A Swiss company, Art Recognition, claims to have authenticated a version of Rubens's painting The Bath of Diana using AI, originally thought to be a copy. CEO Carina Popovici presented findings at the Art Business Conference, indicating the piece is a genuine version, partially attributable to Rubens. The AI system, trained on authentic artworks and imitations, analyzes details to determine authenticity. After examining 29 different patches of the painting, the AI identified ten as clearly authentic. This showcases the potential of AI in art verification.
"We concluded that it is partially by Rubens. Our AI cannot know who did the rest but one possible interpretation would be the [artist's] workshop contribution."
"In addition to the accepted autograph works we also fed into the AI images of copies, imitations, works by admirers etc. From all these training images, the AI learned Rubens's unique style but also to distinguish authentic works from good imitations."
