Art under scrutiny

NO CLEAR CONCLUSION WAS REACHED!

5 scientists from Spectrotech

Dr. Simpkins

He claimed that it could be a Cezanne painting

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!

Dr. Wandless

Edgar agrees to do the investigation

The investigation is goint to take place at "Spectroscopic techniques"

She told him she wants to investigate the matter

She told Edgar that the painting might be fake!

the curator of the musuem

Dmitri

He told Edgar that a research took place, and it was concluded that no more Cezanne paintings are to be "likely found

He told Edgar that it is risky to keep on buying these paintings
