Artwork analysis has been practiced by experts in the field for centuries with traditional methods. The innovative approach brought by the technology that developed with the industrial revolution also changes the methods used in the work analysis process. The aim of this study is to examine the works of art through 3D software and to evaluate the foreground elements of the work in all its details, including the information about the period in which it was made. The sub-objectives of this study are to get to know the works of famous artists more closely by the society, to strengthen the bond between the audience and the work, and to make the works of art more understandable because they can reach all segments of the society. In line with these purposes, Osman Hamdi Bey's "The Tortoise Trainer" was reconstructed using 3D modeling software and a visual analysis of the obtained data was made. The study was designed according to the qualitative research model. The theory of the research was made according to the historical pattern, and the sources were reached with the literature review technique. With 3D modeling software, different works of art can be evaluated in terms of art criticism and can present original perspectives on the works. In this respect, the study constitutes an important resource for art criticism research to be carried out with 3D modeling software.
