Review of the work of Antonio Bisquert carried out in the city of Teruel through radiographic analysis and characterization of materials by SEM / EDX
Abstract
The present research work, with an interdisciplinary character, focuses on a study where historical-artistic data were combined with extensive radiographic documentation and extensive stratigraphic and chemical studies using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. All this on a set of eight canvases of the artistic work`s Antonio Bisquert in the city of Teruel.
These works are located in the Museum of Sacred Art of Teruel and in different churches of this area. The results show a compendium of radiographic unpublished images, which reflects the entire creative process and the genesis of the works, revealing contrasted attributions and the use of subsequent retouchings considered not original, which were executed by the same hand at the same time. All these data generate a great interest for the recognition and the development of forgotten the artist’s output.
