Proceeding Book of 12th European Symposium on Religious art, Restoration & Conservation
Fundamental contribution to filling out the condition reports of the work of arts involved in temporary exhibitions is provided by non-invasive investigation techniques. Investigation, carried out before and after the movement, allow to collect objective data to monitoring the surface or structural alterations and defining the state of conservation, representing an important moment of deepening of knowledge. Generally, these aspects often are left to photographic documentation and observations by conservators and curators. An example of good practice is represented by the case of the Saint Gregory Polyptych (Antonello da Messina, 1473) belonging to the Regional Museum of Messina (Italy). Th…
Spectroscopy for the characterization of materials and cultural heritage
The use of radiation or of particles as probes to investigate the matter by spectroscopic techniques is one of the main ways followed by researchers to define its structure and properties. Furthermore, there are several mechanisms of interaction able to provide indirect information about composition, bonds, and interactions, which describe the state of the system under investigation by proposing a proper model. For this reason, Spectroscopy can be considered a powerful tool for the study of materials by the characterization of the features influencing the properties. In the last years, the application fields of spectroscopic techniques was extended from synthetic materials also to the study…
