craquelure

Isaac Kremer/ November 11, 2023/ / 0 comments

In French, for “cracking.” A pattern of fine cracks on the surface of a painting or a ceramic object. In an oil painting, craquelure forms because the paint dries and becomes less flexible as it ages and shrinks. It can be used by experts to determine the age of a painting and to detect forgeries. (Kremer, 2023)
