In a art history dissertation. Section describing the attributional issues surrounding a 15th century Italian renaissance painting. This sentence, which is not part of my translation, describes the meaning of the word, but what is the English term please?
Einen schwierigen Teil der Händescheidung, also der Beurteilung dessen, welcher Künstler was in das Bild einbrachte, hat die Rückseite der Forschung also schon abgenommen.
TIA for any help
