Multi-Technique Characterization of Antonio Basoli’s Picturesque Views of Bologna: An Integrated Approach to 19th-Century Graphic Heritage Conservation
Antonio Basoli’s one hundred Picturesque views of the city of Bologna (1824–1836) include 95 preparatory drawings, 16 of which were executed on oil-impregnated lightweight paper now showing advanced degradation. This study aims to investigate the materials and techniques used by Basoli’s workshop and to develop an evidence-based conservation approach for these fragile works. An integrated analytical methodology combining non-invasive hyperspectra…
Micro-Multiband Imaging (μMBI) in the Technical Study and Condition Assessment of Paintings: An Insight into Its Potential and Limitations
Multiband imaging (MBI) is a non-invasive, portable digital technique that has become increasingly widespread in the technical study and condition assessment of paintings, owing to its affordability and ease of use. This paper presents an experimental study aimed at optimising MBI at the microscopic scale—referred to as micro-multiband imaging (μMBI)—with the particular aim of expanding its diagnostic capabilities. A range of μMBI techniques was …
Study of Medieval Artistic Stained Windows: The Case of the Rose Window of Sant’Ambrogio Chapel in the Basilica of San Petronio in Bologna—Italy
Within the framework of an extensive conservation project involving multiple stained-glass windows of the Basilica of San Petronio in Bologna, Italy, this study reports the results of the diagnostic campaign on the rose window depicting Sant’Ambrogio between two angels holding the coats of arms of the Marsili family. The rose window is located in the homonymous chapel and, based on recent studies attributing the cartoon to the Bolognese painter B…
The Non-Invasive Spectroscopic Study of a Parchment Object from the National Central Library of Florence: The Hebrew Scroll
The Hebrew Scroll, catalogued as Magliabekian Manuscript III 43 and belonging to the National Central Library of Florence (BNCF), is a membranous richly decorated scroll, with colorful depictions of sacred sites through the Holy Land to Lebanon along with handwritten texts in Hebrew and notes in Italian. Despite the fact that the manuscript was originally catalogued as an “object of no artistic or scientific value”, recent paleographic studies da…
The man who became a Blue Glass. Reflectance hyperspectral imaging discloses a hidden Picasso painting of the Blue period
Evaluation of the efficacy and durability of the “barium hydroxide method” after 40 years. Multi-analytical survey on the Crocifissione by Beato Angelico
A fast non-invasive method for preliminary authentication of mediaeval glass enamels using UV–visible–NIR diffuse reflectance spectrophotometry
Multi-technical approach for the characterization of polychrome decorative surfaces at Spanish Mission Churches in Nueva Vizcaya (Chihuahua, Mexico)
An interdisciplinary and multi-institutional group of science and art conservation specialists has provided new insight into the painting materials used in the polychrome walls and wooden ceilings in four seventeenth century Spanish colonial churches of Nueva Vizcaya (Chihuahua, Mexico). A multi-analytical study of the decorative surfaces was performed in situ using spectroscopic approaches (XRF, FORS), False Colour Infrared Reflectography – IRFC…
Elucidating the composition and the state of conservation of nitrocellulose-based animation cells by means of non-invasive and micro-destructive techniques
An in situ non-invasive study of two Tibetan manuscripts from the Asian Collection of the Museum of Natural History in Florence
Anselm Kiefer: A Study of His Artistic Materials
Obtaining noninvasive stratigraphic details of panel paintings using terahertz time domain spectroscopy imaging system
Characterisation of colourants on illuminated manuscripts by portable fibre optic UV-visible-NIR reflectance spectrophotometry
The use of ultraviolet and visible diffuse reflectance spectrophotometry as a preliminary technique in the investigation of illuminated manuscripts is discussed. Because ancient manuscripts are amongst the most fragile and precious artworks, characterisation of the materials used in their decoration should be performed using non-invasive analytical methods. Ultraviolet and visible reflectance spectrophotometry with optical fibres (FORS) allows no…
