The aim of this chair is to research the use of powerful, newly developed imaging methods for the study of paintings. It also aims to contribute to services and education in this field. For the latter, the chair will familiarize art historians, curators, and conservators with these innovative imaging techniques, both theoretically and practically.
For this purpose, there is a collaboration between the University of Antwerp (Department of Chemistry and Conservation), the KIK-IRPA, the KU Leuven and the Belgian museums.
The chair is funded by the Baillet Latour Fund, which is passionate about preserving our cultural heritage.
