    Maarten van Bommel is Professor of Conservation Science at the Faculty of Humanities and the Faculty of Science. He is chair of the section Restoration and Conservation of Cultural Heritage (Department of Arts & Culture). In addition, he is a member of the Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Science. Van Bommel's is a member of the Scientific Working Group of the Netherlands Institute for Conservation, Art and Science (NICAS), in which the Rijksmuseum, the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands, Delft University of Technology and the UvA are clustering their strengths. Furthermore, he is a member of the board of the Foundation for the Conservation of Contemporary Art (In Dutch SBMK: Stichting Beheer Moderne Kunst)

    Maarten van Bommel mainly focuses on the characterisation and behaviour of dyes and organic pigments, both of natural and synthetic origin, and their application in moveable cultural heritage. The research entails chemical analysis, the study of historical sources, the production of reconstructions and the study of degradation mechanisms. Degradation research aims to develop new technology such as in the TooCOLD project, Toolbox for Studying the Light-induced Degradation (TTW 15506). The ultimate aim is to obtain a better understanding of the original appearance of artistic and cultural objects so that they may be placed in their historical context and presented accordingly. In addition, van Bommel was involved in several projects related to archaeological textiles, varying from Bronze Age and Iron Age, found in the Hallstatt area, Austria, and 17th-century textiles found in a shipwreck near Texel, the Netherlands.

    Van Bommel is also engaged in the scientific study of conservation and restoration practices, taking both a theoretical and applied approach. As the appointment is to both the Faculty of Humanities and the Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences (HIMS - Faculty of Science), it builds a bridge between art and culture studies on the one hand, and sciences on the other - two disciplines of equal and significant importance to restorers. Van Bommel has been employed as a senior scientist at the Cultural Heritage Agency since 2011. He worked previously as a programme leader and senior researcher for the Netherlands Institute for Cultural Heritage, whose work includes managing the Dutch State’s art collection. Van Bommel has published numerous articles. The books he has co-authored include Inside Out Victory Boogie Woogie; a Material History of Mondrian’s Masterpiece (Amsterdam University Press, 2012) and Natural Colorants for Dyeing and Lake Pigments (Archetype books, 2014).
