2. Methods for analyzing works of art
"Science" and "art" have long been intertwined, as man has always been on the lookout for new materials or techniques to improve and perfect his artistic work. To keep pace with successive artistic and scientific developments, and thus to conserve and restore works of art, understand manufacturing techniques or simply verify their authenticity, numerous scientific analysis techniques have been adapted and even developed to enable the most advanced analysis of materials from our cultural heritage.
2.1 Reminder of standard methods
There are many books on the usual methods of investigating works of art. In this article, we have chosen to present them with a focus on the purpose of the study carried out by the scientists.
