This work establishes a multiscale and multitechnique nondestructive approach as valid methodology for monitoring surface properties evaluating the effectiveness of enzymatic removal varnishes from paintings/polychrome artefacts. Mock-up samples (documented reconstructions oil, tempera, gilded layers on canvas wooden supports) were covered with different proteinaceous (egg white, animal fish glue, casein) then characterized before after these coatings enzyme-based solutions. The varnish was...
ABSTRACT This article proposes an innovative methodology which employs nondestructive techniques to assess the effectiveness of new formulations based on ionic liquids, as alternative solvents for enzymes (proteases), removal proteinaceous materials from painted surfaces during restoration treatments. Ionic liquids (ILs), also known “designer” solvents, because their peculiar properties can be adjusted by selecting different cation‐anion combinations, are potentially green due totheir low...
No desenvolvimento de uma investigação multidisciplinar e integrada, que incluiu as ciências da conservação a história, apresenta-se proposta para reconstituição histórica o restauro virtual do retábulo maneirista altar-mor Igreja Espírito Santo, em Évora. Neste tipo estudo os dados recolhidos são abundantes informação científica, pelo seu caráter técnico especializado, nem sempre tem leitura direta, sendo menos acessível ao público geral. Explorou-se infografia web-based como forma...
To monitor and analyze the effectiveness of new cleaning formulations, using a combination ionic liquids ([BMIM] [BF4] [EMIM] [EtSO4]) enzymes (three different proteases E.C.3.4.), we adopted novel multi-scale non-invasive approach based with instruments: stereomicroscope (SM), optical microscope (OM) visible fluorescence light, atomic force (AFM) scanning electron (SEM). The combinations these techniques allowed an extensive complete characterization surface materials were successfully...
This paper aims to present a study of old photographic retouching manuals which is part research project on the gelatin silver glass plate negatives from Portuguese collections first half twentieth century. Several contemporary authors various nationalities were studied. Differences in approach have been explored terms techniques and materials, particularly as addressed issues such ethics legitimacy photo retouching, well relationship photography other arts.
Abstract This article reports the preliminary results of a technical and material study carried out on 17th century panel painting located at Chapel Souls in main church Vila Nova da Baronia (30 km away from Évora city, southern Portugal). is attributed to José Escovar, painter that worked for Archiepiscopate between 1583 1622. Escovar known by his mural paintings all across Alentejo region. first time made this artist was studied. Analytical methods used included situ photography (visible...
For those not connected to the practice of photography, but that still have interest about it, may they be historians, archives staff or conservators is difficult understand and appreciate work retoucher from early XX century. The discoveries made potential retouching negatives by hand were no less then surprising under light what can done today means computer. This subject isn’t there for, just acuriosity for a small group researchers theme with contemporary interest.
Este trabajo presenta una parte del proyecto de investigación sobre el retoque negativos fotográficos gelatina y sales plata placas vidrio, intenciones, impacto la práctica en imagen objeto su estado conservación. Éste es un estudio caso uso las técnicas colección científica, aquél que fue Instituto Antropología Dr. Mendes Correia, Museo Historia Natural Ciencia Universidad Porto (MHNC-UP). En fotografía científica necesario registro riguroso, representación verdad, lo diferencia este tipo...
O presente artigo aborda o processo de concepção e produção uma exposição assente na problemática da imagem fotográfi ca importância do estudo negativo prática retoque para cabal conhecimento dessa imagem. Dedicada à fotografi a retrato ao trabalho estúdio fotográfico, centrada no espólio antiga Foto-Carvalho, um em funcionamento Estremoz desde 1936 até c. 2000, revela complexidade construção fotográfica. A sua organização envolveu cidade conferiu dimensão performativa pesquisa académica,...
