Dry plate photographic negatives, introduced in the late 19th century, represent a turning point in the history of photography. However, their chemical complexity and fragile nature pose serious challenges for conservators. A recent study led by researchers from CNR-INO (Florence) and CSIC (Madrid), in collaboration with the Opificio delle Pietre Dure and the Museo Galileo, […]

A new scientific paper is out. The question is: How to approach long-term monitoring of chemical dynamics in oil paintings? Monitoring the condition of artworks over time helps us understand how they deteriorate, identify active decay, and evaluate conservation methods. However, this process is challenging both logistically and technically. To tackle the technical challenges, a […]
