The article highlights major art exhibitions in 2026, including shows on Cezanne's later works in Basel, Edmonia Lewis's sculptures across the US, a comprehensive Raphael survey at the Met, Duchamp's revolutionary pieces at MoMA, and a focus on Iranian modern art pre-revolution at Vancouver Art Gallery, showcasing a diverse range of historical and contemporary art.
A new exhibition brings together the works of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael, showcasing their masterpieces in one city. This event offers a unique opportunity to explore the artistic contributions of these three Renaissance giants in a single venue.
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.
A player of Baldur's Gate 3 discovered a musical Easter egg in the boss theme for Raphael, where the melody uses a tritone, historically known as "the Devil's Interval," fitting for the devilish character. The game's composer, Borislav Slavov, was praised for this detail, although the game's soundtrack did not win an award at the Game Awards, where the game itself won Game of the Year.
A Baldur's Gate 3 player discovered a method to acquire the powerful Helldusk Armor early in the game by incapacitating the character Raphael in the player's camp. This exploit allows players to gain a significant advantage, especially during Honor Mode runs, by obtaining an item with high armor class, fire resistance, and heavy armor proficiency without penalties. The strategy was shared on Reddit, but there's speculation that this may be an unintended exploit that could be patched out in future updates.
An AI algorithm has identified that a face in Raphael's painting "Madonna della Rosa" was likely not painted by Raphael himself. Researchers used a custom analysis algorithm trained on authenticated Raphael works to analyze the painting. The AI, which has a 98 percent accuracy rate, suggested that St Joseph's face was painted by someone else, possibly Raphael's pupil Giulio Romano. This finding supports long-standing art critic suspicions and demonstrates how AI can assist but not replace art experts in authenticating artwork. The study was published in Heritage Science.
The boss fight against Raphael in Baldur's Gate 3 is tough but fun. To defeat him, focus on taking out his allies and the Pillars of Souls in the room. Use melee attacks, magic spells, and abilities like Black Hole and Divine Intervention. Once the pillars are destroyed, concentrate on attacking Raphael with a combination of melee and ranged attacks. Keep healing spells in reserve and chip away at his HP until he is defeated.
To beat Raphael in Baldur's Gate 3, players should focus on destroying the four columns in the corners of the room at the beginning of the fight to weaken him. Using characters like mages or monks is recommended, as some of Raphael's minions disarm the team. Summoning minions can help spread enemy damage and buy time to destroy the columns. Health regeneration and defense boosting are advised, and spreading the group around the room can mitigate Raphael's AOE attacks. The Hold Monster spell can paralyze Raphael, and attacks within 3 meters deal critical damage. Winning the battle rewards players with the Helldusk Armor.
