Methodology for determining forgeries and copies of miniature paintings
Sondej,Antonín ; Hradilová,Janka ; Hradil,David
The methodology describes the signs by which it is possible to distinguish between an original miniature portrait painting and other types of imitations, whether they were produced individually or in serial reproduction. For this classification, the methodology uses both routinely available tools (e.g. a magnifying glass or a stereomicroscope) as well as specialized imaging and analytical instruments, without the help of which accurate determination cannot be done. In all cases, these are non-invasive procedures that do not require any material removal from the painting. The analytical procedures used to determine the provenance of a work are in some cases completely new.

Schröder's role as teacher is rethought on the light of the artistic situation of the last decade of the 17th century in Prague. The commission entrusted to Schröder by Gundakar Dietrichstein to paint forty-three copies after original paintings once located in the collections of the Prague Castle for the Libochovice estate has proved to be an help to affirm the passage of important original paintings through the picture gallery of Prague Castle and in few cases to...
