Abstract
Light is fundamental in architectural design: spaces and objects perception is strictly influenced by luminous scenarios. This is especially true as regards museums applications. In these cases, lighting is essential to assure the complete perception of colours and shapes of artworks, guaranteeing visual comfort conditions. A reproduction of museum installation was set in the Laboratory of Photometry and Lighting at the Department of Industrial Engineering of University of Study of Naples “Federico II” and two different paintings were lit by four light scenes. Then tests on subjects were carried out, in order to investigate human preferences about artworks lighting; results are reported in this paper.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
