at Dundee used copies of two death masks of the Prince, which were made after his death as a way of preserving his likeness. The masks are kept at Highlife Highland’s Inverness Museum and Art Gallery, and The Hunterian, University of Glasgow. The researchers took hundreds of photographs of the masks and used photogrammetry software to create a. They then used another software to “de-age” the Prince and remove the effects of his stroke, which he suffered before he died.
Barbora Veselá, a Masters's student who initiated the project, said that she was interested in doing something different with historical figures. “I wanted to create an image of what he would have looked like during the Jacobite rising. There are many accounts of him but having a face to look at helps us to view him as a human and not just a name from history,” she said.
