Reflectance Spectroscopy is a powerful method for pigments identification even for works of art on paper. We just delivered on Oct 24th a full day Training and a Gorgias Spectrometer system to the Paper Conservation Department of the National Archives of the Netherlands in The Hague. Read and learn more about Reflectance Spectroscopy and our
We just performed a diagnostics service for a statue of St. Elijah, in Comiso, Sicily. This is a good opportunity for our art conservation community to review technical photography, spectroscopy, and other tools for the documentation of antique statues, a preparatory examination for the conservation treatment which is undertaken by the Conservation Studio Tiziana Cilia
How to identify and map covered paints on translucent support, such as canvases? We just published: A. Cosentino “Transmittance spectroscopy and transmitted multispectral imaging to map covered paints” Conservar Património 24, 37-45, 2016. doi:10.14568/cp2015021 Transmitted spectroscopy and transmitted multispectral imaging in the 400-900 nm range have been applied for the mapping and tentatively identification of
This new paper is a valid example of the application of non‐invasive imaging methods (technical photography and multispectral imaging) before and after the conservation treatment of a work of art.
Just published new paper DOWNLOAD NOW Pigments Checker is a collection of swatches of historical pigments that offers art professionals, conservation scientists, conservators and fine art photographers, a tool to evaluate and test their imaging and spectroscopic methodologies for pigment identification.
