A concise insight into the outputs provided by latest prototype of visible-near infrared (Vis-NIR) multispectral scanner (National Research Council-National Institute Optics, CNR-INO, Italy) is presented. The analytical data acquired on an oil painting Madonna Rabbit É. Manet are described. In this work, Vis-NIR was complemented with X-ray fluorescence (XRF) mapping for chemical and spatial characterization several pigments. spatially registered facilitated their processing spectral correlation (SCM) artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm, respectively, pigment improved visibility pentimenti underdrawing style. key elements comparison a homonymous original work Titian studied within ARCHive LABoratory (ARCHLAB) transnational access project.
