Conservators
have a key function in the preservation of the cultural heritage.
Today there are various tools and instruments available to the
conservator in order to analyze and assess the status of the
object in question.
Paintings are made by specific characteristics. A painting,
while it is an artistic expression, is also a composition of
different materials all interacting with each other, as well as
the environment surrounding it. Paintings are affected by
humidity, climatic change, micro organisms and pollutants.
Ateljé Catellani is specialized in the field of classical
paintings, European paintings between 15th to 19th centuries and
holds a specific expertise of the Italian renaissance.
In
order to research the specific characteristics and condition of
a painting , Ateljé Catellani uses different methods of analysis
including x-rays , cross section infrared and ultraviolet light.
