Journal ArticleDOI
The analysis of naturally and artificially aged protein-based paint media using Raman spectroscopy combined with Principal Component Analysis
Austin Nevin,Austin Nevin,Austin Nevin,Iacopo Osticioli,Demetrios Anglos,Aviva Burnstock,Sharon Cather,Emilio Castellucci,Emilio Castellucci +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the analysis of protein-based paint media used in paintings is presented using micro-Raman spectroscopy, carried out with a diode laser emitting at a wavelength of 785 nm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Micro-Raman and fluorescence spectroscopy for the assessment of the effects of the exposure to light on films of egg white and egg yolk
Iacopo Osticioli,Austin Nevin,Austin Nevin,Demetrios Anglos,Aviva Burnstock,Sharon Cather,Maurizio Becucci,Costas Fotakis,Emilio Castellucci,Emilio Castellucci +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, non-destructive techniques were employed for the spectrofluorimetric and micro-Raman differentiation of solid films of egg yolk and egg white as a function of exposure to light.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stratigraphic analysis of organic materials in wall painting samples using micro-FTIR attenuated total reflectance and a novel sample preparation technique
TL;DR: An alternative method for the preparation of cross-sections of wall painting samples was developed using cyclododecane (C12H24) as a temporary consolidant and barrier coating to encapsulate the sample, and to provide necessary support to produce a cross-section through microtoming.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of Protein-Based Media Commonly Found in Paintings Using Synchronous Fluorescence Spectroscopy Combined with Multivariate Statistical Analysis
TL;DR: Following SFS analysis of films of binding media, principal component analysis is used to differentiate among all the proteinaceous media considered on the basis of clustering of data, which is a novel and nondestructive means for differentiation between protein-based binding media.
Journal ArticleDOI
New insights into the composition of Indian yellow and its use in a Rajasthani wall painting
Diego Tamburini,Charlotte Martin de Fonjaudran,Giovanni Verri,Gianluca Accorsi,Angela Acocella,Francesco Zerbetto,Amarilli Rava,Samuel Whittaker,David Saunders,Sharon Cather +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a multi-analytical study focusing on two samples from an early 17th-century wall painting and two reference pigments from the British Museum and National Gallery (London, UK) is presented.
