Paper Abstract
This work is intended to deal with the problems which arise when illuminanting Paleolithic cave paintings. We have
carried out the spectral and colorimetric characterization of some paintings located in the Murcielagos (bats) cave
(Zuheros, Córdoba, Spain). From this characterization, the chromatic changes produced under different lighting
conditions are analysed. The damage function is also computed for the different illuminants used. From the results
obtained, it is proposed an illuminant whose spectral distribution diminishes the damage by minimizing the absorption of
radiation and optimises the color perception of the paintings in this cave. The procedure followed in this study can be
applied to optimise the lighting systems used when illuminating any other art work
