The goal of this thesis is to develop self-supervised learning approaches to artwork analysis. Precisely, we focus on two particular tasks: object discovery and fine alignment in a collection of artworks. Both tasks are extremely challenging in computer vision, the main difficulties include: i) no annotations are available for both tasks; ii) there are differences in the artistic media (oil, pastel, drawing, etc), and imperfections inherent in the copying process.Object discovery aims at identifying repeated visual patterns across a collection of artworks. This is an important application for art historians, as visual links built via the repeated details may indicate authorship and provenance. Apart from artwork analysis, the task is also i...
