Samenvatting
In 2002, a painting was presented to the Atelier voor Restauratie & Research van Schilderijen (ARRS) with the request to investigate the authenticity of the work. The owner asked for this research because documentation on the painting was limited to a summary provenance of the object: just a few letters by painting experts.
We decided to draw up a rigorous research plan. The first thing to do was to determine if we were dealing with a painting 'from the period'. Once this had been confirmed, we decided how to proceed with our investigation into the maker of the painting. This book is the record of that 'road to authentication.'
The goal of this publication, however, is not only to determine the authenticity of the painting as such, but also to document the many aspects that play a ro... (Lees verder)le in such an authentication. It is about interdisciplinary research. The small number of works on authentication that have been published are dominated either by the art historical or the technical approach. This publication aims at breaking new ground by recording every aspect of the art historical, technical paint and material research.
Several people have generously participated in the extensive research and this calls for a note of thanks for their willingness to share their knowledge and experience.
Firstly we would like to thank the owners of the painting for their patience and support. Without their enthusiasm this project could not have been completed.
We are indebted to Willem Russell for his particularly stimulating contribution to the methodology of the process of authentication. The Technische Universiteit Delft played an important role by contributing brain- and manpower to parts of the technical analyses. The technical research conducted by Kris Krug was of particularly great significance for the conclusions of the authentication research. In this respect we also owe a debt of gratitude to the team lead by Alberto Bravin at the ESRF in Grenoble that gave us permission to use the medical beamline.
We would like to thank the Department of Earth Sciences-FALW, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, for the preparation of polished oriented sections of paint chips. We owe a special debt of gratitude to Wynanda Koot. The Geotechnical Laboratory for Optical Microscopy, Electron Microscopy and Qualitative X-ray Analysis (EDS) was also very helpful. We would like to thank Alex den Ouden, Saskia Kars and Wim Lustenhouwer in particular.
We would also like to thank Gareth R. Davies of the Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometry (TIMS) Laboratory for his contribution to our investigation.
Our special thanks go out to Nicholas Eastaugh and Jilleen Nadolny.
Our gratitude goes out to Pascal Cotte and Jean Penicaut of Lumière Technology for their contribution to the imaging of the painting.
The archive research in Paris was very efficiently and thoroughly prepared by Eloise d'Argent. We would like to thank her and Monsieur Hermès and Madame Du Chantelle of the equestrian Museum Hermès in Paris.
The museums that gave us permission to examine paintings by Édouard Manet were instrumental in helping along our investigation. The American museums in particular were a paragon of hospitality and openness.
