Abstract: The Monza lighting method directly serves the audience and cultural relics research experts of the museum. Based on the theory of mirror neurons and neuro-aesthetics, it uses advanced LED lighting equipment and proprietary lighting methods to provide technical support for ancient oil painting appreciation.

Key words: Monza illumination method; mirror neuron; neuro-aesthetics; cool white light; warm white light


After researching and inventing the Monza Method for the appreciation of ancient paintings, with the support of the World Heritage Fund (WHF) and the European Lighting Design Convention (PLDC) , Italian lighting designers Francesco Iannone and Serena Tellini have been working to promote this proprietary technology in Europe and Singapore.

The significance of exploring the Monza lighting method lies in the five high-tech services in the "High-tech field catalogue (newest) supported by the state in 2017", (eight) cultural and creative industry supporting technology, and 3. cultural heritage discovery and reuse technology. Among them, it includes “support technology for cultural relics discovery, protection, restoration, identification and original identification”. There is no doubt that the Monza lighting method belongs to one of the above-mentioned supporting technologies, and its research and promotion have been supported by the state.

In June of this year, PLDC held the Monza Lighting Workstation (Workshop) and seminars at the Kunsthistorisches Museum (Vienna/Austria) for three days with the title "Immersive Art". The author was invited to participate in the work of the workstations, including the museum representatives of Germany, France, Singapore, the United States, South Korea, and Austria, cultural relics experts, university professors, and lighting designers. See Figures 1 and 2.

The work of the workstation is a practice of using the Monza lighting method to enhance the lighting of ancient paintings under the guidance of Francisco and Selena. Participants were divided into 8 working groups, and the lighting effects of 8 ancient paintings were improved. The author is in Group 3, and together with the Italian representative Dario Maccheroni, is responsible for the promotion of the Miracles of St. Francis in 1616 by Peter Paul Rubens. The lighting effect of St. Francis Xavier, Model) is shown in Figure 3. The operation report for the third group of workstations is shown in Annex 1.

The finale of Francisco and Selena at the seminar is shown in Figure 4. The topic of the speech is the Monza lighting method of invention. See Annex 2.

The Monza lighting method is based on the theory of mirror neurons and neuro-aesthetics, and aims to serve the audience and cultural relics experts in the museum. The key to implementing the Monza illumination method is to selectively project white light of different color temperatures and different luminous intensities from the bottom of the audience from the perspective of the audience to the ancient paintings. That is to say, before implementing the lighting, the lighting designer first analyzes the color and its distribution on the ancient picture that needs to be improved. Then, using the most advanced LED lighting equipment, choose different colors of warm white light (3000-3500K), neutral white light (4000-5500K) or cool white light (5500-7500K) for different areas of the screen; Light or concentrating; select the angle and area of ​​the placement; and select the luminescence intensity to be placed, etc., see Figure 5.

Due to the improvement of the lighting effect, the ancient paintings become bright and vivid in front of the audience, and the story of the paintings can impress the audience more deeply and for a long time, and finally leave a deeper impression in the minds of the audience. For cultural relics experts, the improvement of lighting effects is of course more conducive to their meticulous research on ancient paintings.

The Monza lighting method uses LED track lights to make full use of the space between the ancient paintings and the guardrails to test and obtain the best lighting solution. Depending on the best lighting solution, lighting designers and museum staff can design a new, fixed or movable guardrail with textual descriptions that hides not only the LED track lights and power cables, but also retrofits. Infrared sensor, automatic control of the switch of the lamp, or installation of a camera for on-site monitoring, protection, and so on.

Following the warming up of the above-mentioned Vienna lighting workstations and seminars, PLDC will hold a global lighting design conference in Paris from November 1st to 4th this year. The conference's cooperation members include 38 universities and more than 50 multinational corporations in the world. The topics discussed include not only cultural heritage lighting, but also urban lighting, education and research seminars, lighting products and so on, as shown in Figure 6.

At that time, Francisco and Selena will also deliver a speech entitled "The correlation of lessons learnt", which will be held on Thursday, November 2, 2017 at 12:15 am. Later, Alberto Pasetti of Italy will deliver a speech entitled "How neurosciences affect lighting design and visual perception".
