Have you heard about Hadi Karimi? Karimi is the Iranian computer graphics artist who has been beguiling classical music lovers this summer with his uncannily realistic 3-D recreations of composers long past. These include, so far, Chopin, Schubert, Liszt, and Brahms.

Karimi earlier applied his skills to images of popular singers and movie actors. But for now, he appears to have embraced the challenges of translating vintage photographs, portraits, and death masks of the 19th century to lifelike, digital busts in living color.

Here’s an article from June on his portrait of Chopin.
