The scanning apparatus has a parallelepiped-shaped base (10) with sliders (21-24) for moving a painting laterally on a support plate (31) in the X and Y directions. A vertical arm (40) stands at one end of the base and has a horizontal extension (42) extending over the horizontal upper surface of the base, holding a lamp (44) and a scanner (45) facing downward. The scanner may be a linear high resolution color camera.
