Abstract

This paper discusses the need for conservators to be in a position to evaluate scientific research to inform their conservation practice. A range of methods and approaches to research in selected recent studies is highlighted together with suggestions about how the results of molecular level material studies may be used by conservators to guide more specific and appropriate treatment choices. The advantages and compromises of case study research and the use of aged reconstructions is highlighted in relation to ethical and practical criteria with evaluation of treatment options for cleaning modern oil paintings. A case study highlights the issues and an approach for treatment of a modern partly varnished oil painting with sensitive passages of paint containing epsomite.
