At the end of World War II the Nazis burned an Austrian castle full of masterpieces, including 3 paintings by Gustav Klimt entitled Philosophy, Medicine, and Jurisprudence. Until now, they were preserved for posterity only in black & white photographs.

Reconstructed in colour, they are now on display in an online gallery of 130 paintings, plus a virtual exhibition of 63 of the artist’s works, all brought together by Google Arts & Culture.

Klimt is one of my favourite artists, yet I never knew this story. The digital reconstruction of his lost paintings is a great reminder, in this time of social media misinformation, of how computers can enhance our lives.
