# OpenBrush Renaissance

Renaissance works from OpenBrush-75K, combining Northern, Early, High, and Mannerism Late Renaissance into one period subset.

> **Curated subset of [jaddai/openbrush-75k](https://huggingface.co/datasets/jaddai/openbrush-75k).** Same MIT license, same caption schema, same VLM (Qwen3-VL-30B-A3B). This subset exists so you don't have to download 75,313 images to get to the 6,565 you actually want.

## Why this subset

Combined Renaissance period subset spanning ~1300–1600. Heavy on religious painting, portraits, and mythological scenes. Useful for old-master aesthetic training without the broader 'Realism' bucket dilution.

**Filter equivalent on parent:** `style in {"Northern Renaissance", "Early Renaissance", "High Renaissance", "Mannerism Late Renaissance"}`

## Statistics

- **Total images:** 6,565
- **Source:** OpenBrush-75K v1.1 (filtered)
- **License:** MIT
- **Caption schema:** v2 structured (TAGS / SUBJECT / ACTION / SETTING / MOOD / STYLE / LIGHTING / COLOR / COMPOSITION)

### Composition

- **Northern Renaissance**: 2,552
- **Early Renaissance**: 1,391
- **High Renaissance**: 1,343
- **Mannerism Late Renaissance**: 1,279

## Caption schema

Same as the parent. Each row has `caption_full` plus 9 individual fields:

```
**TAGS:** comma-separated standardized descriptive tags
**SUBJECT:** Description of the main subject
**ACTION:** Movement, gesture, what is happening
**SETTING:** Environment and context
**MOOD:** Emotional tone and atmosphere
**STYLE:** Artistic technique and stylistic analysis
**LIGHTING:** Direction, quality, temperature
**COLOR:** Palette and color relationships
**COMPOSITION:** Framing, balance, focal points
```

## Schema

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `id` | string | Unique identifier |
| `image` | Image | The artwork (PNG bytes) |
| `width` | int | Image width in pixels |
| `height` | int | Image height in pixels |
| `artist` | string | Artist name |
| `style` | string | Art movement/style |
| `genre` | string | Genre |
| `tags` | list[string] | Standardized descriptive tags |
| `subject`, `action`, `setting`, `mood`, `style_description`, `lighting`, `color`, `composition` | string | Per-aspect caption fields |
| `caption_full` | string | Full structured caption |
| `source_file` | string | Original filename |

## Loading

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("jaddai/openbrush-renaissance")
print(len(dataset["train"])) # 6,565

example = dataset["train"][0]
print(example["caption_full"])
```

## Relationship to the parent dataset

This is a filtered slice of [jaddai/openbrush-75k](https://huggingface.co/datasets/jaddai/openbrush-75k) v1.1. All images, captions, and metadata are identical to those in the parent — no recaptioning or modification.

If you want the **complete** OpenBrush corpus (75,313 paintings), use the parent. If you want **just this slice**, use this subset to save bandwidth and disk.
