Experts found the faces in the de Brécy Tondo were identical to those in a Raphael altarpiece
The team found the de Brécy Tondo was highly likely to have been created by RaphaelNew facial recognition technology has found a painting previously attributed to an unknown artist is highly likely to be a Raphael masterpiece.
The similarity between the Madonnas in the two paintings was found to be 97%, while comparison of the child in both works produced an 86% similarity.Dr Christopher Brooke, honorary research fellow at the University of Nottingham, is an expert in digital image analysis and co-authored a research paper about the find.
Prof Ugail said: "Looking at the faces with the human eye shows an obvious similarity, but the computer can see far more deeply than we can, in thousands of dimensions, to pixel-level. Mr Winward bought the Tondo in 1981 as part of a collection of art spanning from the 16th to the 19th Century.
