This is a detail of William-Adolphe Bouguereau's 1873 painting, L'Amour et Psyche, enfants. You can see it along with many other three-dimensional anaglyph conversions from two-dimensional works, in the gallery pages of 3D Gugle.

3D Gugle is software for making 3-D images. It costs anywhere from 46 to 3,500 euros, depending on which version and which license you get, but you can download a 20-day trial copy for free. Normally, I would try a piece of software before writing about it, but I have no plans to use 3D Gugle, because it only runs on Windows, and this is a Mac shop.

Since I am not using the program, I have no opinion whether it is easy to use, or whether it is worth the money, or whether it is the best way to generate 3D pictures. I will only tell you that the anaglyphs in the example galleries are very well done, and very much worth clicking over there and looking at.

In honor of the feast day of St. Bonaventure, here is a 3-D anaglyph conversion of the painting by Francisco de Zurbarán.

This painting was perfect for 3D conversion using the depth map method, because the background was mostly solid colors instead of a a million tiny little details to fuss over. Below are the original flat painting and the depth map, which was very simple.
