The conservation of paintings is fundamental to ensure that future generations will have access to the ideas of the grand masters who created these art pieces. Many factors, such as humidity, temperature, light, and pollutants, pose a risk to the conservation of paintings. To help with painting conservation, it is essential to be able to noninvasively study how these factors affect paintings and to develop methods to investigate their effects on painting degradation. Hence, the use of mobile nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) as a method of investigation of paintings is gaining increased attention in the world of Heritage Science. In this mini-review, we discuss how this method was used to better understand the stratigraphy of paintings and the effect different factors have on the painting integrity, to analyze the different cleaning techniques suitable for painting conservation, and to show how mobile NMR can be used to identify forgeries. It is also important to keep in mind its limitations and build upon this information to optimize it to extend its applicability to the study of paintings and other precious objects of cultural heritage.
绘画的保护对于确保后代能够接触到创作这些艺术作品的大师们的思想至关重要。许多因素，如湿度、温度、光照和污染物，都会对绘画的保护构成威胁。为了帮助进行绘画保护，必须能够非侵入性地研究这些因素如何影响绘画，并开发方法来调查它们对绘画降解的影响。因此，移动核磁共振（NMR）作为一种绘画研究方法，在文物科学领域越来越受到关注。在这个小综述中，我们讨论了这种方法如何被用于更好地了解绘画的分层结构以及不同因素对绘画完整性的影响，分析适合绘画保护的不同清洁技术，并展示如何使用移动 NMR 来识别赝品。同样重要的是要记住它的局限性，并在此基础上进行优化，以扩大其在绘画和其他文化遗产珍贵物品研究中的应用。
