Razumov Posted November 20, 2018 #10 Share Posted November 20, 2018 https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0185149 The apse mosaic of the Transfiguration scene from St. Catherine monastery in Sinai VIL image of the southern apse and the painted area. The VIL imaging of the upper part of the apse reveals very substantial details that are invisible to the naked eye and have never been detected before. The numbers indicate the rays of light. The stone blocks contour was added in order to give a better orientation where the rays and figures are located in the apse . Superimposed image of the southern apse. This image shows a photograph of the entire painting combined with the VIL image with emphasized digital reconstruction of the outlines of the figures and the motifs. This combined image shows for the first time the invisible and visible details together and reveals the original composition of the scene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
