AbstractThis article employs a combined approach of technical analysis and object biographical research to reassess a 1930s art historical attribution. Two late-medieval polychrome sculptures are examined in the following case study to test a hypothesis suggested by others that they had previously been part of the same altarpiece. This hypothesis is re-evaluated by means of material investigations. Comparisons of the construction techniques and wood used are highly indicative of different workshops. In addition, painting techniques, pigments and layering structures used in the polychromy emphasise the differences between the sculptures. The sculptures’ treatment history on entry into the museum has further accentuated their differences, and has led to divergent conditions of preservation and current appearance of the sculptures. This highlights the effect that conservation treatment or lack thereof can have on an object and its interpretation. Material investigations have not been able to lend support to ...

神圣的关系还是离婚的理由？检查两个中世纪彩色雕塑之间的车间联系

摘要本文采用技术分析和对象传记研究相结合的方法来重新评估1930年代的艺术历史归因。在以下案例研究中检查了两个中世纪晚期的彩色雕塑，以检验其他人提出的假设，即它们以前曾是同一祭坛的一部分。通过物质调查对这一假设进行了重新评估。建筑技术和所用木材的比较高度说明了不同的工作室。此外，多色涂料中使用的绘画技术，颜料和分层结构也强调了雕塑之间的差异。进入博物馆后，雕塑的处理历史进一步加剧了它们之间的差异，并导致了保存条件和雕塑外观的不同。这突显了保守治疗或缺乏保守治疗可能对物体产生的影响及其解释。物质调查无法为...提供支持
