Can you tell the difference between these two images? One’s a bona fide reprint of Claud Monet’s “Impression, Sunrise.” The other? A total fake. The reproduction (on the right) is courtesy of researchers at Singapore’s Institute of Materials Research and Engineering. Their goal, of course, was not to simply make a Monet replica, but rather to test an emerging method of printing that could potentially be used in the future to enable high-res displays and print foolproof anti-counterfeiting materials.
