Josef Albers' Structural Constellations series, created between 1948 and 1966, represents a pioneering exploration of plastic laminates as an artistic medium. Leveraging the unique properties these materials, including their smooth surfaces, vibrant coloration, precision in router engraving, Albers machine-engraved works featuring intricate geometric compositions. This study combines archival research with scientific analysis to examine over fifty artworks samples from Anni Foundation...
This paper discusses the use of a small ultraportable hyperspectral camera in VIS-NIR (Visible-Near Infrared) range for archaeological fieldwork and its hardware, data processing workflows, spectral information that can be used situ screening. Hyperspectral imaging is widespread, non-destructive analytical technique various disciplines highlighting invisible patterns mapping signatures selected targets. In archaeology, it has mostly been applied remote sensing satellite imagery to uncover...
Abstract Aubusson (France) has been inscribed on the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage Humanity by UNESCO since 2009 for its centuries‐old tradition art tapestry. The present study concerns one these “ Grand teint ” tapestries, a Verdure with Count von Brühl's coat arms (18th C.), characterized very high‐quality dyeing and fine weaving. restoration in progress allowed removal lining back, which protected colour from light. Hyperspectral imagery μ‐spectrofluorimetry made each side tapestry...
X‐ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis is a powerful approach to discriminate iron‐gall inks from different inscriptions. The representativeness of spot measurements though often impaired by the material history and conservation state historical artefacts bearing such method proposed here, using XRF scanner, not only improved readability inscriptions, thanks enhanced contrast offered chemical maps, but also allowed evaluation iron, copper zinc contents inks, optimised selection in MA‐XRF maps...
Abstract A key issue in understanding artefacts from the past is loss of readability signs they may have borne. The two 16th-century musical instruments studied here—rare Italian violins made by Andrea Amati ( c. 1505-1577) Cremona—bear remains painted heraldic emblems, which are barely legible and thus remained undeciphered until today. They exemplary representatives this research question, indeed combining various types losses, widely encountered on archaeological artefacts: now incomplete...
