Cezanee painting

Authentic

Polyenes could be contaminated caused by soot or burning lamp

Art historians

unsigned and many of cezanee paintings weren't signed

the painting is similar to one of Cezanee workings

It gives the feeling of Cezanee

painted in late 1880s

His paintings weren't from the nature but scratching in his studio

Fluorenscence data

green areas in the trees and orange are as bright as Cezanee paintings

use the same orange pigments(very similar)

Made in the same studio

XRF(X ray fluorescence)

elemental compositions of the painting match the composition of pigment during 1839-1906

the pigment were known before and during the cezanee time

Fake

UV spectrum

Substantial absorption from apolyene

painting showing absorbance of 0.6,so it is not like to be from 100 years ago

Infrared Spectroscopy(IR)

Yellow areas shows cadmium-based composed of cadmium yellow lithepone(cadnium-barium)

this mix wasn't there till 1927

the binder is used is animal glue binder and it is used in the nineteeth century till 1940s

cezanee didn't draw underpainting

Unkown source

no evidence from Fluorescence for polyene emission fom the painting although it should be sensetive than UV absorption
