'The scientific techniques described encompass relevant examples of
forgery detection and of authentication. The book deals, to name a
few, with the Chagall, the Jackson Pollock and the Beltracchi
affairs and discusses the Isleworth Mona Lisa as well as La Bella
Principessa both thought to be a Leonardo creation. The
authentication, amongst others, of two van Gogh paintings, of
Vermeer's St Praxedis, of Leonardo's Lady with an Ermine and of
Rembrandt's Old Man with a Beard are also described.'Over the last
few decades there has been a disconcerting increase in the number
of forged paintings. In retaliation, there has been a rise in the
use, efficiency and ability of scientific techniques to detect
these forgeries. The scientist has waged war on the forger.The
Scientist and the Forger describes the cutting-edge and traditional
weapons in this battle, showing how they have been applied to the
most notorious cases. The book also provides fresh insights into
the psychology of both the viewer and the forger, shedding light on
why the discovery that a work of art is a forgery makes us view it
so differently and providing a gripping analysis of the myriad
motivations behind the most egregious incursions into deception.The
book concludes by discussing the pressing problems faced by the art
world today, stressing the importance of using appropriate tools
for a valid verdict on authenticity. Written in an approachable and
amenable style, the book will make fascinating reading for
non-specialists, art historians, curators and scientists alike.

'This book is a gem! Truly 'A Journey Through Active
Learning'.Dudley HerschbachNobel Laureate in Chemistry'Incredible!
Because it's credible. What is absolutely remarkable about Jehane
Ragai and Tamer Shoeib's book is that a textbook (!) draws us in
so. It accomplishes this by imagined tales of artistic
authentication that are exciting both as human stories and as
detailed, documented accounts of scientific detection that teach!
The theatrical staging of the scientific detective work, and the
factual credibility (and limits) of the scientific techniques
applied - remarkably clearly laid out in a voluminous endnotes
section - intertwine in this book in a unique way. And sometimes,
just as in the real world, the evidence and the experts disagree -
the decision is left in your hands. I think that many young people
reading this adventurous book will be drawn to become art
analysts.'Roald HoffmannNobel Laureate in Chemistry (1981) and
writerIn the last few years, the problems of authenticity in
paintings have reached untenable proportions in tandem with a lack
of understanding from connoisseurs and collectors of the insights
that modern scientific investigation can offer. In some cases,
because of this lack of knowledge, the results of scientific
analysis are treated with suspicion.The art world has gradually
come to realize the need to develop educational programs that aim
at improving the technical know-how of collectors, connoisseurs,
and young students who seek work as art scientists. As an
introductory textbook, Technical Art History is an essential
contributor to addressing this need.Traditional and innovative
scientific techniques are introduced and explained through separate
case studies, using the analysis of paintings and their
authentication as a vehicle. This book will equip the reader with
the ability to discern the most appropriate techniques in an
authenticity endeavor and to have an increased appreciation of the
value of an integrated approach in the evaluation of an
artwork.This is the first undergraduate textbook in the new field
of Technical Art History, a teaching guide with all the answers is
available for all teachers.
