Friso Lammertse is curator of Old Paintings at the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen.

Anthony van Dyck's two versions of St. Jerome with an angel', (Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen) 2009

Röntgen photography
On the monitor Lena Dahlén shows a röntgen photo. Röntgen technology gives the art historian insight in the drawings or paintings under the painting surface. This is how art historians can see the changes artists made during the painting process.

Magnifying glasses
Friso Lammertse is wearing special glasses, that functions as a magnifier.
-
Tracings
A tracing can superimpose two images digitally. The technique of tracings is applied to compare the compositions of paintings. 17th- century painters used all kinds of techniques to literally copy a composition onto a new canvas, resulting into two completely similar compositions. In the video you see how is being investigated if this is the case here as well.

Alejandro Vergara
Alejandro Vergara is curator of Flemish and Dutch painting in the Museo del Prado in Madrid. He came to Stockholm especially for the research-opportunity: it doesn’t happen that often that the two paintings are presented next to each other.

Extra arm?
On the röntgen picture at the right you can see a vague divergent form. This must be an earlier painting, under the top layers of paint of the Rotterdam painting. Röntgen technology gives the art historian insight in the drawings or paintings under the painting surface. This is how art historians can see the changes artists made during the painting process.

From Stockholm with Love
Two 17th-century paintings, rontgen photography, paint samples and five top specialists in the area of 17th century painting with sparkling eyes. For two days Catrien Schreuder eye-witnessed an art historical research project on two paintings by Anthony van Dyck. She travelled to Stockholm, where the works were both placed in the restoration studio of the Nationalmuseum.
Catrien Schreuder, senior of education and interpretation, developed a concept for a multimedia presentation of this research project. The exhibition can be visited from 5 December 2009 til 14 February 2010. Catrien Schreuder made a video impression of her trip to Stockholm.
