Analytical scientists are at the forefront of monitoring the environment and detecting forgeries in artwork. Microscopes, essential tools in forensic work, enable scientists to determine the age of paintings by examining their surface structure. Foragers often simulate aging through techniques like rolling the canvas, rapid heating and cooling, and applying a stippling varnish for an authentic appearance. This meticulous process highlights the importance of quality control in art conservation and the study of forensic archaeology, ensuring the integrity of historical artifacts.
