Tracing the Touch: Automated Fingerprint Mark Identification in Terracotta Artworks by Artus I Quellinus

On the occasion of Amsterdam 750, the Royal Palace Amsterdam and the Rijksmuseum join forces in the first major exhibition dedicated to Artus Quellinus, the most important Baroque sculptor of the Dutch Golden Age. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, a special UT scientific project by Dzemila Sero is taking place: for the first time, human impressions and fingerprints on Quellinus' terracotta models are being systematically examined with groundbreaking results.
