Further support has been graciously received from Silvia Amato, Graeme Barraclough, Bryony Bartlett-­‐ Rawlings, Andrea Bellieni, Laura de Zuani, Jennifer Fletcher, Alexandra Gerstein, Douglas Lewis, Elisabeth Reissner, Enrico Sartori, Maurizio Seracini, Chiara Signorini, Davide Tolomelli and Christina Young.  \n“The task of writing about a minor master is admittedly a peculiarly difficult one. His stylistic development will almost certainly lack the inevitability and inner drive which distinguish the work of the great masters and the temptation is always to play the game of ‘spot the influence’, thus missing the precious core of originality which is what makes the master worth studying”.1  \nAfter several months of combined art historical and technological research on Bartolomeo Montagna, we could not have found a more appropriate leitmotiv than John Steer’s perceptive remarks. Written in response to Lionello Puppi’s important 1962 monograph of the Vicentine artist, they were as much specific to their historic moment as they looked beyond it.2 While more than fifty years have passed since the publication of Steer’s, a more prominent discussion of that“precious core of originality”, whose absence the scholar had already regretted, is still felt lacking.3 In focusing on Bartolomeo Montagna’s Holy Family from the Courtauld Gallery (Fig. 1), this report will allow for a nuanced investigation of a  \n1 J.

Combining the latest results of a comprehensive technical analysis carried out by Jae Youn Chung with an in-­‐depth art historical discussion by Alexander Röstel, this report will offer the reader a broader range of interpretative tools than typically accorded to comparable paintings. This text is divided into two parts of which the first will provide an overview of the state of scholarship on the painting and the artist as well as a careful visual and technical analysis. The second part will deepen specific areas of investigation both from an art historical and technological point of view, focusing on previously unpublished discoveries. In doing so, the structure of this report closely follows the two papers presented by the authors as part of this association in January and May 2015 . It is hoped that this report will provide both the art historian and the conservator who is interested in related areas of research with information and inspiration.  \nIconography  \nThe composition of Bartolomeo Montagna’s Gambier Parry Holy Family is dominated by the pyramidal figure of the Virgin in the centre whose hands are clasped in prayer and directed at her son. The light and dark greens of her cloak match the colour of a cuboid-­‐shaped marble block standing upright on the lower left-­‐hand side against which the Christ child is leaning. His right arm is resting on its top, the head carefully protected by Joseph who takes an active part in the composition, unlike many contemporary depictions of Holy Families in which he acts merely as an onlooker in the distance.
