The Jean-Jacques Comhaire Prize has been awarded to François Mathis, a researcher at the European Centre for Archaeometry in Liege, for his project on the analysis, using non-invasive techniques, of the decoration of old objects made from copper alloys.
The Foundation acquired this prestigious, early 15th century book of hours, which is typical of the pre-Eyckian output of workshops in Bruges during this period. The work has been entrusted to the Groeninge Museum as part of its permanent collection.
