Artace

Artace helps you research Chinese paintings and organize the evidence behind each question. CAPTURE THE DETAILS Start with a photo. Keep views of the whole painting, inscriptions, seals, brushwork, mounting and condition together. Add artist and period claims, materials, dimensions, provenance and questions when available. A photography guide helps you collect useful views. EVALUATE WITH SOURCES When signed in with evaluation access, select up to four photos and review the painting details before sending them to Artace and OpenAI. Receive preliminary observations and comparisons with relevant records from Artace's private reference library. Reports distinguish similarities, differences, missing evidence and unresolved questions. The private originals are not distributed to customers. FOLLOW PUBLIC RESEARCH Source-linked public research can provide additional context when available. Open the cited pages to assess the evidence yourself. General AI knowledge remains tentative background. A public source or visual resemblance does not prove that it describes your physical painting. UNDERSTAND HISTORICAL PRICES Where reviewed sale evidence is available, view published sold results with dates, currencies, fee basis and sources. A conditional historical price range requires at least three compatible reviewed sales. When evidence is insufficient, Artace explains the gap instead of inventing a price. These comparisons are not an appraisal, a guaranteed sale price or an authenticity certificate. KEEP A RESEARCH NOTEBOOK Save photos, observations, corrected inscription transcriptions, manual museum comparisons and reports. Reopen your cases and export a PDF or Markdown research record to a destination you choose. The manual National Palace Museum comparison tool can display a selected official image beside your photograph when you choose to load it. YOUR ACCOUNT AND DATA Use the local guest notebook or create a separate Artace account with a username, password and verified email. Each account has its own notebook on this device. Cases do not synchronize between devices. Saving a case alone does not upload it; requesting an evaluation sends the selected photos and disclosed details to the evaluation service. Account registration and sign-in use Clerk. You can delete cases and request account deletion in the app. Device backups and copies you choose to share are handled separately. Artace provides AI-assisted research, not a determination that a painting is real or fake. Identification accuracy has not been established. Photographs cannot replace physical examination, documented provenance or qualified specialist judgment. Reference coverage and public-source availability vary; a report may remain inconclusive or omit a price range.
