A new RKD database for marks on paintings on panel and copper supports, carved altarpieces, sculpture, and furniture 1300-1700 will be developed. A wide diversity of marks is found on paintings on panel and copper supports, carved altarpieces, sculpture (wood and stone), and furniture. They comprise guild brands, quality stamps, copper and panel makers’ marks, master’s marks, so-called ‘Hausmarken’ (house marks), as well as positioning marks. These marks afford unique information about objects and their manufacture, transport, dating, places of production, artists, provenance etc., which is of fundamental importance for our knowledge and understanding of artworks and their production.

A database of all these marks could open up unprecedented research possibilities. To this end, the RKD and a team of international specialists and partners joined forces to develop a new and unique online database of a broad range of marks on artworks dating from 1300-1700, called: Marks on Art Database.
