Item Number: 104333 Title: The Masters' and the Forgers' Secrets : X-ray Authentication of Paintings From Early Netherlandish till modern Author: Marijnissen, Roger Henri Price: Not Available ISBN: 9789061539292 Description: Antwerp: Mercatorfonds, 2009. 31cm., hardcover, 431pp. prof. illus., many in color. English text. This book deals with works of art. X-radiography is one of the most marvellous ways of studying them. X-rays can reveal critically important aspects of an object's condition and the materials used to create it, as well as providing information about the artist's creative process. With the present advent of a new field of expertise, technical art history, X-radiography is back at the centre of scholars' attention. This richly illustrated survey includes over 250 X-rays with notes and commentary, providing scientific information as well as guidance for comparing documents to scholars and collectors.
