Researchers used machine learning to determine the true artist of the Renaissance painting Madonna della Rosa. While there were lingering doubts, a machine learning model developed by Professor Ugail identified high probabilities that certain parts were painted by Raphael. However, it suggested that Joseph’s head was likely by a different artist, providing valuable insights for art historians.
AI Solves Mystery Behind a Renaissance Painting
For centuries, the authorship of the Renaissance painting Madonna della Rosa has been debated. Using machine learning, researchers have finally solved the mystery.
How AI Analyzed the Painting
University of Bradford Professor Hassan Ugail developed a machine learning model using deep transfer learning applied to the ResNet50 deep neural network. The model was trained on 49 confirmed Raphael paintings, becoming an expert on Raphael’s work, with a 98% accuracy in recognizing authentic pieces.
What the Model Revealed
When applied to the Madonna della Rosa, the model suggested a 60% likelihood that it was the work of Raphael. However, upon specific area analysis, it concluded that the figures of Mary, Jesus, John the Baptist, and the rose were 90% likely painted by Raphael, while Joseph’s head was likely painted by a different artist.
