Unveiling street art: A multimodal and multitechnique approach for analyzing and mapping painting materials on large murals.

ABSTRACT: Street art murals are increasingly recognized as valuable contemporary artworks, often attaining significant artistic, historical, and social importance. As these murals become integral parts of cultural heritage, finding efficient strategies for their conservation is crucial. However, their typical large surface areas, heterogeneous materials, and high variability in exposure to environmental and pollution factors pose significant challenges in establishing appropriate analytical strategies to obtain the necessary information. This study proposes a multiscale and multitechnique noninvasive approach to investigate and monitor street art murals in situ. By combining portable point techniques-such as external reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, visible, ne
