The Cezanne Painting

The composition is very characteristic of his constructivist phase in the late 1880s

The Environment could contribute Polyene

The heavy palette knife strokes are specially characteristic of Cezanne's period

IR spectrum proves that the bider is animal glue-based which was used in Cezanne's period

The XRF data showed that the painting composed of elements that were used during Cezanne period.

XRF proved the absence of cadium, barium, titamium and managanese which were not present in Cezanne period of time.

Florescence showed brighter emissions in dark green and orange areas which were similar to other Cezzane paintings

Floresence didn't show any emission of Polyene

The brushwork is indistinguishable from other paintings of Cezanne from that period

The UV spectrum test shows that the Polyene absorbance is 0.6 while it should be around 0.15

Not likely to be a 100 years old

The IR spectroscopy indirectly shows the presence of cadmium and barium which were not used untill 2o years after Cezanne died

IR indicates the presence of an underdrawing which, if true, would make the painting a fake
