Summary
Volume III of the Maelwael Van Lymborch Studies focuses on the results of state-of-the-art research in multidisciplinary articles. Elisabeth Ravaud, head of a team of researchers at the Centre de Recherche et de Restauration des Musées de France (C2RMF), shares her insights and analyses of her research by non-invasive scientific techniques to investigate the Van Lymborch making process, to evaluate the degree of completeness of the illuminations at the time of their death and to characterize the state of conservation. Her article presents the main results of this campaign, describing the materials, pigments, metallic decorations and the painting techniques in the Très Riches Heures, in light of the archival sources and contemporary works.
