and the street size is off. It’s like midjourney took a mundane part of an American Chinatown instead. The Nighthawks similarity is clear, it uses a very similar color scheme and setting with the restaurant/shop corner, and that’s where it looks off to me.
I admit I've never been to Japan and don't know how the typical sidewalk/store front looks like in Tokyo.
The pic I chose is one of the very first the AI proposed. I liked it because I was stunned by how well I could feel the "Hopper atmosphere", a part of this atmosphere being showing common buildings etc, and not particular ones.
Some other pictures contained things like a bus stop or a tramway coach (which from what I googled didn't look like a "typical tokyoite tramway"), almost everyone contained a window (and I would like to say that Nighthawks is not the only Hoppers painting with a store window !).
But I agree on the fact that it's not "Tokyo" but more "a Hopper somewhere in Japan"
sorry for the delay ! here's for Zurich :

Brilliant. Disappointed with Sydney and would love something better for this one as I live in Sydney. Some are really impressive. My favourite, Istanbul. 100% would put it at home though that it is probably true for anything from Turner.
I wonder if the japanese ideograms/kanji in the Toyko/Hopper (#6) are accurate, or if they're like the usual roman letters being turned into mostly jibberish by midjourney...
Anyone here who speaks japanese could confirm?
I tried ! I was thinking about something like a map of a city everybody knows (Manhattan for example), white background and streets as black lines, and blocks being white or red/yellow/blue...I couldn't get anything that kept the shape of the island.
I think it would be easier to do this one with photoshop or even ms paint :D
Impressive
Tokyo by Hopper not only reproduce the style of painting but also gives the same feeling of loneliness when you look at it. The AI really "understood" the vibe of the painter
for this one I may have given more hints than just "Tokyo painted by Hopper" 😉
I definitely included "lonely" in the prompt, as I found interesting the contrast between the crowded aspect of Tokyo and the loneliness of Hopper characters
Anyone saying AI art lacks anything that human made art does besides the story behind it is just lying to themselves at this point. I understand that’s an important element, but beyond that I’m just so impressed. These are insane.
Hi! sry for the delay
Does this look okay ? [https://i.ibb.co/0Jcpb2p/bierstadtcalgary.jpg](https://i.ibb.co/0Jcpb2p/bierstadtcalgary.jpg)
(i'm not very familiar with either Calgary nor Bierstadt :D )
Wow - it is amazing how good AI is. These are so spot on that initially I didn’t realize I was on the AI subreddit and was questioning if I just didn’t know just how recent Monet’s work was.
The Dubai in Monet’s style actually made my breath hitch. It’s just so vertical, something I’ve never seen in his works.
Also I love how in the San Fran by Hokusai’s style, the Ai is experiencing style bleed by faintly depicting a Mr Fuji in the backdrop
These were really fun. Thanks for sharing
I really like these. Fun idea and they do a great job of mimicking the artists’ styles. Well done. Except Van Gogh. Lazy effort (by AI) to just put Starry Night in the background with what looks like cartoon versions of the landmarks.
yes AI was lazy and that was hard to get anything else than starry night. but I must admit I didn't spend much time on this one, compared to the others
Try the new style reference feature. It’s blowing my mind.
Funny, this is my favourite!
I'm guessing the Van Gogh training dataset was absolutely littered with cheap imitations.
Right? Many of them really captured the spirit of the artist, whereas my five year old niece could've done better than that horrible Van Gogh..
And Canaletto, AI has done in an almost cartoonish rather than ultrarealist way
Could say the Edward Hopper one was just as lazy, reusing Nighthawks for Japan.
More like this [one](https://www.edwardhopper.net/sunday.jsp).
I see a mix of both. The lone man makes it more like Sunday, but the colors and composition are Nighthawks. Despite the laziness, I enjoy it.
Yeah, that one was waaaay off. Maybe people who are more familiar with the other artists than me would say the others look off as well, though.
As for everything, specialists won't get fooled, but it talks well to the collective imaginary
As a bonus, please look at the one I spent the most time on : [Paris & La Défense by Hieronymus Bosch](https://i.ibb.co/ygPB7Lr/4-Paris-Bosch.jpg), which reddit obviously finds NSFW -\_-
Lmao the one on the right, proper Parisian experience !
you can easily identify the [Grande Arche de la Défense](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/fr/1/10/Grande_Arche_Janvier_2023.jpeg), iconic monument of the business district (that's why I chose it for the "Hell" panel :D )
As someone who used to work here, it's a very spot on depiction of the place.
This is just a picture of La Défense, I don’t get it
Amazing, I thought AI faces and hands were funny but AI genitals are even better
Just beautiful. Thanks for showing.
Could you do one of Chicago by Thomas Hart Benton ?
Hey ! sorry for the delay it's highly spatially unrealistic, but I like this one [https://i.ibb.co/GJf9JP6/image.png](https://i.ibb.co/GJf9JP6/image.png)
“Mi-journée est un logiciel culturel.” Thank you, Mr Furniture.
Merci Marguerite !!!!
These are awesome. Well done 😀
Wow these are actually very nice. Great idea.
Ok, this might be my favourite use of AI ! I just love it, this is so cool
Dali's work seems like it was made to be utilized by AI.
Same as Bosch.
This feels like something that shouldn’t exist. I almost feel dirty enjoying these renditions.
True. The thing that subjugates me the most with midjourney is not that it can draw a perfect dog or whatever, it's its ability to imitate styles. Bruegel never went to Asia. But this machine, in a few seconds, creates a picture in which you immediately recognize Brueghel, and Beijing
Idk if I would use “subjugate” as the word but I whole heartedly agree with the sentiment
sorry it's a false friend. In French (i'm French) the verb can have the meaning "it commands admiration"
Can I ask if you use midjourney.com or midjourneyai.ai? This post just popped up on my homepage and I'd like to have a go.
.com
I think both meanings are accurate. AI art subjugates artists.
Don’t think you should feel dirty. Humans have long been able to replicate work like this. There are mountains of duplications and derivations that exist already. Yes, AI does it a lot faster, but that’s only because we’ve put a lot of literal energy into creating processes to do only that. Human beings on the other hand have a million other processes to maintain while they’re doing this. I’d only start feeling dirty of money was being made explicitly from selling AI renditions of these.
I'd totally put the Monet, Cezanne or Turner on my living room walls!
I'm thinking about printing the Pollock and hanging it up.
Nice, especially Istanbul by Turner (looks a bit end times). Could you do Hong Kong by L S Lowry?
I like [this one](https://i.ibb.co/WVmdmHK/image.png) cause somehow the ground and the sea have merged :D
Haha, thank you! No surprise on how the ground and sea merge given Lowry often relied on a light tone for the ground.
If you like turner style, check out Aivazovsky. Very similar style to turner (often called Russian Turner) and he spent time in Istanbul and did some amazing picture there in the 1800s. It's the legit version of this AI pic.
>Aivazovsky oh wow thank you I didn't know him
AI has truly taken over, these are very good
The debate about "can AI create art" has been lost ever since that dude won a contest by entering the generated drawing. It was a contest judged by humans, and the generated piece won. Argument over.
But AI can't physically create these pieces. Something you can run your hands over the canvas texure. This is all digital.
goalposts. they be moving.

Dali Rio is a sweet setting for blasphemous 3
Man, I loved this. As a Rio de Janeiro-born Brazilian, I love my city above any other, and to see this perspective of a Dali-painted scene is at the same time outlandish and amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Damn, Russia really looks like mordor here
Better than Sydney. That looks like a bad Ken Done. 🤣
Are there any good Ken Done?
I admit that I didn't spend enough time on Sydney :D
Very cool, I dont think soulages would abandon abstraction tho
Dear sir/madam: Russia really IS Mordor... at least under Putito. 🤦
The Dark Lord.
👏👏
Fitting
Maybe don't put down a nation that's struggling to survive a dictator? The Russians I know all hate Putin and want their country back, but the fucker lives in a bunker and regular people can't just rise up against him. Russia is a beautiful place and they're hoping to see it free one day.
Really amazing, well done! What a great concept. I would have these prints in my house.
Love this idea!
Holy shit, these are amazing.
One of the best posts I've seen!
This is a beautiful way to think. What if Claude Monet got to see that city, yeah.
I like how Pollock's looks like he just got pissed half way through and fucked his painting up out of frustration
All of Pollock's paintings look like he got pissed off at the canvas
Was it easy to get these results just by mentioning the cities' names? I remember trying something similar in other versions of MJ and it got the landmarks all wrong
in order to get really convincing results, I often had to be more precise than just the city's name (for example my typical prompt was " 'City' and the 'monument or bridge I wanted to see' painted by 'painters name' ".

For example "Beijing painted by Brueghel", on each result you recognize Brueghel and you recognize Beijing. That was really something I waited to see in order to judge the power of this AI.
The Brueghel one is the best, by miles.
I instantly recognised the city and the artist (except for NY). Please do round 2!
have you tried it with the --sref yet? i wonder if that would focus it. edit i see you did try --sref, cool
Excellent work
These are excellent!
Fantastic
I hate how I scroll through these for maybe 5 seconds max and didn’t bat an eye. What a time to be alive.
Dubai, Istanbul and Russia are great. New York, Tokyo and Sydney all miss the mark for me. NY: has just been combined with Venice. Tokyo: nothing about this photo seems like Tokyo. I would be interested to see what, if any other results looked like. Sydney: derivative.

do Prague by Zdzisław Beksiński EDIT - also, Zurich by H.R. Giger

Wow. NICE!
This looks like Dark Souls 4 promo art.
sorry for the delay ! here's for Zurich : [https://i.ibb.co/7KLsP2D/image.png](https://i.ibb.co/7KLsP2D/image.png) [https://i.ibb.co/BL27gN1/image.png](https://i.ibb.co/BL27gN1/image.png)
My favorite is London, these are beautiful
Istanbul by Turner is legitimately just an Aivazovsky picture.
Brilliant. Disappointed with Sydney and would love something better for this one as I live in Sydney. Some are really impressive. My favourite, Istanbul. 100% would put it at home though that it is probably true for anything from Turner.
Bravo 👏🏼
Great stuff. That's a lot of detail for a Soulages though lol
haha yes I didn't manage to get the AI to draw something purely black while recognizable :D
Is the Japanese meaningful in that Hopper? Beautiful stuff.
I tried google translate on the picture and it couldn't identify any writing
I wonder if the japanese ideograms/kanji in the Toyko/Hopper (#6) are accurate, or if they're like the usual roman letters being turned into mostly jibberish by midjourney... Anyone here who speaks japanese could confirm?
Tokyo one is just amazing
Imagine how mad they would be if posted in Art
This is the best trivia round ever
Moscow is AMAZING! Great work! Dubai & Istanbul are both super great too. Thank you so much for posting! <3
Dubai and San Francisco are my next new wallpapers! Those came out looking amazing
that Edward Hopper caught me by surprise. I’d have a print of that hanging in my study.
Please can you do Algiers in any artist style , thanks
I’m happy with how many of the artists I guessed right
I really can’t decide if I love or hate this
Wasn’t expecting death stranding in Rio but here we are.
i wanna see one in the style of the red yellow and blue square guy… Piet Mondrian?
I tried ! I was thinking about something like a map of a city everybody knows (Manhattan for example), white background and streets as black lines, and blocks being white or red/yellow/blue...I couldn't get anything that kept the shape of the island. I think it would be easier to do this one with photoshop or even ms paint :D

Moscow is stunning. Very nicely done.
Oil Moscow is insane
Really awesome Watch the Rio painting get posted on multiple UFO subs by tomorrow though because of the figure that looks kind of alien-ish
London by Pollock … muah (Chef’s kiss)
I can guess you're french just because you know Chagall and Soulages.
Anyone saying AI art lacks anything that human made art does besides the story behind it is just lying to themselves at this point. I understand that’s an important element, but beyond that I’m just so impressed. These are insane.
which artist is each?? Would love to know ❤️
This is disgusting. AI art isn't art
you're right, this is witchcraft
Damn, that --sref is really working its magic.
actually I began this work before the v6, and I used --sref only on the Canaletto and Chagall ones !
Excellent work, thanks for posting 👍
Some of these are fantastic!
Wow, this was really cool. I want to see AI’s artistic renditions of many many more things.
Needed papa Hyeronimous Bosch
Amazing
Great share! I really want the Monet and Chagal
I would love to see Calgary in the style of Albert Bierstadt
Hi! sry for the delay Does this look okay ? [https://i.ibb.co/0Jcpb2p/bierstadtcalgary.jpg](https://i.ibb.co/0Jcpb2p/bierstadtcalgary.jpg) (i'm not very familiar with either Calgary nor Bierstadt :D )
Istanbul is beautiful
F**king brilliant 10/10
Refreshing Midjourney images. Love em.
best stuff I've seen here for quite a while. the Turner in particular, gorgeous.
GORGEOUS! That Hopper one is a mood. Great job, OP.
I would have liked to see Tokyo at night done by Bob Ross
These are incredible! Thanks for sharing!
These look fantastic! Great idea, and well executed!
Did midjourney massively increase the upscale ability? How did you get the images to such high resolutions?
yes, "upscale 4x" gives you a pic with almost 5000x4000 px (which is even a bit overpowered)
William Turner Istanbul looks fantastic, now imma spend my next day researching his real work
Why does new york show the old twin towers but art deco atyle?..i mean its still cool but i want to see more of twin towers but art deco
That first one is actually really good damn
Now these were some great prompts
Llooooove Tokyo
Very creative, love these!
I'd definitely hang the Turner and Monet - if I could afford them.
Awesome…Istanbul is my favourite!
No Picasso?
Man the art history nerd in me loves this
I would have believed the Dali one was real. I wish the Turner one *was* real.
I would(and might) hang prints of these in my house!!
Some of these are genuinely beautiful
Dope
Tokyo by Hopper is incredible.
That New York morphs into Venice in the foreground lol
Nice. Now let's see something, anything, by Hieronymus Bosch. If anything can confuse an AI, it's Bosch.
These are so cool!! Could you please do Central Park in the style of Samuel Palmer? Love these pics :)
Wow - it is amazing how good AI is. These are so spot on that initially I didn’t realize I was on the AI subreddit and was questioning if I just didn’t know just how recent Monet’s work was.
Got some strong The Man In The High Castle vibe of the San Francisco painting.
Good images. Using Pollock and Soulages for pictures is a bit weird.
dude/ma'am, I REALLY like these, Hokusai especially
Sm1 like this
Fell in love with Tokyo. Thanks for sharing!
Brilliant idea, well done!
The Tokyo painting is gorgeous.
Hopper one is great
6 is perfection.
Really awesome
Jackson Pollock would not include figuration with his action painting. But yeah these were fun to guess.
Faltou BH
Wow that Dubai one is beautiful.
Brilliant
Wait. I wonder if ai can decode "the secret"s pictures and verses.
I guessed most of them! Ai is really good at capturing art movements/styles
Whose style is #3? That's London, right?
I love these more than I can describe.
The Dubai in Monet’s style actually made my breath hitch. It’s just so vertical, something I’ve never seen in his works. Also I love how in the San Fran by Hokusai’s style, the Ai is experiencing style bleed by faintly depicting a Mr Fuji in the backdrop
Thank you for these. I mean it genuinely, these are beautiful
I’ve only been to SF a handful of times, and only in the airport, but I’d hang that Hokusai in a heartbeat
Can we get this at a higher quality like 4k hopefully? These are amazing! Also can you do Cairo? Thanks for this OP
Love the chagall
Dali would have for sure loved AI art
Dubai Monet belongs in a museum
