In Tomme’s painting everyone has halos including the saints. He painted them in a whiteish transparent hue with gold patterns. In comparison to Bouts’ painting, he only…

The surface is examined using light microscopy, X radiography, reflected Infra-red…

During the processes of painting and repainting - the practice of applying paint and scraping it back off again - there are resultant blemishes, bumps, knocks and scratches that accumulate incrementally on the surface.
