the state . Since early Tuesday Monte cio has been greatly affected by massive mudslides that have now de strongd homes taken lives and caused incredible scenes At least five people have been confirmed dead while many others have been reported missing . Hundreds of homes have been completely covered by waxes of mud causing the government to evacuate people in the area The National Gallery has always given pride of place to Peter Paul Rubens's Samson and Delilah，listing it among the “highlights”of its collection, since it purchased the picture at Christie's in 1980 for a thenrecord price.Critics(评论家) have long suggested that the painting is not really by Rubens. And now a series of scientific tests employing groundbreaking AI technology have concluded that the 17th-century Flemish painter could never have painted it.“The results are quite astonishing," Dr. Carina Popovice ，he scientist who carried out the study, told theObserver.“The algorithm(算法) has returned a 91%probability for the artwork not being authentic.”The AItechnology analyses different features of an artist's work，including brushstroke (笔刷) patterns. Popovici saidthat everything that's not by the hand of the assumedartist will come out with a negative probability and thatthe technology can produce accurate results even foartists who greatly changed their style across theircareers as every artist has a unique brushstroke.The AI analysis was carried out by Art Recognition，a Swiss company based near Zurich of which Popovici isco-founder. It has analyzed 400 works with thistechnology，and has an ongoing collaboration with TilburgUniversity in Holland.Critics have long argued that it is only a copy of a Rubens original that is known to have been painted between 1608 and 1609 for his Antwerp sponsor Nicolaas Rockox which then vanished after his death in 1640.Then it was not until in 1929 when it appeared again thatthe painting was collected by the National Gallery.The significance of this new AI method of authentication is potentially groundbreaking. Short of human subjectivity,emotion and commercial interests, the software is coldly objective and scientifically accurate. Many questionable works were given the credit to Rubens at the beginning of the 20th century. There is today a clear need for more reliable methods of judgment.8.
