Observations focus on what both the internal "skeleton" and the exterior "skin" revealed during the conservation process that supports a history of the plaster model’s repeated use, as well as offers details about the role of intermediates in historical studio technique. Also presented is the use of 3-D scanning as a digital tool for art historical research in addition to its enabling the making of a 3-D "print" of the plaster model suitable for gallery display. |
