The Netherlands Institute for Conservation+Art+Science+ (NICAS) will hold a two-day conference ‘Journey into the Ageing & Alterations of Paintings’ (JAAP) at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam on 3 and 4 April 2025.
Scope
This conference will explore how molecular research contributes to deeper insights into the creation and craftsmanship of paintings and to decision-making and treatments in both active and preventive conservation of paintings. It highlights the interdisciplinary nature of conservation science, showcasing the latest advances in technology and molecular material sciences. The conference will bring together different expertise, insights and knowledge. It will serve as a platform to expand our knowledge on paints, to develop new strategies for conservation treatments, preventive conservation and art historical interpretation.
