The documentary features Joris Dik as he works toward re-attributing ‘Portrait of an Old Man with a Beard’ as a Rembrandt painting.

Art historians and scientists have joined forces, enabling new details about paintings to be exposed.

The combination of new data and expert knowledge of artists’ methods allows the Rembrandt Research Project and a group of material scientists to make startling new discoveries.

In addition to Rembrandt's “Old Man”, the film explores scientific study of “Patch of Grass” by Vincent Van Gogh, “The Armourers Shop” by David Teniers and two medieval religious relics.

These studies conducted by esteemed scientists such as Dr. Joris Dik from the University of Delft, Dr. D Peter Siddons from the Brookhaven National Laboratory and Dr. Arthur Woll from Cornell University use innovative and non-invasive x-ray and 3D imaging techniques to achieve a greater understanding of how these incredible works were created.
