Abstract (en)

Describes the formal representation and analysis of a visual structure, craquelure. Various statistical methods demonstrate a relationship between a formal representation of craquelure and art-historical categories of paintings. The results of this work provide confirmation of connoisseurial claims regarding craquelure as a broad indicator of authorship. The techniques employed in this study are repertory grid, hierarchical clustering, multidimensional scaling and discriminant analysis. Examples studied include Italian, Flemish, Dutch and French paintings, 14th-18th cs.
