Abstract

Physical and chemical environmental changes have for a long time been the source of concern for art connoisseurs and artists alike. This article discusses the role of Raman Spectroscopy in minimizing the deterioration of art works by environmental factors. The article covers the various techniques involved in Raman Spectroscopy and their role in determining the materials and objects used in the art work, as well as distinguishing colors and hues, and the verification of damages and defects. Being non-destructive Raman Spectroscopy can be of utmost importance in conducting research on painting.
