Technological Classification of the Finished Painted Surface: A Calibrated Multiparametric Framework

This note proposes a method for comparing paintings by the technological organization of the finished painted surface rather than by style, historical importance, market value, subject matter, or artist reputation. The method uses a calibrated set of independent diagnostic parameters to construct a multiparametric technological profile of a specific work. It also separates direct visual assessment (V-profile) from a later evidence-based assessment incorporating technical examination and documented process information (E-profile). The framework is presented as a research model requiring independent inter-rater validation.
