Abstract (en)

Discusses species of wood used in Italian panel paintings, 14th-16th cs., and notes that 90% of the examples considered were poplar, which has too few growth rings to permit dendrochronological dating. Presents results of analysis of the poplar panels used in seven paintings by Raphael.
