A Methodological Approach to Interpreting Deformations in Panel Paintings Using Reduced-Order Hygro-Mechanical Modeling
Panel paintings respond to environmental change in ways that depend on the individual object. Environmental monitoring is routine, but climatic standards do not provide a quantitative, object-specific criterion for deciding whether an observed deformation is mechanically significant. We present an open, modular pipeline—a sequence of independent, replaceable modules in which the output of each feeds the next—that converts environmental and deform…
Combining engineering and wood science for the conservation of artworks
Since 2004, the wooden support of Mona Lisa has been studied by an international research team formed by specialists of wood science and optical measurements, interacting closely with curators and restorers, to evaluate the climatic specifications adopted for the then new climate-controlled display case, assess the risk of propagation of a historical crack affecting the Panel, suggest possible improvements to the Panel’s framing, and improve the …
An Innovative Method Based on In Situ Deformometric Monitoring to Support Decisions for the Structural Restoration of a Historic Panel Painting
This paper describes an innovative method developed by the authors to support basic decisions concerning the structural restoration of a large historical panel painting which had been damaged by inappropriate attachment to a wall and ongoing exposure to severe changes in environmental humidity. The Lapidazione di Santo Stefano is a large panel (2.78 × 3.92 m2) painted by Giorgio Vasari in 1571 and has been housed since then in the Church of Santo…
Coupling numerical and experimental methods to characterise the mechanical behaviour of the Mona Lisa
Hygromechanical study of a 16th century painted wooden panel
A method to assess the hygro-mechanical behaviour of original panel paintings, through in situ non-invasive continuous monitoring, to improve their conservation
Experimental study of the hygromechanical behaviour of a historic painting on wooden panel
Strains in gesso on painted wood panels during humidity changes and cupping
Measurement and modelling of mass and dimensional variations of historic violins subjected to thermo-hygrometric variations
Drying shrinkage and mechanical properties of poplar wood (Populus alba L.) across the grain
Mechanical study of a support system for cupping control of panel paintings combining crossbars and springs
The Deformometric Kit
Mechanical response of wooden boards subjected to humidity step variations
Mechanical response of wooden boards subjected to humidity step variations
