Our Technology
Our unrivalled AI technology streamlines the art authentication process, meeting your needs in an easy data science-backed way
Verifying art has been a costly, time-consuming, and often subjective process. Traditionally, the art community turns to art experts who require the art object to be physically delivered to them, study the object and then decide on whether a particular piece is likely to be from the assumed artist or not. But what if you could streamline that process and ensure your art verification is quick, easy, and reliable?
Below you will discover the process we use to deliver outstanding results to our customers across the globe.
Collect Comprehensive Training Images
Our inhouse database consists of millions of training images of verified authentic works of art spanning from old masters all the way to contemporary. For each artist we compile a training dataset containing high quality images of all artworks known to be created by that artist, and also collect images of forgeries and artworks produced by his followers.

The AI Learns an Artist’s Unique Features
Once we have carefully assembled the training dataset, we feed it into the AI. From the training images, the AI learns an artist’s unique features such as their brushstroke, object placement, use of colour, and high-level compositional elements.
With this, a basis is formed for authenticating your artwork.
Validate the AI Training
By rigorously measuring the AI’s accuracy in distinguishing original works of art from known forgeries, our clients can be reassured in the validity of our art authentication.

The AI System Authenticates Your Submitted Artwork
Once the AI is suitably trained on the respective artist, it will return a probability for the authenticity of your piece. This gives you an unbiased, data-backed prediction.
Receive Your Report and Certificate
You may choose between receiving just the result of the AI authenticity evaluation, or the result alongside with a detailed AI Authentication Report.
If you wish a detailed Authentication report, we send you a comprehensive report containing information about:
- The AI’s assessment on the authorship
- The artist’s style
- A heat map depicting the main features of your artwork
- Additional visual information such as brushstroke and activation maps
How Art Recognition Technology Has Helped Others
Our AI art authentication technology has helped many clients since we commenced our business in 2019. Since then we have been involved in numerous high-profile art authentication cases and constantly expand our customer portfolio with private and institutional clients.
Highlights:
- We confirmed that the Van Gogh Oslo museum self-portrait was genuine in 2019, after being asked by a leading expert to work on a few disputed Van Gogh artworks.
- We clarified which version of “Nu en Buste” attributed to Kees Van Dongeon was authentic, after years of debate and uncertainty by professional art experts.
- We showed that a painting allegedly by Max Pechstein was in fact a forgery produced by Wolfgang Beltracchi.
Our AI system has also proven itself to be highly efficient and useful in distinguishing popular artworks by some of the most revered artists in the world. We’re confident it can do the same for you.
