Abstract

The paper deals with the application of radiographic and pigment analysis (by means of the Barrido electronic microscope) to stratigraphies obtained from micro-samples of this painting by Pedro de Moya. The aim is to
investigate the techniques used in the creation of the work, from an examination of the nature and application of canvas preparation to an account of the number and thickness of layers of paint and of the materials used by the painter. We attempt to establish Moya's modus operandi and to relate it to the aesthetic characteristics of his work.
