The Annunciation in Art: Revealing the Irreplaceability of Art in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Abstract
Artificial Intelligence painting suddenly became popular at the beginning of the year, and many different artificial intelligence painting websites appeared on the Internet. Just like when photography emerged in the nineteenth century, it aroused the concern of the painting industry whether human painting would be replaced. This paper will mainly explain 7 paintings from painters like Fra Angelico and Jan Van Eyck with the same theme, the Annunciation, in different time periods, so as to analyze the uniqueness and irreplaceability of human painting. At the same time, this paper also points out a direction for the future development of artificial intelligence painting, that is, with its high efficiency and high technology to assist human painting, as a tool to refine painting, leading painting into a new era.
