A Color Analysis of the Brancacci Chapel Frescoes

Abstract: About one hundred significant spots (area = 0.5 cm2) that were homogeneously colored were selected on the frescoes “Resurrection of the son of Teofilo,” “Saint Peter in pulpit,” and “Saint Peter heals invalids by his shadow” in the Brancacci Chapel (Chiesa del Carmine, Florence). The reflectance spectra of these spots were recorded before and after restoration with the use of an external integrating sphere, which was connected through optical fibers to a UV/visible spectrophotometer, and the data were stored i… Show more

“…Reflectance Spectroscopy, especially in the FORS configuration, is a well-established technique for the characterization of natural dyes in artworks: many applications were reported for paintings and frescoes [1][2][3], manuscripts [4,5] and fabrics [6][7][8][9][10][11]; this method is becoming a useful analytical tool for conservation scientists in textiles examination, dyes identification, as testified by the very recent paper by MaynezRojas et al, presenting a complete FORS study for the identification of red dyestuff in historical fabrics [12], and to provide preliminary data useful for developing conservation strategies [10,11]. The FORS technique, totally non-destructive and non-invasive, also allows limiting the sampling.…”

“…Azurite and ultramarine are the most used historical blue pigments and they have reflectance maxima very close to each other, in the blue region at about 460 nm [29]. These maxima are adequately reconstructed in the corresponding MSI-12 spectra by 2 broad (bandwidth 50 nm) filters in the blue region, centred at 425 nm and 475 nm, and one green filter at 532 nm (bandwidth 16 nm) (Figure 3).…”

“…Furthermore, the application of optical and infrared spectroscopic techniques to the study of contemporary art has been the subject of a number of research papers in recent years [11][12][13][14], as in general the analysis of Cultural Heritage has taken advantage of the typical benefits of this spectroscopic analysis, both for in situ [15][16][17] and laboratory [18][19][20] analysis. This paper focuses on the examination of a large oil on canvas, "La Peste a Lucca (i Lebbrosi)" ("The Plague in Lucca (Lepers)") (200 cm × 400 cm) which was painted by Lorenzo Viani between 1913 and1915 (Fig.…”
