'The Pursuit of Realism' is a digital 3D model of an early 17th century painting, 'Quince, Cabbage, Mellon and Cucumber', by Juan Sanchez Cotan.

The project resulted from an investigation into the methods early painters used to create realism in art and the way in which they were invented.

Through the studying and recreation of this painting, the techniques Cotan used were reveled, including some that had not been believed to exist during his time.
