That wouldnt’ be surprising to find that some of the works of the Masters were created through some sort of assembly line in order to pump out paintings for the maximum dollar.

Also, lesser artists would have been apprentices and they probably helped out where they could.

“That wouldnt’ be surprising to find that some of the works of the Masters were created through some sort of assembly line in order to pump out paintings for the maximum dollar.”

Agree, plenty of paintings are attributed to e.g., Rembrandt or his school.

Yes, it was customary for assistants to do the less difficult parts of the painting, such as background figures. The artist did the most important parts, such as the hands, the hair, and the faces.

Can’t an painter’s brushwork change over the course of time, or due to illness or partial disability?

“St Joseph’s face has been thought to be less well done than the others in the frame...”

Joseph didn’t get much write-up in the Bible either. Seems intentional - in both the Bible and the painting. For good reason. No slight against Joseph, but he wasn’t a main figure in the story.

I’ve got to get that AI to check out my favorite painting. The seller told me that it was painted by Renoir, but I’m not so sure.

It was Billy Bob Renoir. He used to live in Phenix City, Alabama.

It’s odd that this is considered ‘news’...

Rubbish in, rubbish out!

Don’t believe a word of their tripe.

Have no fears my friend. That’s definitely a Renoir.
