A three-phase digital reconstruction of the now-lost tramezzo and presbytery of the parish church of S. Remigio in Florence, Italy visualizes the interior of this small gothic space as it may have appeared at the end of the fourteenth century. Using data collected from a combination of Terrestrial Laser scans (TLS), high resolution photographs, architectural evidence, and archival information, the Digital Humanities team of Florence As It Was has recreated the structure that once bisected this Medieval worship center, including three of the paintings that may have adorned it, to reveal the spatial and artistic relationships valued by the proprietors and users of the neighborhood church. The results provide an example of how traditional art–historical questions surrounding the original appearance of spaces and structures may be queried and then tested through the employment of Remote Sensing technologies.
