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. Through the synergy of natural science and historical (or art-historical) research, it becomes possible not only to confirm, adjust, or refute various long-standing assumptions about artworks and their origins, but more importantly, to view the history of art in new contextssuch as the development of craft and artistic techniques, the availability, extraction, or production of materials, and more. In this way, these methods can make a significant contribution to improving the quality of knowledge itself 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 compared to relying solely on stylistic analysis when addressing art-historical or archaeological issues. The student will comprehend the essence of the research methods presented and will be able to distinguish the appropriateness of applying specific methods in particular cases.
