Abstract

Over the past two decades, terahertz (THz) technology has gained in importance and visibility as an emerging technique to be applied in a variety of fields. Since 2006, noninvasive THz time domain spectroscopy (TDS) imaging technology has been proposed for the study of artworks. When applied to panel paintings, THz-TDS imaging makes it possible to fill in the information gap on these artworks between two diagnostic imaging techniques, namely IR reflectography and X-ray radiography, because it provides useful data on the internal physical structure of non-metallic objects without touching the artworks investigated. The resulting noninvasive cross-section image of the object is acquired by extracting the reflected pulse from a particular interface of two media that have different refractive indexes. In this paper, we used a portable THz-TDS imaging system to acquire THz images on a laboratory panel painting and on two artworks, namely the Badia Polyptych (c. 1300-1) by Giotto di Bondone in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence and the San Giovenale Triptych (1422) by Masaccio in the Masaccio Museum at the Pieve (Parish Church) of San Pietro at Cascia di Reggello, near Florence. This was the first application of THz-TDS on masterpieces that is part of conservation - restoration projects focussed on acquiring data on the materials and techniques used by the artists and the state of conservation of the paintings, as well as on testing the potentials of an application of the new emerging THz-TDS imaging technique for the art conservation field. In particular, the data acquired noninvasively on the panel paintings provided useful information on the internal structure of the paintings and on their conditions, as well as a tentative chemical composition of the works or some of their parts. Lastly, this paper offers some basic information on the application of the THz-TDS imaging technique to panel paintings. (literal)
