In this paper, we report on Vis-IR hyperspectral and terahertz imaging investigations carried out on a fresco painting on tavella depicting St. John Baptist, by Alessandro Gherardini (1655-1726). Measurements took place at the Restoration Laboratories of the former "Polo Museale della Toscana," in Florence, in the framework of the Italy-Japan collaborative project THz-ARTE. We show how the hyperspectral data made it possible to determine the state-of-conservation of Gherardini's painting, while reflection imaging measurements performed at 97 GHz provided a qualitative evaluation of the position of defects inside the tavella.

Abstract

In this paper, we report on Vis-IR hyperspectral and terahertz imaging investigations carried out on a fresco painting on tavella depicting St. John Baptist, by Alessandro Gherardini (1655-1726). Measurements took place at the Restoration Laboratories of the former "Polo Museale della Toscana," in Florence, in the framework of the Italy-Japan collaborative project THz-ARTE. We show how the hyperspectral data made it possible to determine the state-of-conservation of Gherardini's painting, while reflection imaging measurements performed at 97 GHz provided a qualitative evaluation of the position of defects inside the tavella.
