AbstractDeterioration of paintings is effected by chemical, physical and biological agents. Activity of these agents generates mechanical stresses which result in cracking, cupping, cleavage and flaking of the paint film. Internal mechanical stress appears to be primarily responsible for premature or drying cracks in paint. Stresses external to the paint cause age cracks which penetrate both paint and ground. The literature explaining the origin and characteristics of these cracks is reviewed. Although premature cracking can only be avoided by instructing the artist in proper use of materials, age or mechanical cracking can presently be prevented by environmental controls and careful handling. Present methods of reinforcement of paintings in general only partially stabilize them against environmentally generated stresses. Further research appears necessary for more complete understanding of the stresses old paint can withstand and of the forces exerted by the shrinking and swelling of textile and wooden supports. Search for and testing of more physically and chemically inert support materials are suggested. 相似文献

AbstractInfra-red reflectography, a method of improving the detectability of underdrawings in medieval paintings, is discussed. It is shown that the results can be explained with the Kubelka-Munk analysis of the optical properties of paint films. Measurements are described providing a plot of the paint layer thickness required to hide an underdrawing, against the wavelength.Such curves show a maximum around λ = 2.0 microns. Infra-red to visible image translation systems are surveyed to illustrate the choice of an infra-red vidicon television system to obtain reflectograms. This system is responsive to radiation up to 1.9 microns. The interpretation of infra-red reflectograms is briefly discussed. Limitations of the method are indicated. 相似文献

AbstractThis study describes the examination and analysis of four mixed media paintings from the 1960s and 1970s by Canadian artist Jack Chambers (1931–1978). The documentary evidence about his materials and methods is summarized and compared with the results of analysis of multilayer paint samples. The combination of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) allowed the components of the paint media to be characterized: ortho-phthalate alkyd resins, iso-phthalate alkyd resins, drying oils, dammar, Pinaceae resin, and turpentine were identified in varying proportions. Many pigments and fillers were identified by FTIR and Raman and are enumerated. The effect that Chambers’ complex technique has had on the aging and degradation of the paintings is discussed. The severe cracking of the paint layers in one of the four paintings may be the result of a high proportion of dammar and turpentine diluent mixed with the alkyd paint and may also be related to the type of alkyd resin medium. Different history and environmental conditions may also be factors. 相似文献

AbstractNaturally occurring pigments used by Aborigines in rock paintings have been collected in Western Australia. They area red pigment (mainly hematite, Fe2O3)(from a red ochre mine worked until historic times by Aborigines, and a white pigment (huntite, Mg3Ca(CO3)4) which is still collected and used by Aborigines. Samples were also taken from rock paintings in which these pigments were used or were thought to have been used. The pigment samples were analysed to establish chemical, mineralogical, and physical properties. The paint samples were examined microscopically and with an electron probe to study their relationship with the rock surface and with other paint layers. The relationship between the pigments’ properties and their durability is discussed. 相似文献

AbstractThe reasons for the often poor condition of Viceregal paintings and sculptures are examined. The conservation of four works is described, chosen largely because they had typical problems and would benefit from recently developed techniques. The treatments were: the preliminary lining of very cupped paintings, before using moisture to stretch the original canvas and allow the paint layer to lie flat again; lining badly torn paintings on a thin, semi-rigid, transparent support and using the old stretcher, in order to preserve the structure and aesthetic impression of the painting as much as possible; masking to protect susceptible fine lines against solvent action during cleaning; blending disturbing passages of the paint layer like blanching, irreducible stains, singeing and pentimenti into the colour scheme without overpainting; repairing broken pieces of sculpture with bamboo dowels. The study is accompanied by an iconographical discussion of colonial works of art. 相似文献

AbstractThe collection of paintings by Velázquez in the Museo del Prado is important both because of the number of works — about 50 — and because of their quality and significance. It includes the Feast of Bacchus (The Drunkards), the Forge of Vulcan, Christ on the Cross, the Surrender of Breda (The Lances), the Fable of Arachne (The Spinners), Las Meninas and various royal portraits. Most of these works are in very good condition, which is essential for a proper study of the painter's technique and his development; in addition, since their source is the royal collection, they are well documented. Since 1982 most of the works by Velázquez in the Museo del Prado have been submitted to technical examination and to restoration. The technical studies included X-radiography, infrared reflectography, and analysis of the supports and materials, allowing us to establish the characteristics of each painting (technique, changes in composition, condition, history) and the development ofthe artist through the changes in his technique. Restoration consisted basically of consolidating the paint layers, moderate cleaning and the inpainting oflacunae. The only exception to the general good condition of the paintings was The Spinners, which presented a serious problem of craquelure and lack of adhesion in the paint layer. 相似文献

AbstractVarious copper compounds which were used as pigments have been identified in a study of the layer structure of paintings. These pigments were either obtained from natural minerals or were synthesized. The results of attempts to synthesize copper-based pigments by following old recipes are also presented; the man-made pigments are compared with those found in paintings and with natural copper minerals of identical composition. The historical use of synthetic copper-based pigments is discussed. 相似文献

AbstractFor the study of Italian paintings and their techniques the examination of the binding media (glue, egg, oil) has considerable importance, but with the usual scientific methods of analysis the results have never been conclusive. Each sample may include more than one layer of paint and many constituents; egg yolk alone contains protein, oils, cholesterol. In the present project, in order to identify these diverse materials and also to eliminate interference from contamination (glue, wax or oil) used in later restoration processes, it was decided to mount original paint samples, including a bit of the ground, as cross-sections in a polyester resin embedding material and then to make the constituents visible under the microscope by using selective staining techniques. Only in this way could the foreign materials be distinguished from the original and the structure of the original layers be understood. Finally, other tests such as the fluorescent antibody technique and thin-layer chromatography could be applied to confirm the results of the staining. In removing over 500 specimens fronl paintings in the Walters Art Gallery precautions were taken to assure sample authenticity, and during the testing at the University of Michigan careful methods of standardization and control were devised, using both fresh and old samples of egg tempera and oil. Two stains, Ponceau S for protein and Sudan Black B for oil, provided the most workable means of identifying the binding media in the majority of the samples studied. A final report will have to await correlation of the material, but certain observations may be made at this stage: (a) 14th century, in primarily tempera paintings a limited use of oil was found associated with a specific green pigment, copper resinate; (b)15th century, the majority of the paintings were entirely of egg tempera, but layers containing oil in the underpainting or in the above-mentioned copper green occurred more frequently; (c)16th century, egg tempera was not replaced by oil, but both were used in a complex layering technique, the media varying layer by layer and area by area; (d)17th century, the mixed technique gradually declined, but egg tempera continued to be associated with the painting of flesh and occasional highlights. 相似文献

AbstractThe surfaces of acrylic emulsion (dispersion) paint films were investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM), with supporting chemical information provided via infrared spectroscopy. The morphological and chemical features of the surfaces of a series of recently cast reference paint films were explored, including characterization of changes induced by exposure to water and mineral spirits. A portable in situ AFM system was also used to document the surfaces of acrylic emulsion paintings in Tate's collection. The complete and partial removal of migrated surfactant was successfully imaged alongside features arising from mechanical action. Differences in paint surfaces and migrated surfactant layers were observed in relation to pigment type, paint brand and exposure to accelerated ageing, in addition to applied wet surface cleaning treatments. The findings contribute to further understanding of the subtle changes occurring at acrylic emulsion paint film surfaces and are relevant to current debates on the removal/disturbance of original surface surfactant from these films through conservation treatment. 相似文献

ABSTRACTTwentieth century paints often contain titanium dioxide and zinc oxide based white pigments that can range from photostable to highly photocatalytic. Photocatalytic pigments can cause the degradation of paint upon UV exposure, whereas photostable pigments may be benign or can protect paintings from degradation. Hence, knowing whether or not a pigment is photocatalytic is of high importance for risk assessment and the subsequent decision making process concerning storage and exposure conditions of objects. Here we present a proof of principle, focused on titanium white paints, for an easy-to-use and low-tech application of a commercial photocatalytic activity indicator ink (PAII) on embedded paint samples or cross sections. This test determines, qualitatively, if a photocatalytic pigment is present in a white paint sample. The PAII paint sample staining application shows an obvious color change, within five minutes of UV irradiation, for paint samples containing photocatalytic pigments. A microscope with a camera and a UV source are the only necessary equipment for the application of this method. A quantitative image processing protocol is also proposed as an extension of the staining method by applying open source software analysis to measure the color change using photographs. The test was evaluated on reference paints with well-characterized pigments and applied on samples from modern paintings by Piet Mondriaan, Robert Ryman, and Lucebert, indicating the presence of harmful photocatalytic pigments in these cases. The novel application of a commercial ink on paint samples offers a simple test, not just for assessment of photocatalytic activity of titanium white pigments, but which may in future be applied for the detection of photoactive forms of zinc white and other potentially harmful semiconductor pigments in art objects. 相似文献

AbstractThe restoration of the Hedin altar in Rothenburg o.d.T., dated 1466, is described. The polychromed sculptures were cleaned and loose paint was fixed. Methods and materials used in the restoration of the paintings, the areas polychromed in various techniques and the brocade reliefs are mentioned. The altar was protected from direct sunlight. The construction of the shrine and the technique of carving are extensively discussed. Sculptures made from one piece of lime wood were hollowed out and closed with a plank. Traces of rough finishing are visible. Shrine and predella were polychromed after a preliminary assembly of the sculptures. The various techniques used in the undisfigured polychromy are described as they are observed with the unaided eye. It can be shown that the working methods were rational. The fabrication of relief brocades and the various patterns used are discussed in detail. The treatment of the various paintings on the wings, the predella and the reverse of the shrine is reported. The question is raised to what extent the painter Herlin can also have been responsible for the polychromy. 相似文献

ABSTRACTThe impact of relative humidity (RH) and temperature variation on the mechanical behaviour of paintings on canvas was investigated, based on the various environmental recommendations that are applied by museums and institutions worldwide. Paint samples were constructed based on the works of twentieth-century artists such as Soulages and Riopelle. The various samples are based on criteria such as paint media, additives, pigment type, canvas type, thickness, type of application, and drying time. Once they are fully dry, paint films behave as elastic, viscoelastic, or viscoplastic materials depending on the chemical nature of their components. These properties, as well as tensile strength, were determined by a series of tensile tests. Other samples were included, originating from discarded oil paintings on canvas from the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. To carry out mechanical tests under controlled conditions of temperature and RH, a climatic chamber was built around the column of a universal testing machine. Samples were submitted to stress relaxation tests to observe their response to changes in environmental conditions. RH was increased from 20 to 90% and temperature from 15 to 60°C. Reactivity diagrams were drawn based on the results. The endurance limit under mechanical fatigue was determined from the diagrams and helped define the risks associated with each painting type when exposed to the accepted environmental recommendations. 相似文献

AbstractA yellowish copper vanadate mineral has been found in Swedish mural paintings from the fifteenth century. Small patches occur in malachite-green paint. Thirteen samples from five churches have been analyzed by optical and scanning electron microscopy with energy–dispersive X-ray spectrometry, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and polarized light microscopy. The substance is evidently the rather uncommon mineral volborthite, with the chemical formula Cu3V2O7(OH)2.2H2O. Very small quantities have also been noted for another mineral, presumably calcio-volborthite, CaCu(VO4)(OH), also named tangeite. The results show that the conservator should always be observant for pigments not earlier noticed or reported. There are some old mines in Central Europe, e.g. in Germany, which contain malachite as well as copper vanadate minerals, and this is probably the origin of the yellow patches in the paintings. 相似文献

AbstractThe authors describe the application of TV holography, also known as electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI), to the examination of wall paintings. The equipment usesfibre-optic illumination and a solid-state camera connected to a computer. Images made after the wall painting has been warmed slightly with an infrared lamp are compared with reference images; differences in the speckle pattern can be used to identify cracks and subsurface detachments. The system is robust and portable, allowing it to be used for the in situ investigation of wall paintings, including those exposed externally. It can also be used to monitor the condition of the work of art over time and to evaluate the success of any treatment. 相似文献

A great number of Central Asian wall paintings, archeological materials, architectural fragments, and textiles, as well as painting fragments on silk and paper, make up the so called Turfan Collection at the Asian Art Museum in Berlin. The largest part of the collection comes from the Kucha region, a very important cultural center in the third to ninth centuries. Between 1902 and 1914, four German expeditions traveled along the northern Silk Road. During these expeditions, wall paintings were detached from their original settings in Buddhist cave complexes. This paper reports a technical study of a wall painting, existing in eight fragments, from the Buddhist cave no. 40 (Ritterhöhle). Its original painted surface is soot blackened and largely illegible. Grünwedel, leader of the first and third expeditions, described the almost complete destruction of the rediscovered temple complex and evidence of fire damage. The aim of this case study is to identify the materials used for the wall paintings. Furthermore, soot deposits as well as materials from conservation interventions were of interest. Non-invasive analyses were preferred but a limited number of samples were taken to provide more precise information on the painting technique. By employing optical and scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, micro X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, and Raman spectroscopy, a layer sequence of earthen render, a ground layer made of gypsum, and a paint layer containing a variety of inorganic pigments were identified. 相似文献

AbstractUsing written accounts of observed methods and materials of Tibetan paintings as well as examination of numerous examples, the techniques of Tibetan paintings, especially paintings on cloth, are discussed. Brief mention is made of the regional styles of Tibetan painting, since the techniques used in the production of these paintings apparently vary throughout Tibet and China. Various types of supports are mentioned and analyses of the types of cloths are given. The preparation and materials used in the ground, pigments and preliminary drawings and prints are discussed. The iconometrics of Tibetan painting are mentioned, since the total conception of the object is dependent upon them. 相似文献

AbstractThe investigation of materials found in Bacon's studio is reported. The contents of the studio are examined and interpreted to identify the materials and colours most favoured by Bacon, and the range of media used. A small number of colours appear to have been heavily used. Some objects used as tools in the painting process are also investigated and explain textures seen in paint in his works. Samples of selected materials from the studio are analysed to identify the components of paints (pigments, extenders, and binders) used by Bacon. This investigation is part of a wider project examining his materials and techniques. The analytical information obtained here from the studio helps to clarify the statements made by Bacon in interviews regarding his use of materials and is proving useful in the identification of materials in his paintings, in order to help with the conservation and authentication of his works. 相似文献

AbstractIn the course of a program to develop adhesives for the consolidation of paintings it was found necessary to: (1) define the aims of the research, (2) design tests which would provide information on the mechanical performance (effectiveness) of the adhesives, (3) design tests which would help eliminate adhesives with qualities hazardous to paintings. This paper describes only the tests on the mechanical performance of various adhesives: (1) adhesion to paint films, (2) adhesion to conventional and newly developed lining supports, (3) cold flow of lining adhesives, and (4) rigidity of lining laminates. Formulations of the newly developed adhesives are given. 相似文献

AbstractThomas Bardwell (1704–67), an English portrait painter, wrote a technical treatise entitled The Practice of Painting and Perspective Made Easy which was published in 1756. The section on painting deals exclusively with the oil technique and may be considered one of the most original productions of its kind written in England. A total of 153 paint samples were taken from 15 of Bardwell’s paintings dating between 1740 and 1766, the better part of his active career. Through cross-sections, and likewise numerous analyses, made from these paint samples it was possible to reconstruct Bardwell’s actual practice. This in turn could be compared with the suggested technique as explained in his book. Bardwell’s actual practice follows his written advice rather closely; however, in general it was discovered to be less complicated. 相似文献
