ANALYSIS OF THE DIFFERENT WOODEN PARTS OF OIL PAINTINGS: FRAMES, PANELS, STRETCHERS, CRADLING RESTORATIONS.​

ANALYSIS OF THE

WOODEN FRAME 

Spectroscopic dating of the external wooden frame. Since this part can be replaced, it is possible that it was not created with the original object. An analysis of the historic wooden stretcher of a painting on canvas or the wooden panel of a panel painting is therefore more meaningful for determining its age. 

ANALYSIS OF THE WOODEN PANEL 

Spectroscopic dating of the wooden panel.

ANALYSIS OF THE STRETCHER 

Spectroscopic dating of the historic wooden stretcher 

Shining the Wood’s light on the painted surface of the painting. 

By observing the surface under Wood's light, revisions and restorations can be checked and authenticated. 

X-RAY ANALYSIS 

An X-ray analysis of the painting can reveal details about the layers that are not visible to the naked eye. For example, it can reveal paintings that have been painted over, it can highlight damages caused by woodworm drilling in wooden sculptures, and finally it can show how the different components of an art object are assembled. 

CHEMICAL SPECTROSCOPIC ANALYSIS 

My analyses allow me to distinguish between the coniferous samples from broadleaf trees and tropical wood. They can also be used to identify and distinguish objects in ivory from bone, horns or synthetic materials. In addition, they can be used to find copper oxide traces in antique bronze objects.

-Der Spannrahmen ist ursprünglich – mit einem Alter von 115 Jahren.

Austrocknung des Farbbindemittels und die anschließende Verhärtung der Malschicht ist authentisch.

Ebenso die ziemlich dichte, kohärent und auf natürliche Weise entwickelte Craquelure

Fälschungsspuren sowohl auf dem Gemälde als auch auf der Signatur fehlen.

Die Anwesenheit von unter der Farbschicht liegenden Die Präparierungslinien, die unter der Farbschicht liegen, sind typisch für den Maler

Bei den verwendeten Pigmenten gibt es keine Auffälligkeiten

 Die Anwesenheit mehrerer kleiner Überarbeitungen

MACROPHOTOGRAPHY

On request I will send you a DVD with professional pictures of the most important details of the surface of your artifacts. 

CRADLING 

With the dating of the wooden strips used for this process, I can determine when the panel painting was restored.
