Saint Bartholomew by Simone Martini’s workshop
The Metropolitan Museum of Art
In October 2016, GSAPP students were given the opportunity to work at The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s 3D Imaging Department, recording the surface of Saint Bartholomew, an early XIV C. panel by Simone Martini’s workshop. The work was arranged as a demonstration of the possibilities of high-resolution 3D scanning technology for the documentation of artworks for conservation purposes.
