Abstract
Through complementary non-invasive techniques, a preliminary imaging and analytical diagnostic assessment was made on two mural paintings. The documentation was made in half a day, and serves as the first scientific documentation of the state of conservation of the fresco mural paintings in the Catacombs. Imaging was completed in the IR, VIS, and UV bands; and x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy analysis was carried out using the Tracer III-SD handheld XRF (Bruker). The purpose of the study was to document and evaluate the frescoes for signs of aging and deterioration, as well as, to characterize the materials present in the pigments that were used. Additionally, the various layers of the frescoes were documented in 3D using Structure from Motion (SfM) and Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI).
