Facture: conservation, science, art history

Uittreksel

"Facture, a biennial conservation journal from the National Gallery of Art, presents the latest research on works in the National Gallery's collection. Named for 'the manner in which things are made', Facture seeks to foster dialogue among art historians, scientists, and conservators in the international museum community. Volume 6 explores the themes of workshops and studios in different cultural contexts and various media. The six peer-reviewed essays, richly illustrated with detailed photography, generate valuable insights for conservators, art historians, and scientific researchers."-- On back of cover.
