The research of the technical structure of art works aim towards answering basic questions: what materials are used, what is their quality, in what quantity and how they are used. On how many original (technological) layers does the structure of work of art, how thick and of what composition are they. Apart from materials used in the process of art creation, materials added during conservation or reparation, so called secondary elements, are also a subject to research. It is important to determine what influence they have on the final perception of the work, and to what extent they may falsify or tamper with it. The information on the painting’s structure does not always directly influence the interpretation of its humanistic character, however it does have a crucial meaning in explaining what means were used in order to obtain a concrete artistic expression of the work of art. Moreover, it allows to understand how the individual elements, sometimes of little importance as it may seem, co-create its complicated nature and by what technological process accompanies it.
