Shakespeare 1564-1616

3D images of Shakespeare’s death mask were used to create a life-like representation of the English playwright. Although many scholars dispute the authenticity of the death mask and claim it doesn’t even belong to Shakespeare himself, Dr Caroline Wilkinson from Dundee University claimed the mask was consistent with portraits of the writer. In her argument, she created the first 3D portrayal of the literary genius.
