The abstract should summarize the contents of the paper in short terms, i.e. 150–250 words. Multi-spectral imaging (MSI) is today a commonplace tool in the diagnosis of painted artworks. Instrumentation is becoming more accessible with a wide variety of custom and commercial equipment available. Obtained spectral data can be interpreted to provide...

Spectral imaging technology has always been a great analytical technique for the study and documentation of painted works of art, especially paintings. Although the results are very promising, this technology is only available in large laboratories and is applied specifically to expensive artworks. This is because of the high technical knowhow and...

Toda e qualquer área do conhecimento, não é, por si só, independente no que concerne à sua completa atuação. Desta noção, a conservação e restauro, não se afasta. Exemplo disso são as constantes provas que nos chegam todos os dias através das redes sociais, com o trabalho da comunicação digital, que em parceria com a conservação e restauro, dissemi...

The theme of this thesis is Preservation of Graphics Document applied to the typology of books as an physical unit that aggregates different materials (paper, parchment, papyrus, leather,...), technics (manuscript, printed, engraving,...) and origins (plant, animal, miscellaneous,...). The exercise of Preservation, Conservation and/or Restoration s...

Knowing that light sources are often one of the most damaging factors for artworks degradation, we proposed, to monitoring the conservation state of the sculptures using the multispectral imaging (MSI). As results, we were able to trace the behavior of the varnish layer between 360 and 1100 nm, in situ, without any conflict with the religious cerem...
