Passcode: 732703
Abstract:
Over the last century, there have been extensive developments in the use of scientific instrumentation for the investigation and analysis of art. These scientific and technical studies have led to a better understanding of artists’ methods, the development of the field of Art Conservation, and the characterization of an artist’s oeuvre which has been used for authentication studies and repatriation arguments. Modern advancements in technology and computational analysis have led to the further development of analytical imaging. Several examples will be presented demonstrating the value of analytical imaging for the in-depth scientific study of art, both for artistic interpretation and for the development of conservation research and treatment.
