According to an AI, El Greco would actually be the sole author of the 'Baptism of Christ' in Toledo, long considered a workshop work

Selon une IA, Greco serait en réalité l’unique auteur du « Baptême du Christ » de Tolède, longtemps considéré comme une œuvre d’atelier

A new study published in Science Advances uses an AI tool called Patch to analyze the monumental painting "Le Baptême du Christ" (1608–1614) by El Greco, long believed to be a workshop piece completed by his son Jorge Manuel Theotocópuli. By mapping the 3D microtopography of the brushstrokes and comparing them with El Greco's authenticated "Christ on the Cross" at the Cleveland Museum of Art, the AI found consistent painterly gestures across the entire work, suggesting the master himself painted it despite tremors from neurological disorders in his old age.

An online exhibition titled "The Art of Parkinson's," sponsored by medical technology company Abbott, launched on April 1, 2026, showcasing paintings by eight artists with Parkinson's who have undergone Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) treatment. Featured artists include Margie Burns-Kohn from Florida, Clive Couperthwaite from Australia, Ann Harwell from North Carolina, and Roger Saunders from Queensland, all of whom describe how DBS alleviated tremors and restored their ability to create art, with many experiencing a surge in creativity post-treatment.
