Parution : Elisabeth Ravaud, “Radiography and Painting”, Turnhout, Brepols, 2023
Elisabeth Ravaud is a doctor of medicine, specialised in radiology and scientific imaging and has defended a PhD in Art history. She has been working at the charge of studies and research on easel paintings. She works more particularly on the contribution of scientific imaging to the knowledge and conservation of European easel paintings from the 11th to the early 20th century. Her skills in all techniques or analysis used to study paintings, in xylology, in art history, in history of painting techniques and conservation, allow her a multi and interdisciplinary approach that is particularly valuable in the scientific expertise of easel paintings. She has studied the paintings of numerous artists including Giotto, Leonardo da Vinci, Jean Cousin, Nicolas Poussin, Georges de La Tour, Vincent Van Gogh… Elisabeth Ravaud also coordinated the ICOM-CC Painting Group from 2014 to 2020.
The ‘Centre de Recherche et de Restauration des Musées de France’ (C2RMF)
The C2RMF is a Department with national competence of the Ministry of Culture. It has two main missions: scientific research, centred on the knowledge of artworks from French museums in particular their original materials, and conservation/restoration of these works, carried out in its conservation studios in Paris and Versailles or by scientific support on site. Its particularity is to bring together in the same place, around the works, the combined views and skills of art historians, physicists, chemists, curators, archaeologists, restorers, photographers, documentalists, administrators and technicians. The C2RMF is aimed at the 1220 labelled “museums of France”. It benefits from the support of the Ministry of Research, thanks to collaborations with the National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), as well as from the European Community through transnational projects.
