A Digital Tool to Understand the Pictorial Procedures of 17th Century Realism
Abstract
To unveil the mystery of the exquisitely rendered materials in Dutch 17^th century paintings, we need to understand the pictorial procedures of this period. We focused on the Dutch master Jan de Heem, known for his highly convincing still-lifes. We reconstructed his systematic multi-layered approach to paint grapes, based on pigment distribution maps, layers stratigraphy, and a 17^th century textual source. We digitised the layers reconstruction to access the temporal information of the painting procedure. We combined the layers via optical mixing into a digital tool that can be used to answer “what if” art historical questions about the painting composition, by editing the order, weight and colour of the layers.
