In summary, the study by Professor Thomas McAvoy carefully re-examined recently published UV images of the Shroud of Turin and presented a unique approach to overcome the uneven illumination problem with the images. The center of the image on the Shroud also fluoresced more than the sides of the Shroud near it. Moreover, fluorescence was stronger near the center of the image on the Shroud than near the image of the head or feet. In addition, where comparisons could be made, the Shroud was seen to fluoresce more on its dorsal side than its frontal side, and fluorescence was stronger near the center of the image on the Shroud than near the head or feet. The author reported that the Shroud exhibited very unique UV fluorescence intensity properties, where it fluoresced more on its right side than its left side.
Overall, he cast the UV photos into the CIE L * a * b color space to get pixel intensity. Next, he analyzed the first 16 UV photos, and he subjected the photos to preliminary treatment where they were resized, the center of illumination located and one outlier image detected. In brief, Professor Thomas McAvoy discussed the non-uniform illumination problem with the photos and proposed a a method to overcome it. This exciting work is currently published in the research journal, Applied Optics. He specifically focused on analyzing 22 of the UV photos that Miller took in 1978. On this account, Professor Thomas McAvoy from the Institute for Systems Research at University of Maryland carefully analyzed recently published UV photographs of the Shroud. In as much as this is important, certainty of the same would highly be welcome. Indeed, the fact that recent studies have placed the Shroud in Christ’s time is vital. Even though there are valid statistical questions about the radiocarbon dating results, the very large discrepancy between the medieval radiocarbon dates and the first century appears very likely to be due to some other cause than contamination hence calling for further studies. For instance, one study radiocarbon dated the Shroud to have originated between 1260-1390, while a more recent study using more advanced techniques dated the shroud to between 200 BC and 372AD – the time of Jesus Christ.
To date, the specific time in history when the Shroud was used is still a contentious issue as various research groups have placed it in different time periods. As a result, it has become one of the most studied relics in all of history. Many believe that this cloth is Christ’s burial shroud consequently, attracting much research from both historians and scientists. In addition to those works, there are paintings in the Mekhitarist College in Venice, the Monastery on the Island of San Lazzaro and also several homes of friends in the USA.The Shroud of Turin is a length of linen cloth bearing the negative image of a crucified man on it. They can be found in Armenian and Eastern Rite Catholic Churches in France, Italy, Turkey, and in America in Belmont, Roxbury and Indian Orchard Massachusetts, and Philadelphia and Wynnewood Pennsylvania. He has painted murals with spiritual as well as secular themes. Agemian was also a portraitist and a landscapist. He has painted national themes reflecting the ancient as well as the contemporary history of the Armenian people. During his artistic career in Europe he received two Gold Medals in art, from the “Association Artistiques” in Venice and the “Artistes Critiques” in Paris. Agemian was a representative of the school of academic realism and a skillful master of composition.

He received the degree of “Maestro d’Arte and a full professorship in art from the Academie of Fine Arts in Venice and a doctorate in Philosophy from the University of Padua, Italy. He was then separated from his mother and brother and taken by the Mekhitarist Monks to Rome and soon onto Venice where he was educated until he was 18 years old.
At the age of five he witnessed the Massacre of Armenians and the death of his father. He was always the artist who demonstrated the myriad of experiences and appearances in the existence of life. There is another painting of Christ that looks quite different and is very interesting.Īrmenian artist, Ariel (Haroutin) Agemian is an artist-writer with the dual expression of idealist and materialistic art. It is a wonderful sampling of Agemian’s religious and non-religious art. Armenian artist, Ariel (Haroutin) Agemian’s “reproduction of Christ from The Shroud of Turin, is considered the most exact by experts in the scientific research field,” writes a blogger at PeopleOfAr (click on the picture at right for a larger image).īut there is much more in this posting.
