7. Investigating the Renaissance: Examining Material Aspects of Three Early
Netherlandish Paintings Using Digital Imaging Techniques--HUAM [Shockwave]
http://www.artmuseums.harvard.edu/Renaissance/index.html
The Harvard University Art Museums provide this fascinating site, a
technologically enhanced look at three Netherlandish Renaissance Paintings:
_Portrait of a Man_ (Master of the 1540s), _The Virgin and Child_ (Workshop
of Dirck Bouts), and _The Last Judgement_ (Jan Provoost). Designed to
demonstrate how scientific techniques can aid in both art conservation and
education, the site provides images of the paintings with selected details,
as well as explanations of infrared reflectography, X-radiography and
ultraviolet light. Highlight of the site, however, is the "examples"
section, which includes a detailed examination (click in the red boxes), a
three step cleaning guide, and a multi-layered view. In the multi-layered
view, Shockwave based comparisons of visible light with infrared and x-ray
views of the painting are available. [JS]

14. Book Arts Web
http://www.dreamscape.com/pdverhey/
Peter Verheyen, Conservation Librarian at Syracuse University, has put
together this gateway to book arts related web sites. Information is
available on letterpress printing, typography, hand book binding and paper
making, rare book dealers and conservation of library materials. Included
are home pages of individual book artists, printers, and bookbinders and
their organizations, several listservs with searchable archives,
specialized bibliographies and links to a variety of arts organizations.
There is also a gallery with images of handbound books and links to online
exhibitions and collections, including a show of miniature books at the
University of Iowa, and the Joan Flasch Artists' Book Collection at the
School of the Art Institute of Chicago. [DS]
