Our tool is able to evaluate the authenticity of an artwork by analyzing its photographic reproduction. The system is based on cutting-edge AI technologies. It is fast, reliable, non-invasive, and unbiased. It can be applied to many artworks at a time. By offering this program to the art world, we want to contribute to the integrity and transparency of the art market.
Fast and unbiased analysis of whether an artwork is genuine or not based on the latest methods of artificial intelligence. Whether as an aid to art experts or as the first quick check for collectors, art dealers, auction houses, museums or insurance companies – it does not require sending the original to distant countries, and the answer is available in minutes instead of weeks.
The algorithm has learned the characteristic features of the artist from a set of photographic reproductions of original paintings by that artist. Based on a photo of a painting in question, the tool checks whether the learned characteristics match those of the new artwork. We provide the results in the form of a report which summarizes the most important steps of the analysis.
