TESTIMONIALS
FOR MY MULTISPECTRAL IMAGING DOCUMENTATION SERVICE
Yngve Magnusson, MSc
Head of Conservation, The Bergen Museum of Art, Norway
Dr. Antonino Cosentino has worked on two projects in Bergen Art Museum. Both projects have given us information
"never seen before", for two leading Artists in Norway; J.C.Dahl and Edvard Munch. From the original need for
Documentation as preparation for Conservation work, has the Multi Spectral Imaging led us to new exhibition material.
Dr. Cosentino has also assisted us in finding the right tools for presenting the information. With an average of
documenting 5 to 6 paintings a day, have we used our budget for documentation very well. In 6 weeks work did Dr.
Cosentino produced enough material for two or three publications. I can recommend the services of Dr Cosentino, for
every one that need high level, quality scientific information about their paintings. I will continue using the service of
Dr. Cosentino.
Francisco Trujillo, Associate Book Conservator The Morgan Library & Museum, New York, NY
Dr. Cosentino does terrific work. He is professional, fast and highly competent. I would gladly work with him again.
