“…Multispectral imaging was performed to reveal details about the painting surface (varnish, pigments, and presence of underdrawings) [32][33][34]. The system used was a Sam-sung NX500 Digital Camera 28 MPX (APS-CMOS BSI) designed by Madatec Srl to acquire images from different light sources.…”

A diagnostic analysis of the painting depicting San Patroba che predica ai fedeli di Pozzuoli by Massimo Stanzione was carried out. The painting was completed in 1635–1637 to decorate the choir of the Cathedral of Saint Procolo in Pozzuoli (Naples, Italy). The technique of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and multispectral imaging were applied on site to learn about the executive technique, the palette of the painting, and the restoration works, as well as understand the influence of the other painters active in Naples in that period. The results of the research are presented and discussed to draw general aspects and peculiarities of the pigments and the pictorial technique used by this important painter, as well as the restorations.

“…A commonly used analysis protocol involves the combined application of imaging techniques that profitably integrate different types of chemical information to analyse large areas of paintings without the need to sample. Elemental mapping by macro X-ray fluorescence (MA-XRF) is typically combined with reflectance imaging spectroscopy (RIS) [1,2]. MA-XRF produces elemental distribution maps of the analysed area [3,4].…”

Identifying a painting’s pigment palette is crucial for comprehending the author’s technique, as well as for evaluating the degradation of the materials. This paper investigates the stratigraphy and pigments distribution of a 16th-century painting from the Uffizi Galleries collection. Firstly, we obtained compositional information through the cross-sectional analysis of samples using scanning electron microscopy. Secondly, we performed elemental mapping using macro-X-ray fluorescence followed by reflectance imaging spectroscopy. The painting image cube was analysed using the spectral correlation mapping (SCM) classification algorithm to accurately identify the distribution and composition of the pigment mixtures.

“…Elemental information allows for the identification of pigments in artworks and contributes to their understanding [1]. Acquiring elemental distribution images is necessary as it provides representative information, as opposed to spot analysis [2].…”

The acquisition of elemental and chemical distribution images on the surface of cultural heritage objects has provided us new insights into our past. The techniques commonly employed, such as macroscopic X-ray fluorescence imaging (MA-XRF), in general require pointwise or whisk-broom scanning of an object under constant measurement geometry for optimal results. Most scanners in this field use stacked linear motorized stages, which are a proven solution for 2D sample positioning. Instead of these serial systems, we propose the use of a parallel cable robot to position the measurement head relative to the object investigated. In this article, we illustrate the significance of the issue and present our own cable robot prototype and test its capabilities, but also discuss the current shortcomings of the concept. With this, we demonstrate the potential of cable robots as platforms for MA-XRF and similar imaging techniques.
