Automatic artwork analysis techniques are used in numerous image-based applications such as virtual restoration, image retrieval, studies on artistic praxis, authentication etc. This paper first presents a comprehensive survey on 2D artworks analysis for the past ten years. Following a content-based taxonomy, we organize and discuss the literature from low-level features to several high-level layers of concepts. We finally open the discussion with several issues, from cognitive processes implied in the creative process that induce some visual cues, to expressive rendering which is a related research fields that shares the same concerns as artwork analysis.
