The Science of Art Conservation
At the Chrysler Museum of Art, what we learn through the care and conservation of a work of art helps us better understand and appreciate its meaning. That work would be impossible without an array of scientific tools. This is certainly true for Jan Gossaert's Madonna and Child, a painting with an extraordinary story that looking alone cannot reveal.
Dr. Scott Howe, director of education and public programs, will lead an investigation of the Gossaert, addressing the meaning of the work, its physical changes over time, and efforts to learn more about the painting through conservator's tools (such as microscopes, x-ray, ultraviolet light, and infrared imaging). The result will be an entirely new understanding of this 16th-century masterpiece.
