RT Journal Article T1 Chromatic perception of non-invasive lighting of cave paintings A1 Zoido Chamorro, Jesús Manuel A1 Vázquez Moliní, Daniel A1 Álvarez Fernández-Balbuena, Antonio A1 Bernabeu Martínez, Eusebio A1 García Botella, Ángel A1 Herráenz Ferreiro, Juan Antonio A1 Egido Rodríguez, Marian, del AB This work is intended to deal with the problems which arise when illuminanting Paleolithic cave paintings. We have carried out the spectral and colorimetric characterization of some paintings located in the Murcielagos (bats) cave (Zuheros, Córdoba, Spain). From this characterization, the chromatic changes produced under different lighting conditions are analysed. The damage function is also computed for the different illuminants used. From the results obtained, it is proposed an illuminant whose spectral distribution diminishes the damage by minimizing the absorption of radiation and optimises the color perception of the paintings in this cave. The procedure followed in this study can be applied to optimise the lighting systems used when illuminating any other art work.
