Machine learning analyses have determined that Raphael most likely painted The DE BRÉCY TONDO.
The de Brécy Tondo was analyzed by researchers from the universities of Nottingham and Bradford using facial recognition software. Faces in the de Brécy Tondo were compared to those in a Raphael altarpiece and found to be identical. The group concluded that the tondo, whose creator was previously unknown, was most likely painted by the Italian artist.
At an auction of English rural houses in 1981, a Cheshire businessman named George Lester Winward purchased the de Brécy Tondo. Winward began to believe it was the real thing because it resembled Raphael's Sistine Madonna, which is on display at the Gemaldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden, so closely. It was determined over a decade ago by spectroscopic analysis that the painting was indeed of Renaissance origin. The university team determined that the two Madonnas were 97% similar and the two sets of children were 86% similar when they compared the paintings side by side. Similarities of greater than 75% are considered to be identical.
The team's use of an AI facial recognition system was developed by Hassan Ugail, a professor of visual computing at the same institution. This was accomplished by expanding upon Howell Edwards's study of the picture.
Ugail stated, "My co-authors and I have concluded that both paintings used the same models and were painted by the same artist" based on the quality of the study and prior knowledge.
In addition to the startling direct facial comparison match, digital image analysis expert Christopher Brooke, an honorary fellow at the University of Nottingham and coauthor of an upcoming paper about the project, said that "further confirmation comes from analysis of the pigments used in the Tondo, which have shown that the painting's features are considered to be typical of Renaissance practice and therefore highly unlikely to be a later copy."
After reading it, Brooke said, "This is intriguing work that offers a lot of potential for the future study of art."
