Sommario/riassunto

This book, authored by Howell G. M. Edwards, presents a comprehensive forensic analytical evaluation of a Raphael Madonna and Child oil painting, specifically the de Brecy Tondo. The work confirms the painting's authenticity as a study by Raphael for his Sistine



Madonna, commissioned for the monastic church of San Sisto in Piacenza. The book details the meticulous historical and scientific research, including both invasive and non-invasive scientific imaging, alongside physical and chemical analysis. It explores the challenges faced in convincing the formal art world of its authenticity, highlighting contributions from art scholars, historians, and forensic scientists. Intended for art historians, forensic scientists, and those interested in art authentication, this work underscores the intersection of art and science in uncovering historical truths.
