X-ray computed tomography for non-invasive dendrochronology reveals a concealed double panelling on a painting from Rubens’ studio

Abstract: Dating the wood from historical art objects is a crucial step to ascertain their production time, and support or refute attribution to an artist or a workshop. Dendrochronology is commonly used for this purpose but requires access to the tree-ring pattern in the wood, which can be hindered by preparatory layers, polychromy, wax, or integrated frames. Here we implemented non-invasive dendrochronology based on X-ray computed tomography (CT) to examine a painting on panel attributed to Rubens’ studio and its pres… Show more

“…Une approche d'imagerie par tomographie a été adoptée pour une petite partie de la collection des étiquettes de momie (38 individus) de la BNU à l'Institut Charles Sadron de Strasbourg (figure 4). L'objectif était d'obtenir une vision interne du bois suffisamment nette et précise pour permettre de réaliser des mesures de largeur de cernes à partir des imageries par Rayon X et d'envisager selon les résolutions d'identifier l'anatomie du bois (Grabner et al, 2009 ;Dominguez-Delmás et. al., 2021).…”

“…5 cm segments) which are taken from the cross section of the panels (Myhr et al, 2007). Even more modern technologies using an industrial CT scanner or X-ray technology allow the analysis of tree rings noninvasively (van den Bulcke et al, 2014;Stelzner and Million, 2015;Daly and Streeton, 2017;Domínguez-Delmás et al, 2021a). Dendrochronological analyses on furniture are less common but similarly important as they highlight woodworking and stylistic changes in the society (Pickvance, 2012(Pickvance, , 2015Klein et al, 2014;Allen, 2015;Domínguez-Delmás et al, 2021b).…”

“…Dendrochronological analyses are sometimes performed on wooden objects from museum collections [ 1 ]: these may include architectural wood (e.g., boats, construction wood) [ 2 , 3 ], domestic objects [ 4 , 5 ] or pieces of art [ 6 , 7 ]. Analyses on objects conserved in museums are performed on woods from the Neolithic to the Common Era.…”

“…They necessarily have to rely, however, whenever possible, on non-destructive approaches [ 1 ] such as high-resolution digital photography, hyper-spectral imaging, fast ion beam analysis [ 8 ] or X-ray computed tomography (XRCT). The latter allows visualization of the internal structure of wood without affecting its integrity [ 4 , 7 , 9 – 11 ]. It allows an internal view of the anatomy of the species used, but also provides archaeological (i.e.…”
