Caravaggio's 'Lautenspielerin' Discovered With 85.7% Probability

Art experts have made a significant discovery. An AI analysis conducted by Philippe Costamagna has attributed a painting of a lute player, known as the 'Lautenspielerin', to Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio with an 85.7% probability. This revelation comes after an AI-based analysis.

The lute player painting is one of Caravaggio's early works. Three versions of this piece exist today, housed in the Hermitage, the Metropolitan Museum, and Badminton House in Gloucestershire. This discovery adds to the approximately 60 known authentic works by the renowned artist.

The high probability of authenticity, above 80%, is considered very significant in the art world. Karina Popovich, head of Art Recognition, confirms this. In 2019, another Caravaggio artwork was discovered and valued at around £96 million, highlighting the significance of such findings.

The 'Lautenspielerin' painting, with its high probability of being a genuine Caravaggio, joins the ranks of the artist's known works. This discovery not only enriches our understanding of Caravaggio's early career but also underscores the potential of AI in art authentication.
