As Light Meets Matter:
Art Under Scrutiny
Dalia Kamar
Edgar Collins find painting
Possibly Cézanne
Taken to be examined by Spectrotech
No clear conclusion reached
Dr. Simpkins Luminescence images
fluorescence using UV excitation from mercury lamp
fluorescence matched Cexanne
Contradicted UV data of Dr. Pruschy
Dr. Montoya X-ray Fluorescence (XRF)
Elemental composition of colors
XRF data matches timeperiod
Colors and composition matched
Art Historians view
Dr. Marden concluded they agree
Based on size, no signature, composition, brushwork
Dr. Pruschy UV Spectrum
Showed substaintial absorption from polyene
Polyene absorbance didn't match
Not likely Cezanne
Dr. Anderson Infrared Spectroscopy (IR)
IR to detect anomalies beneth paint
Underdrawing
Animal glue binder
