Learning outcomes

The aim of the course is therefore to introduce students to the fundamentals of these exact analytical methods, as well as to new interdisciplinary methodological approaches that differ from standard stylistic analysis. Thanks to the synergy between natural sciences and historical (or art-historical) research, it becomes possible not only to confirm, correct, or refute long-standing assumptions about artworks and their origins, but more importantly, to view the history of art in new contextsrelated to the development of craft and artistic techniques, the availability, extraction, or production of materials, and so on. These methods can thus make a significant contribution to improving the quality of knowledge and to gaining a more realistic understanding of the past.
Through the presented case studies, the student will understand the benefits of applying analytical research methods as opposed to relying solely on stylistic analysis when addressing art-historical or archaeological problems. The student will comprehend the principles of the research methods presented and will be able to assess the appropriateness of applying specific methods in particular cases.
