TL;DR Summary

An AI neural network has identified that the face of St Joseph in Raphael's painting, Madonna della Rosa, may not have been painted by Raphael himself. Using deep feature analysis, researchers trained the AI to recognize Raphael's style and found that St Joseph's face differs from the rest of the painting. This discovery suggests that another artist, possibly Raphael's pupil Giulio Romano, may have contributed to the artwork. While the AI's accuracy in identifying Raphael paintings is high, the research team emphasizes that it should be used as a tool to assist art experts rather than replace them.
