Abstract
This paper examines the main methods and procedures used to copy the work of Bartolomé E. Murillo outside of his surroundings and workshop. These are based on evidence found in Sevillian pictorial copies which have been examined at the Centre d’Art d’Época Moderna (CAEM) at the University of Lleida over the past few years, compared to the documentary sources found in the General Archive of the Archbishopric in Seville. New digital imaging techniques are widely used to document and examine paintings. This paper focuses on near infrared range techniques, revealing physical traces related to the creation and execution of the painting (ductus and brushstrokes, alterations, underdrawing and staining, the pictorial composition process, changes and pentimenti, repainting, pigment identification, etc.).
