Rafael was not alone in pulling his famous painting

Artificial intelligence can be trained to see details that are hidden from the human eye. The artificial intelligence neural network has recently been able to identify abnormal details in the face of one of Rafael Sentcio’s paintings. The artificial intelligence says it did not draw Rafael.

This figure belongs to St. Joseph, on the left side of the painting known as “Madonna Della Rosa”. Researchers have long been discussing whether the painting is the work of famous Italian painter Rafael Sentcio.

Conclusion about the origin of the artwork requires a variety of evidence, but the analytical analysis of the artificial intelligence algorithm has come to the conclusion that at least some of the strokes on the canvas have been painted by another artist. Researchers from the United Kingdom and the United States have developed a custom analysis algorithm based on the works we know are Rafael Sentcio’s work.

Hassan Ogil, a mathematician and computer scientist from Bradford University in the UK, says: “With the deep analysis of the features, we used Rafael’s famous paintings to teach computer to (artificial intelligence) to make his style very accurately diagnose the brush, the palette. According to the researcher, the computer can see much deeper than the human eye and to the microscopic level.

In the famous painting of Madona, Rosa, Mary, Child and “St. John” are all shown to Rafael’s hand, but this is not true of St. Joseph. According to the researchers, in previous discussions about the originality of this painting it was thought that St. Joseph’s face was less quality than other figures in the painting. This painting has been painted on canvas from 1 to 2 years.

It is said that Julio Romano, one of Rafael’s disciples, may be the one who added St. Joseph’s face to the painting. Of course, this is not yet definitive and needs more evidence.
