Keywords: X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), Works of art, Pigments, Metallic elements, Museum, Conservation, Non-invasive analysis, RestorationAbstract
Annotation: This article analyzes the importance of X-ray fluorescence
spectroscopy (XRF) in museum practice for the study and conservation of works of art.
XRF is an advanced method that allows for the non-invasive detection of pigments,
metal elements, and other chemical components, and is an important tool for verifying
the authenticity of works of art, planning restoration, and conservation processes. The
article discusses the application of XRF technology in museum practice, the impact of
pigment identification, metal content study, and conservation processes. This research
will help protect works of art and allow museum conservators to make scientifically
sound decisions.
