Abstract

The tremendous growth of technology, aims to serve human and scientific methods, which serve the analysis of the study of our cultural heritage. Initially, most techniques developed, applied to different fields of the cultural heritage, however along the way it was observed that they serve in the analysis of works of art. Such techniques are Raman spectroscopy (Raman spectroscopy) and X-ray Florescence (XRF). In this thesis, we present the study of these techniques on a portable icon of Michael Damaskinos of the Cretan School of the 16th century. Specifically, a study will be conducted on the chemical composition and pigment detection of qualitative and quantitative data in a portable picture of Michael Damaskinos of the Cretan School of the 16th century. The object of this study, is associated with P.G.C. (Post Graduate Course) as it includes innovative applications of automation technologies. The study will cover the gap in the literature of icons and inferences will be made on the use of Raman Spectroscopy and XRF.
