Pigments-Iron-based red, yellow, and brown ochres

Georgios P. Mastrotheodoros et al.

Summary: Natural ochres, ranging in color from yellow to deep red and brown, have been widely used for decorative, artistic, and medicinal purposes since prehistoric times. This paper provides an overview of the range, composition, origin, properties, and potential processing of natural ochre pigments, as well as the production and processing of artificial ochres. It also discusses analytical techniques for ochres' identification and provenancing, along with guidelines for good practice, and offers insights on ochres' potential applications and limitations, including a discussion on ochres in the Greco-Roman world.

Pigments-Lead-based whites, reds, yellows and oranges and their alteration phases

Elisabetta Gliozzo et al.

Summary: This review summarises the current state of research on lead-based pigments, covering their production, trade, use, and potential alteration. It also discusses issues related to the investigation and protection of artworks containing these pigments. The focus is on the mineralogical aspects, describing both the raw materials and degradation products that are mineral phases found in nature. The review examines various minerals and pigments, describing their history, technology, and alteration. Additionally, it provides insight into analytical methods for accurate archaeometric investigations and includes a list of references for further research.

Scanning X-ray Fluorescence Data Analysis for the Identification of Byzantine Icons' Materials, Techniques, and State of Preservation: A Case Study

Theofanis Gerodimos et al.

Summary: X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry is a non-destructive analytical technique that is widely used in cultural heritage studies for its ability to reveal elemental composition of artifacts. This study compared two different analysis methods, spectroscopic approach and exploratory data analysis approach, to analyze a Greek religious panel painting. The results showed that both approaches can provide detailed information about pigments used, painting technique, and restoration interventions.

The Power of Combining MA-XRF, Infrared Reflectography and Digital Microscopy to Unveil the Production of the 16th Century Illuminated Charter of evora: What May Be Hidden under a Painted Surface?

Catarina Miguel et al.

Summary: In recent years, there has been a focus on non-invasive methods in the study of materials and painting techniques used for illuminated manuscripts. This research presents the analysis of the Portuguese Charter of evora, using elemental mapping and non-invasive imaging techniques. Unexpected results regarding the chronology of the illumination production and its implications for the 16th century City of evora were obtained.

Sunset and moonshine: Variable blue and yellow pigments used by Caspar David Friedrich in different creative periods revealed by in situXRFimaging

Matthias Alfeld et al.

Summary: The study found that Friedrich used iron-based yellow pigments and smalt-based blue pigments in his early works, while chromium-based yellow pigments and cobalt blue were used in his later paintings. Additionally, cadmium sulphide was found in a painting dated 1817, possibly indicating historical retouching.

On the Red and Yellow Pigments of Post-Byzantine Greek Icons*

G. P. Mastrotheodoros et al.

Summary: The study investigated red and yellow pigments on over 50 panel paintings dating from the mid-15th to the mid-19th centuries in Greece, revealing a predominance of cinnabar and yellow ochres, as well as unique pigment usage in the region of north-west Greece. The rare lead-antimony-tin yellow was also identified in an early 18th-century Greek icon. Trends in pigments use during the post-Byzantine period were compared with contemporary Western European ones, resulting in the restoration of pertinent misconceptions through revisiting recipes and terms of the Hermeneia manual in light of the analytical data.

MA-XRF for the Characterisation of the Painting Materials and Technique of the Entombment of Christ by Rogier van der Weyden

Anna Mazzinghi et al.

Summary: MA-XRF is a crucial analytical method in heritage science, providing elemental maps to aid in understanding painting materials and techniques. In this study, the INFN-CHNet MA-XRF scanner was used to analyze a painting by a Flemish artist for the purpose of characterizing materials and techniques employed.

Max Ernst's Woman, Old Man, and Flower (1923-24): Four Paintings in One Revealed by Technical Imaging

Ana Martins et al.

Summary: The analysis of Max Ernst's painting "Woman, Old Man, and Flower" using various techniques revealed three distinct paintings concealed underneath the final composition, including an intermediate composition and two additional states. This study broadened our understanding of the painting and Ernst's collage-like pictorial development, while also proposing a list of pigments based on elemental information.

Exploring Liu Kang's Paris Practice (1929-1932): Insight into Painting Materials and Technique

Damian Lizun et al.

Summary: This study presents the results of an extensive investigation into 14 paintings by pioneering Singapore artist Liu Kang (1911-2004), focusing on his painting techniques and materials during his early career in Paris from 1929 to 1932. The artist's use of a limited color palette and commercially available pigments, as well as exploration of different styles influenced by Modernist artworks, were identified through non- and micro-invasive analytical techniques. The findings of this study may provide valuable insights for art historians and conservators in evaluating Liu Kang's early career and in aiding conservation diagnostics and treatment of his artworks.
