A scanning device for wide band infrared
reflectography
The underdrawing is a guideline for the artist to make the subject of
painting. It can be only sketched or very fine, rich of details and shading,
sometimes even using "chiaroscuro". Therefore, the underdrawing becomes
an artwork itself, evidence of the artis t's creative process, destined to
remain hidden forever, but in some cases, again visible using the imaging
technique known as infrared reflectography. The research group of the
Archaeometry Laboratory, at Department of Physics and Earth Science of
University of Ferrara, studies the pictorial artworks through a non-invasive
approach. To this purpose an image diagnostics protocol has been defined
also using instruments and devices specifically designed and developed.
This work is focused on the development of a scanning device for wide
band IR reflectography.
