Painting Research Notes
The Painting Research Notes
The aim of these Notes is to share my knowledge and to draw attention to some aspects of the paintings that were discovered by technical studies. The focus of these studies of often on the material condition of the paintings.
In the process new light may be shed on the painting materials of the artists, the way they used their materials or how their materials changed over time thus affecting the appearance.
Understanding how appearance is affected by aging and/or conservation treatments is very relevant to the art historical reading of the works of art.
Topics listed here appear on separate subpages:
Vermeer's The Art of Painting reexamined in 2009 at KHM.
Under construction:
Studies of the aging of the Mark Rothko Seagram series in Tate Modern London.
Palmierite formation on Jordaens's The Ferry Boat at SMK Copenhagen
