A mathematical method has been developed that distinguishes between the paintings of Pieter Bruegel the Elder and those of his imitators. But can the approach be used to spot imitations of works by any artist? What makes the style of an artist unique? For paintings or drawings, what comes to mind are specific brush or pen strokes, the manner in which objects are shaded, or how characters or landscapes are portrayed.
