Did Rubens Paint This? 'AI' Says No (ctd.)

I've been quoted in today's Telegraph speaking out against claims about to be made in an as-yet-to-be-published book regarding the authenticity of The National Gallery's Samson and Delilah by Peter Paul Rubens (here's The Guardian's article on the subject from yesterday's papers). Regular readers may remember this story from back in 2021 when 'AI' had deemed with 91.78% accuracy that it was not by his hand. Intriguingly, the visual comparisons made in The Guardian's article (linked above) compares the NG's painting to works produced either decades apart or on entirely different scales (details which matter, as it happens).
