“…5)-the only location identified for this material in the current study. Calcium phosphate is the major component of calcined bone ash [54,55] and its presence here can only be a matter of conjecture-clearly it has no relevance to the decorative pigment and its detection in wall paintings usually implies that bone black or ivory black has been used as a carbon-based pigment by the artist [2,3]. However, there is no indication of carbon otherwise having been deliberately added to this area of the painting.…”

“…The applicability of Raman spectroscopy to the analysis of archaeological artefacts and art works has been amply demonstrated in recent years [1][2][3][4][5]. From the identification of mineral pigment composition, degradation and substrates in ancient frescoes and wall paintings [6][7][8][9][10] and in polychrome statuary [11] to the discovery and evaluation of biological degradation in organic dyes [12,13], textiles [14,15], endangered rock art exposed to hostile environments [16][17][18][19][20] and on the pigments on historiated manuscripts and parchments [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] much novel information has been revealed at both a microscopic and macroscopic level of molecular interrogation.…”

“…As indicated by Vandenabeele et al (2007), fluorescence is one of the most challenging side effects of Raman spectroscopy with organic materials. Therefore lasers with different NIR wavelengths, such as 1064 nm and 780 nm, were tested since, as Vandenabeele indicates, working in the near infrared region ensures the lowest fluorescence.…”

Besides other ligno-cellulosic materials such as straw, rice husks, or bagasse, wet blue particles from leather production are a promising new raw material stock for wood-based panels, as they offer not only a high availability, but increase the properties of the panel with regard to fire resistance or mechanical characteristics. A panel with a mixture of 42.5% wood fibers, 42.5% wet blue leather particles, and 15% lignin adhesive was produced, and an inhomogeneous sample was prepared. An area of 9 x 10 mm was rasterized and scanned by means of Raman Spectroscopy. Furthermore, the reference spectra of the constituents, i.e. wood fiber, wet blue leather particle, and lignin powder were recorded. The obtained data were treated and analyzed using chemometric methods (principal components analysis PCA and cluster analysis). An important finding was that the reference data were not directly represented in the panels' spectra, and the correlation matrix of the PCA was not applicable to the panel data. This indicated that chemical changes might take place during the pressing. After processing the panel Raman spectra with the help of PCA and cluster analysis, three distinctive clusters were obtained, discriminating wood, leather, and mixed regions. With the assigned spectral information, it was possible to create a spectral image of the surface.

“…Due to these advantages Raman spectroscopy was proven to be an interesting tool for the examination of works of art [1], in particular manuscripts. The Raman spectroscopic analysis of manuscripts has been mainly concerned with pigment identification, gathering information about the pigment palette [2,3] used for the illuminations or a pigment palette of a specific artist [4].…”

Download date: 09 May 2018Spectrochimica Acta Part A 83 (2011) 194-199 a b s t r a c tThe Breviary of Arnold of Egmond is one of the most wealthily illuminated fifteenth century manuscripts in the Northern Netherlands. The manuscript originally contained a number of full-page miniatures, which were all removed at an unknown date before 1902. The three remaining miniatures studied here, are today part of different collections, but they were brought together for an exhibition. Although several historical and art historical details of this breviary have extensively been studied, no examination of the materials used was undertaken before. Analytical techniques, such as mobile Raman spectroscopy, can be used to characterise and identify these materials in a non-invasive way. This paper presents the results of the in situ Raman analysis of three full-page miniatures of the Breviary of Arnold of Egmond. During this study, different pigments could be identified, such as lead white (2PbCO 3 ·Pb(OH) 2 ), lead-tin yellow type I (Pb 2 SnO 4 ), ultramarine (Na 8-10 Al 6 Si 6 O 24 S 2-4 ), massicot (PbO), vermilion (HgS) and red lead (Pb 3 O 4 ). Next to identification of the pigments, visual analysis was used to detect differences and similarities between the stylistic elements of the three analysed folios.
