Webinar - Multispectral imaging analysis in cultural heritage: The Hexham Abbey panel case, with reference to future AI data validation.

Charis Theodorakopoulos's webinar is coordinated by Northumbria University and XpectralTEK LDA.

The focus of this webinar will be the identification of a panel painting discovered in a back room of Hexham Abbey. The surface was covered over and due to multispectral imaging, it was discovered that this was part of the mediaeval 'Dance of Death' series.

In February 2017, the panel bearing a dark and heavily discoloured image was discovered languishing in a corner of the triforium of the Abbey, having been missing since the 1990’s. The panel, in very poor condition, is believed to be part of the Abbey’s 'Dance of Death' panel painting series – perhaps with many others now lost – and represents a ‘caller’ or ‘commentator’ for the sequence.
