'ArtMatters - Netherlands Technical Studies in Art'
The 1st volume of the yearbook 'ArtMatters - Netherlands Technical Studies in Art' presents a collection of lavishly illustrated articles by important scholars working in the interdisciplinary field of technical art history.
Drawing on the combined expertise of conservators, scientists and art historians, ArtMatters brings together a wealth of information about artists' materials, techniques and studio practice, from different periods and disciplines.
ArtMatters goes beyond the pure identification of materials. It addresses the connection between the artist's methods and intentions, as well as the relations between changes in style, technical developments and materials available, all set against an art historical context.
ArtMatters provides fascinating accounts of the artist at work. The articles illustrate the significant role the study of techniques and materials can have within art historical research and its various philosophical approaches towards the understanding of art works.
ArtMatters creates illuminating insights into the artist's original intention and its material expression, insights that characterise current conservation research as a whole.
ArtMatters is therefore an invaluable resource for art historians, conservators, collectors, and all those interested in the making of artworks.
