Abstract

This article describes the application of a measurement system in the field of cultural heritage conservation, and, in particular, to a canvas painting applied on a wooden support. The artwork is placed inside a niche in the Monastero of Santa Caterina in Palermo (Italy). It is a historical painting by the painter Giuseppe Patricolo depicting the Deposition. Considering the presence of the wooden structure, it is important to measure mechanical vibrations that can in fact cause degradation phenomena in wooden structures. The main objective of the presented research is the characterization and observation of the performance of the measurement and monitoring system for assessing the health condition of artworks.
