In each episode, we ask the question of whether a certain painting is by a certain famous artist. These are puzzle paintings, works that have divided and confounded scholars, sometimes for centuries. To answer this question, we bring in a guest expert, a specialist in the artist in question. And we also bring in an expert in AI authentication from Art Recognition. While our guest expert is the star of the show, we’ve also conducted a cutting edge, brand new AI analysis of the painting in question—and we’ll reveal what it says in the final part of this episode. The podcast is hosted by award-winning presenter and best-selling art historian, Professor Noah Charney. We cover suspected works by Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Van Eyck and many more. So subscribe and listen for free wherever you get podcasts to find out: Is it? This series is sponsored by Art Recognition, a Zurich-based AI art analysis firm that tests the works featured in each episode. It is produced by Urska Charney.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-08T20:20:34.675265+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/is-it-the-art-mystery-podcast-7505217"},"episode":{"title":"Is It a Van Eyck? with Till-Holger Borchert","slug":"is-it-a-van-eyck-with-till-holger-borchert","published_at":"2025-12-31T06:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/is-it-the-art-mystery-podcast-7505217/is-it-a-van-eyck-with-till-holger-borchert","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/is-it-the-art-mystery-podcast-7505217","url":"https://is-it-the-art-mystery-podcast.simplecast.com/episodes/is-it-a-van-eyck-etf2lGr3","audio_url":"https://cdn.simplecast.com/audio/a17eb4b4-f4ee-4603-948b-8b76b9290a7f/episodes/2fa07dc1-65a8-4140-a716-b49fd958ce5a/audio/d19cd873-2339-4f65-92f7-39aabdf79522/default_tc.mp3?aid=rss_feed&feed=WVp91Ydq","summary":"This episode of Is It? the art mystery podcasts looks at a small painting at the Philadelphia Museum of Art which is largely attributed to Jan van Eyck: \"Saint Francis Receiving the Stigmata.\" But is it actually by van Eyck?
