Methods of <strong>Detection</strong><br />
There are two ways to determine is a piece of art is <strong>the</strong> real, or if it<br />
has been forged. The first way is by using a more subjective<br />
method known as Stylistic analysis. This form of au<strong>the</strong>ntication<br />
relies on <strong>the</strong> keen eyes of art historians who use <strong>the</strong>ir knowledge<br />
of <strong>the</strong> uniqueness <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> progression of <strong>the</strong> artist’s style to con-<br />
clude whe<strong>the</strong>r a piece of art is au<strong>the</strong>ntic or not. The second<br />
method, Technical analysis, utilizes equipment such as microscopes<br />
to view <strong>the</strong> oxidized cracks of oil paintings, or <strong>the</strong> extra layers on<br />
ancient glasses. This technique is used to see if <strong>the</strong>re are parts of<br />
<strong>the</strong> artwork that have been artificially induced.
