Spirits raised: art in the making

October 27 sees the opening of a major and scholarly exhibition
at the National Gallery, London. Images have been retrieved from
the underdrawings to major oil and tempera works by Raphael, Brueghel
and Cranach the Elder, and Carlo Crevelli, as well as Jacopo Pontormo
and Cosimo Tura in particular. The exhibition reveals secrets in
technique only guessed at until recently. The exhibition is sponsored
by GlaxoSmithKline and offers free entry. Forgers beware technology
sees all.
