Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Non-invasive imaging and analytical techniques have been widely applied to the field of Cultural Heritage, most notably in paintings. This approach has built an evergrowing knowledge of the materials used by the artists to create their work, as well as a deeper understanding about the degradation mechanisms involved in the ageing process. However, this analytical perspective is often disconnected from the fundamental role of technique in creating the stylistic and optical effects that are responsible for the originality and style of each artwork and/or artist. This vision will be part of this Special Issue, in which integrated studies that bridge the analytical and technical aspects of an artwork are welcomed.
