This paper explores the relationship between historical artistic production and contemporary AI-based image generation through the case study of an Art Nouveau lamppost at the Centrale Montemartini in Rome. A photogrammetric survey is used to document the artwork, which is then analyzed and translated into textual prompts for various AI image generation systems. The results highlight both the potential and the limitations of current generative AI, particularly in reproducing complex spatial, symbolic, and anatomical features, emphasizing the gap between human artistic intention and algorithmic output.
