Dürer sketch and Rembrandt portrait with Agnews Gallery
In April 2022, The Virgin and Child with a Flower on a Grassy Bench, a drawing by Albrecht Dürer, was recorded using the Selene Photometric Stereo System as part of a collaboration with Agnews Gallery. The aim of this digital recording was to help researchers and the general public to study one of the most important Old Master drawings to surface in living memory.
The recording has also facilitated insights into the materiality of the drawing, offering a new dimension of appreciation for scholars and enthusiasts alike. A small Portrait of a Man by Rembrandt was also recorded using the Lucida 3D Scanner and the Selene system. The recording of both front and back of the panel has informed its attribution to the dutch master.
