Many owners of a work of art have a vivid interest in the artist, the subject depicted and the period in which the object was produced. Why not explore this curiosity?  For knowledge about the history and possible previous owners of an artwork, as well as any other new facts can greatly increase both the art-historical and economic value of an artwork. Research is the best way to find out more!

Next to the famous and well-known masters of the Dutch Golden Age there was a tremendous number of high quality painters working in every thinkable genre of fine art painting. It is among those artists and works of arts that there are still many discoveries to be made and beautiful art objects to be found.

It is in this particular field that Bazuin & de Blécourt Fine Art Research offers its specialised services in research and consultancy to private collectors, auction houses, art dealers and museums.

Bazuin & de Blécourt specialises in Dutch Old Master Paintings. Bazuin & de Blécourt looks forward to provide its services to owners and prospective owners of works of art.

Art historical research on Old Master Paintings can increase both the art historical value as well as the economical value. Bazuin & de Blécourt strongly believes in the value enhancing character of its research.

To illustrate this we have acquired several paintings ourselves on which we have conducted  art historical research. Some of those paintings – including the research reports – are for sale. In due course we will present these paintings in the new "Collection"  section of this website.
