Terahertz (THz) spectroscopy and THz imaging techniques are expected to have great potential for carrying out the non-invasive analysis of artworks. THz waves can penetrate opaque materials and they can perform three-dimensional material mapping non-destructively by spectroscopic imaging. Several attempts have been made to analyse artworks. Clear results, such as imaging of hidden art by using model paintings, have been obtained by many institutions. We succeeded to observe the first ever non-invasive cross-sectional image of a tempera masterpiece by Giotto. These results prove that THz technology can yield useful information in art conservation science. (C) 2010 Academie des sciences. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
