geome‘A. Clote Bseminasion at che National Gallery
looks at 40 problematic works fom the Galleys
collection — including outright forgeries,
‘misaeributions, parties, copie, altered or over-
restored paintings, and works whose authentcivy
has wrongly been doubved. The curators have
taken on a huge subject the range of possibilities
_museuin professionals take into consideration when
they investigate a pictures satus and the variery of
{echnical procedures conservation scientists use ro
ceablich authorship and dat. The case histories
they discuss havea single common denominator. In
‘whatever dteetion and to whatever conclusion the
‘combined discipline of connoisseurship, science and
‘art history may lead, the study of any work of art
begins with a question: isthe work by the ait co
‘whom itis ateributed?
BA good example isan Tallan painting on panel
thatthe National Gallery acquired in 1923, as che
‘work ofan artist in che circle ofthe Tealian fecnth-
‘century painter Melozzo da For, Todas we find it
Incredible chat anyone was ever Fooled by a picare
that lok ike ie was painted by a Suralis follower
‘of Salador Dali, But chis sv forget how ile was
Iknoven about Melozzo 90 yeats ago, and how lee
could be done in the conservation lab ro determine
the date of pigments or wood panel. Even so, fiom
the moment che picture was acquired, sceptics called
its stars into question, Nothing could be proved
tunel 1960 when a costume historian pointed out
the many anachronisms in the clothing. When
technological advances enabled the gallery totes the
pigment, they were found tobe from the nineteenth
century
© Scientific evidence can be invaluable bu it has to
‘he used with caution and in tandem with historical
research For example, Corot’ ravishing sketch The
Roman Campagna, with the Claudian Aqueduct as
always been dated co about 1826, soon after the
angst’ arial in Rome. However, the green pigment
called veidian that Corot used throughout the
picture only Became available ro ati in the 1830s
“The landscape wasnt a fake and for site seasons
couldnt have been painted later than the mid-1820s.
All became clea when ar historians did further
research and discovered thac the fim cha sold arcs’
supplies to Corot in Pai started making the newly
developed colour available to selected customers in
the 18205, long before it came into widespread use.
Seeing through the fakes
D The flipside of fake, bur capable of doing equal
violence to an artist’ reputation, occurs when an
authentic work is mistakenly labelled a forgery. Beck
in 1996, I well remember hovr distressing i was 10
read an article in which the former director of the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, Thomas Hoving,
declared chat Uccll's lovely lice canvas of St George
‘and the Dragon was forged. The gallery therefore
Grayed the picture and ested paine samples, before
concluding that it was a rare survival ofa wodk
by Uceelo dating fom the early 1470s. Hoving
‘was responsible noc because he questioned the
attribution ofa much-loved work, but because he
‘went public withous fist asking che galley co carey
‘outa thorough scientific analysis
E Anyone can label a picture a fake ora copy, but
‘their opinions are worthless unless chey can suppor
them with tangible proof. One picture that’s been
smeared inthis way ie Raphael’ Madonna ofthe
Pinks. In cis exhibition, we aze show infrared
photographs that reveal the presence both of major
‘corrections which a copyist would noc need to make,
and alo of under drawing ina hand comparable to
Raphaels when he skerched on paper. The pigments
and painting technique exacdly match those thatthe
artist used in other works of abou the same dae.
F Forallits pleasures, che show also has an
‘unspoken agends cis 2 riposte to che mistaken belief
‘that museums have anything to gain by hiding the

in this show of Cousbecs SelPorrat to the status
