Layer separation mapping and consolidation evaluation of a fifteenth century panel painting using terahertz time-domain imaging

Sumari:Over time, artworks often sustain paint layer separation and air gaps within their internal structure due to storage conditions and past restoration efforts. Because of this, paint layer consolidation interventions are an essential activity for art conservators. However, it is difficult to determine the exact location and the extent of layer separation on a piece of art in a non-invasive way, and even more difficult to evaluate the success of a consolidation intervention. In this work, a fifteenth-century wood panel painting was analyzed using terahertz time-domain imaging before and after it was consolidated. Using the terahertz data, it was possible to determine the areas on the artwork in need of consolidation and aid the intervention. The analysis of the after data allowed for the control and determination of the success of the consolidation effort in a non-destructive manner.
