Advanced investigation of the Book of the Dead of Kha at the Museo Egizio of Turin: A Molab E-Rihs in-situ study
Lab-based Xanes spectroscopy for chemical and structural characterization of pigments in cultural heritage science
Novel mobile 3D confocal X-ray fluorescence (3D CXRF) scanner for the non-invasive characterization of layered cultural heritage artworks
Novel, vacuum-free, mobile 3D Confocal XRF scanner for non-invasive heritage studies. • Fast 3D volumetric elemental imaging with dwell times down to 200 ms. • Validated on standards, mock-ups, and four heritage objects. • Unlocks in situ non-invasive depth-resolved 3D CXRF in cultural heritage. The study of cultural heritage artworks presenting a complex stratigraphy traditionally relies on invasive cross-sectional analyses involving microsampli…
Unveiling hidden text: Advanced X-ray fluorescence imaging of severely damaged manuscript folios from MS Turin, BNU, L.II.14 (T)
This study explores the application of the non-destructive X-ray fluorescence imaging technique (μ-XRF) on severely damaged pages of the medieval manuscript L.II.14 (T), housed in the Biblioteca Nazionale Universitaria di Torino (BNU). Following severe damage caused by the fire of 1904, the manuscript presents notable challenges for legibility and conservation. The use of the high-sensitivity and high-lateral resolution mobile μ-XRF scanning syst…
Raphael seen through MA-XRF: Understanding the master and his atelier by studying the Capodimonte collection
Artworks in the Capodimonte collection trace Raphael’s career and technical progress. • High-res MA-XRF scanning redefines the master’s distinctive material features. • The study clarifies if the workshop imitated/diverged from the master’s style. • Chemical data reveal Raphael’s experimentation in attributed workshop paintings. Raphael’s paintings in the Capodimonte collection, ‘Museo e Real Bosco di Capodimonte’ in Naples, offer the opportunity…
Studying ancient Egyptian copper-alloy objects via X-ray diffraction and Machine Learning
Naples Yellow Revisited: Insights into Trades and Use in 17th-Century Sicily from the Macro X-ray Fluorescence Scanning of Matthias Stomer’s ‘The Mocking of Christ’
In a recent non-destructive analytical campaign at Museo Civico, Castello Ursino, in Catania, Italy, several paintings in the permanent collection were investigated by MA-XRF scanning, with a special focus on Matthias Stomer’s production. On one depiction of the Mocking of Christ (ca. 1640) donated to the municipality of Catania by G.B. Finocchiaro in 1826, the analysis documented the use of Naples yellow. Sb with Pb was detected in yellow areas …
Unraveling the mummy's shroud: A multi-analytical study of a rare painted textile from Roman Egypt
The northern-Italy Renaissance in a panel by Defendente Ferrari: A complete study with a multi-analytical investigation
MA-XRF and XRD analysis revealing a polychrome Centuripe vase
On the Titian's self-portrait mentioned by Vasari with technical analysis of an anonymous painting
Macroscopic XRF imaging in unravelling polychromy on Mycenaean wall-paintings from the Palace of Nestor at Pylos
Determining old Chinese non-circulating paper money’s authenticity using μ-Raman and MA-XRF spectroscopies
The “lost art” of Archaic Greek painting: Revealing new evidence on the Pitsa pinakes through MA-XRF and imaging techniques
In the present work, four wooden panels dated to the second half of the 6th century B.C., discovered in 1934 inside a cave located in Corinthia near the ancient city of Sicyon, are examined. The “Pitsa pinakes” are the oldest known examples of panel painting in ancient Greece. The application of non-invasive and non-contact imaging and analytical techniques (imaging techniques, including infrared-reflected and visible-induced luminescence, micros…
Archaeological Volcanic Glass From the Site of Rocchicella (Sicily, Italy)
The site of Rocchicella, near Catania, in eastern Sicily, has yielded important archaeological evidence from prehistoric times to the Middle Ages. Extensive archaeological investigations of cultural layers dating from the Palaeo‐Mesolithic to the Copper Age have recently been undertaken, and volcanic glass, mainly obsidian, has been collected in the course of excavation. To determine the provenance of this volcanic glass, a non‐destructive elemen…
La défense de Platon contre Aristote par les néoplatoniciens
Pour aborder le problème de la défense de Platon contre Aristote par les Néoplatoniciens, il est nécessaire d’opérer des distinctions à la fois historiques et théoriques ; il faut en effet tenir compte tant du développement chronologique de la pensée néoplatonicienne, que des différences pouvant exister d’une école néoplatonicienne à l’autre. Il semble, par exemple, que Jamblique et Proclus aient adopté des positions sensiblement divergentes sur …
Non-destructive characterization of Della Robbia sculptures at the Bargello museum in Florence by the combined use of Pixe and XRF portable systems
The Improved Lns Pixe‐Alpha Portable System: Archaeometric Applications
The possibilities presented by the improved portable PIXE system are discussed. Examples are given of applications in the cultural heritage field, and in particular in the characterization of pigments and silver patina on ancient Roman coins. The limitations of the system are also discussed
