“…The complete chromatographic and mass spectrometric conditions for both the analytical procedures are reported in [12,13,39]. For Superficie 207, eight samples were taken, one of which was the industrial preparation layer taken from the lower edge (207-industrial preparation), and seven samples were related to the paint film (207-blue, 207-fuchsia, 207-gray, 207-brown, 207-beige, 207-white, 207-black).…”

“…The assessment of the composition of paint materials in modern paintings is fundamental to better understand the history of artistic techniques, the degradation phenomena [10], and the risk factors affecting modern art [11][12][13][14]. In addition, the results of analytical surveys on modern paints serve as the basis for attribution and authentication studies [15,16], and to plan restoration and preventive conservation strategies [17,18].…”

“…HPLC-HRMS was used to characterize the lipid profiles of the paint samples in terms of the triglyceride (TAs) composition, thus enabling us to investigate the origin of the lipid materials based on the analysis of the acylglycerols [12,13,33,34].…”

We present the results of a diagnostic campaign on three of Giuseppe Capogrossi’s abstract paintings from the 1950s and 1960s, conserved at the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rome. Non-invasive investigations by reflection FT-IR spectroscopy were carried out, followed by micro-destructive laboratory analyses using Py-GC-MS, and HPLC-ESI-Q-ToF. The investigations focused on identifying the binders used for both the preparation and the pictorial layers. In two of the paintings investigated, an industrial preparation was identified based on egg yolk, mixed with other organic materials (acryl resin, oil, animal glue). The paint media include the use of both oil and alkyd paint. In one of the three paintings, the presence of a styrene-acryl resin was observed. The results show the simultaneous use of traditional and innovative materials, confirming the complexity of the period in which the artist was active, characterized by the technical experimentation of both the artists and manufacturers. The research also contributes to a better understanding of Giuseppe Capogrossi’s artistic profile, from the point of view of executive techniques.

“…The successful restoration of artworks requires an in-depth analysis of the pieces. For instance, with the analysis of old paintings so much information can be attained such as the pigments used in the piece of art and changes that may occur in these pigments over time (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6), organic and inorganic substances (7)(8)(9)(10)(11), the binders (12)(13), the areas with retouches or patches on these pieces, the areas with varnish, structural deteriorations (such as cracking, flaking, peeling, and tearing) (14)(15), painting technique of the artist (16) and the types of the varnish (17)(18)(19) or the canvas that were used (such as silk, linen, hemp, cotton, jute) (20) which are of great importance for the restoration of these paintings. One can even have an idea about the palette of the artist given that he or she has the chance to analyze several pieces of art that belonged to that artist (21).…”

The Alphabet Reform painting which shows Ataturk teaching the new alphabet is important for the history of the Republic of Turkey. This painting was made by Nazmi Ziya GÜRAN in 1933. The painting is now maintained by the Ministry of Interior. In this work, the Alphabet Reform painting was analyzed for characterization and restoration purposes. The fabric of the canvas, pigments (organic-inorganic) and the binder of paint were characterized by Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy-attenuated total reflectance (ATR-FTIR), scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) and highperformance liquid chromatography-coupled with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) analysis methods. The CIEL*a*b* color parameters of the paint were determined by color measurement spectrophotometer. According to the results, the canvas was found to be of fibers of vegetable origin and the binders were determined to be linseed oil and dammar varnish. Red alizarin (madder lake organic pigment) and dark blue ultramarine pigments were detected as the organic pigments while CdS (yellow), Pb red (flesh color), PbCO3 (white), ZnO (white), BaSO4 (white), FeO (brown) and Cr2O3 (green color) were detected as the inorganic ones.

Lipid characterization in art and archeology, together with the study of lipid degradation processes, is an important research area in heritage science. Lipid‐based materials have been used as food since ancient times, but also employed as illuminants and as ingredients in cosmetic, ritual, and pharmaceutical preparations. Both animal and plant lipids have also been processed to produce materials used in art and crafts, such as paint binders, varnishes, waterproofing agents, and coatings. Identifying the origin of the lipid materials is challenging when they are found in association with artistic historical objects. This is due to the inherent complex composition of lipids, their widespread occurrence, and the chemical alterations induced by ageing. The most common approach for lipid characterization in heritage objects entails profiling fatty acids by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry after saponification or transesterification. New developments in high‐performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (HPLC‐MS) for the characterization of acylglycerols, together with more efficient sample treatments, have fostered the introduction of liquid chromatography for characterizing the lipid profile in heritage objects. This review reports the latest developments and applications of HPLC‐MS for the characterization of lipid materials in the field of heritage science. We describe the various approaches for sample pretreatment and highlight the advantages and limitations of HPLC‐MS in the analysis of paint and archeological samples. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
