“By using artificial intelligence, the designers have derived inspiration from individual works and the style of the ‘Dutch Masters’. An algorithm has analyzed fifty paintings by Vermeer, Rembrandt and Van Gogh and extracted small digital pieces from the paintings to arrive at a new masterpiece. The most beautiful pieces with a good contrast are then used in the design and ensure that people recognize several works by the Dutch masters in riders such as Primoz Roglic, Wout van Aert and Marianne Vos,” the cycling team writes as an explanation of the shirt.
