This international symposium, sponsored by the J. Paul Getty Museum, was attended by more than two hundred participants from some twenty countries. It was the first international gathering devoted specifically to the structural stabilization of panel paintings.
This book encompasses the wide range of topics covered by the speakers. After an introductory examination of wood characteristics, the papers go on to consider the technological aspects of wood, the history of panel-making techniques, and the various methods of panel stabilization that have been developed and refined over the course of many centuries. Other articles focus on the modern scientific and technical advances that conservation has made in the second half of the twentieth century—advances that have helped conservators solve, often by innovative methods, the most challenging structural problems.
