On Three Bronze Statuettes

Chemical Investigation of Two Ancient Bronze Statuettes Found in Greece

The study of bronze statuettes with the help of neutron-imaging techniques

Until recently fabrication techniques of Renaissance bronzes have been studied only with the naked eye, microscopically, videoscopically and with X-radiography. These techniques provide information on production techniques, yet much important detail remains unclear. As part of an interdisciplinary study of Renaissance bronzes undertaken by the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, neutron-imaging techniques h...
