Photography device
Hasselblad (H4D-60 & H6D-100), IR filter removed, lenses IR corrected
Lighting flash, tube UV, halogene IR Filters to select nm range UV/VIS/IR
Photography - visible - raking light
-> register state of art of color and surface
Photography visible light
Color calibration with Phocus during acquisition Reproduction mode, working Hasselblad, export Adobe
Raking light
Anonyme XVIIIè s. – Panneau de paravent – peinture sur satin de soie – Archives nationales - C2RMF, E.Lambert
Photography UV induced fluorescence in visible range
-> organic material localisation (varnish, glue, wax…) -> pigment identification
Target UV from UV innovation
Spectralon for uniformisation from IR to UV
Register in visible (filter 2 E anti UV)
Fluorescence UV
Visible / UV induced fluorescence
Ecole de Tours XVe s, « Vierge en prière », musée des Beaux Arts de Tours
Varnish
Giampetrino «Le suicide de Cléopâtre» - Musée du Louvre - photographie en cours de restauration – C2RMF, E.Lambert
Pigment characteristic fluorescence
LD Fluorescence UV
SASSETTA – Polyptyque de Borgo San Sepolcro « Saint Jean l’Evangéliste » - Musée du Louvre – C2RMF, E.Lambert
Photography Visible induced fluorescence in IR domain
-> detect Han blue and Egyptian blue Light at 610 nm (LED), reemmission at 960 nm (IR)
Photography Reflexion in IR -> carbon under drawing -> pigment identification

RUBY de STIL
■380 à 930 nm VIS-PIR ■Résolution 1 nm ■Rétrodiffusion ■Lampe halogène ■Spot réglable de 1mm, 3, 5, 8 mm ■Distance 7,5 cm
■angle réglable / main ■Angle sur pied 22° ■Logiciel STIL
Final data set
-> digital images with ICC profile (good accuracy but not perfect) -> printed images (Epson 4000) (average dE 5)
-> report given to chemist and conservators -> report and images registered on art work folder (digital and paper until recently)
