Article Synopsis
- - The paper discusses a study using new non-destructive techniques — unilateral nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and evanescent-field dielectrometry (EFD) — to measure moisture distribution in an ancient wall painting from the 11th century.
- - This study took place in a hypogeous location (subterranean) like the St. Clement Basilica in Rome, where traditional moisture measurement methods are limited, allowing for the mapping of moisture at various depths without harming the artwork.
- - The analysis aids in understanding how environmental conditions impact moisture in wall paintings, which can guide restoration efforts by monitoring the effectiveness of interventions made to reduce dampness and improve conservation.
