Orpiment and realgar are two artists' pigments that appear not to be stable upon light exposure, quickly degrading arsenic trioxide arsenate. Their identification appears challenging but can overcome by the use of synchrotron based techniques such as μ-XANES.
Abstract Maya blue is a hybrid pigment where an organic component, indigo, incorporated in porous clay. Despite its widespread use the Mesoamerican artistic production and numerous studies devoted to understand type of interactions between indigo host framework, technology has not been completely unravelled yet. In this study portable non-invasive UV–vis reflection spectroscopy proposed as robust method for situ investigation pigments. Laboratory mock-ups powder have prepared employing...
Using the MOLAB® non-invasive analytical mobile laboratory, we studied a finely illuminated sixteenth-century Persian manuscript at Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK, in collaboration with its Department of Manuscripts and Printed Books. Three miniatures belonging to manuscript, but ascribable different periods, were analyzed order identify similarities differences painting materials techniques used by Safavid artists over period 150 years. The use multiple indicated common palette...
Green pigments in micro-samples taken from three late-medieval painted objects Norwegian churches have been investigated with the aim to characterize their constituents and understand how they relate damages observed passages containing green paints. The cross-sections were analyzed by optical microscopy under visible UV light, Scanning Electron Microscopy coupled Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectrometry vibrational spectroscopies (Raman, ATR-FTIR). In addition, Gas Chromatography Mass was...
Here, we report on the analytical findings and their cultural implications of a multidisciplinary study pre‐Columbian Codex Fejérváry‐Mayer. Today conserved at World Museum in Liverpool, it is one finest Mesoamerican codices among few extant. Thanks to exploitation non‐invasive methodologies accessible through MOLAB European mobile facility, allowed us disclose chemical composition painting materials used codex, which have never been analysed before. The results are discussed compared with...
Metal soaps pose significant concerns in the preservation of paintings made with oil as a binding medium. In highly alkaline environments, metal soap aggregates may undergo mineralization processes formation new phases, such carbonates, chlorides, oxides and sulfates cations that are present pigments or paint additives. this work, we report examples lead paint-cross sections taken from late-medieval panel painting owned by Museum Cultural History at University Oslo. Scientific analyses were...
This paper sheds light on the manufacturing processes, techniques, and materials used in splendid illuminations of oldest surviving copy De Balneis Puteolanis, preserved at Angelica Library Rome (Ms. 1474). The codex is one masterpieces mid-13th-century Italian-Southern illumination, traditionally referred to as commission Manfredi, son Frederick II. findings reported article result from interdisciplinary study conducted 2021–2023 framework “Codex 4D: journey four dimensions into...
The current interdisciplinary study of a funerary portrait has provided the first identification blue pigment on Palmyrene sculpture. exceptional attestation lapis lazuli examined confirms use this highly valuable semiprecious stone in ancient polychromy, which was previously thought to be later addition painter's palette. Considering that archaeological record contains numerous minor objects carved from lazuli, there are astonishingly few known instances its as pigment. This discovery is...
<title>Abstract</title> One of the finest portraits Burgundian Duke Philip Good resides in Musée des Beaux-Arts Dijon. This small yet exceptionally crafted panel holds significance for both historians and art alike. Surprisingly, prior to this study, context, dating authorship piece remained obscure, unfounded widely circulated hypothesis it being "a copy a lost portrait by Rogier van der Weyden" does not withstand critical analysis. Therefore, painting underwent multidisciplinary...
Abstract One of the finest fifteenth-century portraits Burgundian Duke Philip Good resides in Musée des Beaux-Arts Dijon. This small yet exceptionally crafted panel holds significance for both historians and art alike. Surprisingly, prior to this study, context, dating authorship piece remained obscure, widely circulated hypothesis it being “a copy a lost portrait by Rogier van der Weyden” has never been corroborated convincing arguments. Clarifying painting were primary objectives...
