[AI Summary]: Sjors Nab won the 2025 Humanities RMA Thesis Prize at Utrecht University for his technical art-historical research on the Master of the Legend of Saint Lucy, a fifteenth-century Flemish painter. His research systematically analyzed seventy paintings using infrared and X-ray imaging to examine the painter’s creative process layer by layer. Nab’s innovative approach demonstrates how existing imaging materials can be systematically brought together to achieve significant research results without requiring expensive new technology. He found that the Lucia Master followed a refined process of gradual improvement across layers, showing continuous small inventive adjustments rather than mere copying. Nab will work as lab manager at Utrecht University’s ArtLab, collaborating with museums and heritage institutions on research questions.
