On Thursday, February 9, 2017, the last public evening lecture from the series ?Scientific Insights into Art and Cultural Property? ( www.naturwissenschaftliche-einsichten.de ) took place in Dresden. 86 visitors took the opportunity to hear Dr. Matthias Alfeld from Paris on the subject of "Large-scale element distribution images of historical paintings show hidden things" to listen and above all to watch. The series of lectures on the importance of modern analysis in researching our cultural heritage was jointly organized by the working groups "archaeometry" and "analytics with radionuclides and high-performance radiation sources Power Radiation Sources (ARH)". Both working groups belong to the GDCh Division of Analytical Chemistry. A total of around 500 visitors took advantage of the free lectures.
