Resumo

El presente artículo versa sobre el uso de la fotografía infrarroja transmitida (IRT), una técnica todavía muy desconocida, pese a que paradójicamente aporta una información fundamental en el estudio y documentación de las pinturas sobre lienzo. A diferencia de la fotografía infrarroja (IR), esta técnica opera por transmisión y no por reflexión, por lo ofrece imágenes transversales de todos los estratos de la obra. Fundamentalmente arroja evidencias sobre el diseño y la composición, visibilizando sus cambios; el método de ejecución empleado; pesquisas sobre los materiales; y evidencias del estado de conservación, pudiendo considerarse una de las técnicas más ricas de imagen multi-banda; procedimiento que además puede realizarse con escasa inversión. El objetivo de este artículo es darla a conocer para fomentar su uso entre conservadores e investigadores, así como mostrar ejemplos de sus aportaciones, ofreciendo claves de lectura para su correcta interpretación.
