(krăklo͝or`), hairline surface cracking of paintings into characteristic patterns determined by age, climatic conditions, and the materials used in the work.

Forgers and restorers often imitate craquelure to enhance the look of authenticity in their works.

Craquelure

in paintings, a cracking in the painted surface.

It occurs in dried paintings from repeated swellings, shrinkage, and mechanical influences.
