Abstract

A painting consists of objects which are arranged in specific ways. The art of painting is drawing the objects, which can be considered as known trends, in an expressive manner. Detrended methods are suitable for characterizing the artistic works of the painter by eliminating trends. It means that the study of paintings, regardless of its apparent purpose, as a stochastic process. Multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis is applied to characterize the statistical properties of Mona Lisa, as an instance, to exhibit the fractality of the painting. The results show that Mona Lisa is a long-range correlated and almost behaves similar in various scales.
