Abstract

The laser cleaning problem of gold leaf gilded surfaces was investigated here. Preliminary irradiation tests carried out on pure gold leaf standards evidenced the crucial importance of the laser pulse duration for avoiding serious damages. Optimised pulse duration providing good cleaning results with negligible side effects was then selected and successfully used in the restoration of three Renaissance masterpieces.
