Abstract This study is the first systematic survey of a large corpus zinc white (ZnO) artists’ materials. Zinc pigment developed within wave 19th-century technological developments in paint industry. The composition, particle morphology and size, luminescence 49 samples from materials were characterized, including three references known synthesis methods (indirect direct) synthesized by authors (ZnO nanosmoke). included historical modern powders leading European American color manufacturers....

Particle induced X-ray emission spectroscopy (PIXE) is now routinely used in the field of cultural heritage. Various setups have been developed to investigate elemental composition wood/canvas paintings or cross-section samples. However, it not possible obtain information concerning quantity organic binder. Backscattering spectrometry (BS) can be a useful complementary method overcome this limitation. In case paint layers, PIXE brings (major elements traces) and BS spectrum give access...
Giotto (1266–1337) and his workshop realized c. 1315 the large Crucifix now in Louvre Museum. The conservation of this masterpiece 2010–2013 C2RMF studios gave opportunity for a comprehensive investigation execution technique through characterization paint layers. first examinations revealed an original gilding decoration surrounding Christ which was repainted during 19th C., raising question appearance. still present underneath unveiled. different imaging analytical techniques applied...
Abstract The provenance of raw lapis lazuli used since the Neolithic Age for realization carved artefacts can be pivoting reconstruction ancient trade routes. role main provider this material in times is generally attributed to Badakhshan quarries (Afghanistan), although other deposits could have been exploited as well antiquity. systematic multi-technique analysis rocks coming from four known source areas (located present-day Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Siberia and Chile) has led last years...
Abstract Historical paintings with important iconographical changes represent an analytical challenge. Considering the case study of a fifteenth-century French painting studied during its restoration, efficiency combined noninvasive approach two-dimensional scanning macro-X-ray fluorescence imaging (MA-XRF) and laboratory-based depth-resolved confocal micro-X-ray (CXRF) is discussed. Large chemical maps several elements were obtained by MA-XRF, enabling identification zones interest...
Abstract Abri Pataud is a prehistoric rock‐shelter now largely collapsed. Archaeological excavations have revealed more than 40 settlements between 35 000 and 20 years ago corresponding to the first half of Upper Palaeolithic (Aurignacian, Gravettian Solutrean archaeological cultures). During excavations, remains painted rock flakes coming from collapsed shelter walls, objects, ochre pencils as well raw pigments were found in levels. After preliminary non‐destructive investigation samples by...
