Canvas Print : Infra-red scanning of a forged painting
Canvas Prints from Science Photo Library
Infra-red scanning of a forged painting
Art forgery detection. Infra-red scanner illuminating a section of a forged painting. This is a copy of a painting by Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472-1553). Once the whole of the painting has been scanned, the infra-red image produced may reveal previously hidden features of the painting, for example, underlying sketches or areas where the paint has been retouched. This work is being carried out at the Doerner Institute in Munich, Germany, which is headed by Dr Andreas Burmester. The Institute specializes in the detection of art forgeries by various imaging techniques and chemical analyses

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate process of detecting art forgeries through infra-red scanning. The image captures a moment at the renowned Doerner Institute in Munich, Germany, where Dr Andreas Burmester leads a team specializing in uncovering counterfeit artworks using advanced imaging techniques and chemical analyses. In this particular scene, an infra-red scanner is illuminating a section of a forged painting attributed to Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472-1553), one of history's most celebrated artists. As the entire painting undergoes scanning, the infra-red technology reveals previously concealed elements within the artwork. These may include underlying sketches or areas where paint has been retouched - crucial clues that help experts distinguish genuine masterpieces from clever imitations. The non-destructive nature of this testing method allows researchers to delve into every brushstroke without causing harm to these precious works of art. By harnessing cutting-edge technology like infra-red scanners, scientists at the Doerner Institute are pushing boundaries in their quest to preserve artistic authenticity and protect cultural heritage. This remarkable photograph not only captures a pivotal moment in forgery detection but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and dedication towards safeguarding our artistic legacy. It reminds us that behind every great masterpiece lies an equally fascinating story waiting to be unveiled by those who tirelessly strive for truth and authenticity in the world of art.
