We use convolutional neural networks to analyze authorship questions surrounding works of representational art. Trained on the works of an artist under study and visually comparable works of other artists, our system can identify forgeries and provide attributions. Our system can also assign classification probabilities within a painting, revealing mixed authorship and identifying regions painted by different hands.
