The past two decades have seen rapid developments in technologies for conducting technical art research. These non-invasive tools that acquire data which cannot be acquired by visual inspection alone and seek for answers to questions of authenticity, authentication, dating and art history, can also be highly relevant to art conservation and restoration. This talk will take you through a couple of these techniques based on a number of case studies such as the two masterpieces ‘The Last Supper’ and ‘The Martyrdom of Saint Erasmus’ by the Flemish Primitive artist Dieric Bouts.
