STUDIES
INTRODUCTION
The Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum attempts to document and explain its technical analysis methods, which are essential for determining the restoration treatments that need to be applied and provide a wealth of historical information. Knowing the techniques and materials used by artists is vital in order to save an artwork from further deterioration. By exploring the creative process, we can crack open a door to the artist’s mind and his time and gain a deeper understanding of the work and its context.
