Abstract

Infra-red reflectography, a method of improving the detectability of underdrawings in medieval paintings, is discussed. It is shown that the results can be explained with the Kubelka-Munk analysis of the optical properties of paint films. Measurements are described providing a plot of the paint layer thickness required to hide an underdrawing, against the wavelength.Such curves show a maximum around λ = 2.0 microns. Infra-red to visible image translation systems are surveyed to illustrate the choice of an infra-red vidicon television system to obtain reflectograms. This system is responsive to radiation up to 1.9 microns. The interpretation of infra-red reflectograms is briefly discussed. Limitations of the method are indicated.
