Research and Project Assistance

Art Scientific Advise and Research can be requested from JAAP-Enterprise.com to perform paintings research and advanced analysis of paint cross sections. We assist in brainstorming and proposal writing and can review your research programs or laboratory set-up.

Since 2007 we have performed advanced analytical paint studies for Tate Modern London (Mark Rothko), Statens Museum for Kunst Copenhagen (Jordaens), Mauritshuis The Hague (Rembrandt), Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna (Vermeer), Rijksmuseum Amsterdam (Vermeer), Munch museum Oslo (Munch), Swiss Institute for Art Research Zurich (Amiet).
