Pigment database Veneria reale

New database available from Centro Conservazione e Restauro dei Beni Culturali La Venaria Reale !

https://www.centrorestaurovenaria.it/en/laboratories/pigments-database

“Integrating the skills it possesses, the Centro has been able to produce a set of around 1200 painting samples with corresponding imaging and point analysis databases. The materials used – totalling 173 between pigments and dyes, 4 for the preparatory drawings, 4 binders and 2 types of oil – were selected to reproduce the principal artistic techniques used from antiquity to contemporary art, presenting combinations with the products most widely used in restoration.
The database is available online as a comparative and reference tool for the study of the royal art works.”

 

 

 

UKIYO-E color pigments optical and chemical

Japanese pigments in Ukiyo-e  (1700-1900) could be recognized with non invasive optical images from UV to IR (reflexion and fluorescence) and chemical XRF data.

Here is the summary of the work done in C2RMF of pigments registered in imaging under visible light, UV and IR transformed in False color (https://copa.hypotheses.org/1204) and fluorescence from UV light in visible domain.  Main chemical component from XRF are also listed.

Fluorescence response from visible to visible and visible to IR will be added soon.

DATABASE : Pigments under UV and IR radiations

Scientific photography for cultural heritage : pigment image database under UV and IR radiations

Several pigments/colorants were registred using Hasselblad photography imaging under several radiations, from UV (365 nm) to IR (780-1000 nm). We obtained several images :

  • VIS : normal image, in visible domain under visible light (380-780 nm;
  • REF_UV_UV : reflection in UV domain under UV radiations (360-400);
  • UVFC : image treatment of REF_UV_UV with VIS to obtain false color lisible image
  • FLUO_UV_VIS : fluorescence of material under UV (pic 365 nm) seen in visible domain;
  • REF_NIR_NIR : infrared reflection under near infrared light (780-1000 nm);
  • IRFC : image treatment of REF_NIR_NIR with VIS to obtain false color lisible image
  • FLUO_VIS_IR : fluorescence under visible light (pic 690 nm)  in near infrared domain (780-1000 nm);

Those images are used to find out some possible pigments and colorants, because some of them have  specific spectral responses in IR or UV, or with fluorescence.

We provide FORS (400 nm-1000nm) reflection spectra made with Ruby Still non contact spectrometer for information.

Be aware that color material identification is usually completed with microscopic observations and FluoX analysis but could need much more complex investigations.

We share our image database hoping it could help the community of cultural heritage. In order to use them, please understand that the colors are indicatives as your artwork materials, binding and aging could differ.

Fiber Optics Reflectance Spectra (FORS) of Pictorial Materials in the 270-1700 nm range

Le laboratoire  de restauration de l’Opificio delle Pietre Dure et le laboratoire de spectroscopie appliquée de l’institut de physique appliquée “Nello Carrara” ont mis en ligne les spectres de réflectance UV/VIS/IR des principaux pigments de peinture. Il faut s’inscrire et les courbes ne sont pas téléchargeables mais c’est une vraie mine d’informations pour la reconnaissance des matériaux et issu d’un travail collectif partagé.

source : http://fors.ifac.cnr.it/photo.jpg

This database presents a collection of reflectance spectra in the 270-820 nm, 350-1000 nm, and 980-1700 nm ranges acquired on several paint layer structures that were built with materials selected from those most commonly used both in the past and in the present day. The pictorial materials were painted out onto small wood panels prepared with a traditional ground of gypsum and animal glue. They were applied as pure pigment/dye or as a mixture of different pigments/dyes with different binding media. Some of these pictorial materials were also applied as transparent glazes over opaque paint layers or metal leaf.

This spectra collection focuses on providing information that permits recognition of the spectral features of several pictorial materials. The spectra may be enlarged by directly clicking on the displayed graph. To date the spectroscopic data cannot be downloaded via the spectra pages.

This database is part of the continuing collaboration between the Restoration Laboratory of the Opificio delle Pietre Dure and the Applied Spectroscopy Laboratory of the Institute of Applied Physics “Nello Carrara” of the Italian National Research Council.
