Digital Art: New Scanner at TerraNova
The TerraNova estate now has the ability to scan art collections in high quality, including graphics, paintings and even sculptural reliefs. The new Image Access WideTEK 36 ART-600 wide-format scanner allows you to transfer the smallest details and textures thanks to contactless technology and high resolution.

The scanner supports work with three-dimensional objects and is capable of accommodating several works in one scan. The process can be controlled remotely, which makes the work even more convenient. Digitization will help us preserve and present works of art in digital format, as well as use them in research, publications and virtual exhibitions.

Technology at the service of art
Modern digitalization technologies face a unique challenge when dealing with fragile works of art that require careful handling and the highest fidelity of reproduction. The WideTEK 36 ART-600 scanner combines design with a deep understanding of the needs of the museum community and reprographic services. This equipment redefines the standards of non-contact scanning, offering advanced capabilities for the preservation of cultural heritage.
The same scanner is used in the most famous galleries in the world. For example, in the Hermitage, 12,000 exhibits from the graphic collection were digitized in 6 months of continuous operation using this model, including works by Rembrandt and Durer.
A particular advantage was demonstrated when scanning pastels, a traditionally problematic category due to the shedding of pigment. In the restoration workshops of the Louvre, the equipment is used to document conservation processes. The 3D scanning mode records the microrelief of the paint layer with an accuracy of up to 15 microns, creating the basis for predictive modeling of deformations.
Similar scanners are used in the National Gallery in London to digitize masterpieces of old masters, in the Metropolitan Museum in New York to work with large-format watercolors and textiles, and in the Tokyo National Museum to preserve traditional Japanese scrolls and ukiyo-e prints. At the Vasa Museum in Stockholm, they use it to digitize large ship plans, and at the New Jerusalem Museum near Moscow, they use it to digitize exhibits ranging from archaeological finds to paintings.
Stay tuned – we’ll soon tell you more about how this scanner helps our project!
