Andrea Sartorius participated in developing a research project in collaboration with scientists of the J. Paul Getty Museum, the University of Stanford and the University of Delft, in 2008/ 2009. The project aimed to examine and visualize a rejected and later overpainted portrait by Rembrandt Van Rijn (1606 – 1669) using a synchotron based xrf-scanning method. Her work has involved the planning and creating a series of complicated mock-ups for the project– including a full-scale re-creation of the painting – and two periods of residency at the synchrotron facilities at Stanford University during the test exposures.
