The Penghu or Pescadores Islands are an archipelago of 90 islands and islets in the Taiwan Strait. The average temperature in July and August is around 32°C; the average temperature in January and February is around 15°C. The yearly relative humidity is between 80–86%. The“Wall Panel of Chu Si-Kan”is located in an historic house belonging to the Chen Family in Shagang Village, Huxi Township, Penghu County. The wall panels have specific historical, cultural and regional values in Taiwan, and as such were registered as recognised antiquities by the Cultural Bureau of the Penghu County Government in August 2015. As the decorative artist of Penghu’s Tianhou Temple, Chu Si-Kan was responsible for numerous art works in both painting and calligraphy. This study focuses on the preventive conservation of artifacts. Due to the severely damaged original wooden architecture, conservation of wooden painted panel was extremely challenging. As a result, infrared thermography imaging was used for the evaluation of condition and to identify environmental sources of deterioration which might further damage the panel. Because the original environment was considered detrimental to the conservation of the painted panel, it has been moved to a temporary facility while the original structure in under renovation. The panel will be returned to their original location once the architectural restoration is completed. |
