Used both short & long-wave UV excitation
Dr. Montoya
She used (XRF), & she found out that the composition of the painting matches the pigments used in Cezanne's era!
Dr. Andersen
He claimed that if he found a drawing beneath it; then it's certainly not a Cezanne
He used IR to detect if there are any paintings beneath the one drawn
Dr. Pruschy
This polyene showed that the painting is not that old, not a century old!
He investigated the UV spectrum and it showed that there are "polyenes" present in the paint.
Dr. Marden
He found the painting exciting, and he thinks it's a Cezannes' painting!
