A deep learning perspective on Rubens' attribution

摘要

This study explores the use of deep learning for the authentication and attribution of paintings, focusing on the complex case of Peter Paul Rubens and his workshop. A convolutional neural network was trained on a curated dataset of verified and comparative artworks to identify micro-level stylistic features characteristic of the master s hand. The model achieved high classification accuracy and demonstrated the potential of computational analysis to complement traditional art historical expertise, offering new insights into authorship and workshop collaboration.
