In art, craquelure is the fine pattern of cracks formed on old paintings. It is
sometimes used to detect forged art, as craquelure is a hard-to-forge signature of authenticity.
The precise pattern of craquelure depends upon where the picture was painted. There appear
to be distinct French, Italian and Dutch "styles" of craquelure.
Craquelure can furnish a record of the environmental conditions the painting has experienced
during its lifetime, and also can reveal details about the painting's history of handling,
transportation, and restoration.

ARTIST INFO
Francis Wheatley (1747 - June 28, 1801), was an English portrait and landscape painter,
was born at Wild Court, Covent Garden, London. He studied at William Shipley's drawing
school and the Royal Academy, and won several prizes from the Society of Arts. He assisted
in the decoration of Vauxhall, and aided John Hamilton Mortimer in painting a ceiling for
Lord Melbourne at Brocket Hall in Hertfordshire.
In his youth, his life was irregular and dissipated. He eloped to Ireland with the wife of
Gresse, a brother artist, and established himself in Dublin as a portrait-painter, executing,
among other works, an interior of the Irish House of Commons. His scene from the Gordon Riots
of 1780 was engraved by Heath. He painted several subjects for Boydell's Shakespeare Gallery,
designed illustrations to Bell's edition of the poets, and practised to some small extent as
an etcher and mezzotint-engraver. It is, however, as a painter, in both oil and water-color,
of landscapes and rustic subjects that Wheatley is best remembered. He was elected an associate
of the Royal Academy in 1790, and an academician in the following year. His wife, as Mrs Pope
after his death, was known as a painter of flowers and portraits.
