Painting by Rembrandt

I read an article about a computer that painted a perfect copy of a Rembrandt painting. I'm a big fan of the artist vs robot topic. I believe that very soon AI will not only be able to copy any artistic styles perfectly, it will also create its own styles that are unimaginable to humans, leaving human originality in question.  However, robots will always have one major limitation compared to the human artist: Robots will never be able to create something beautiful as the result of their suffering.
