“…Cada amostra foi dividida em duas partes, colocadas sobre uma lâmina e molhadas com uma gota de água destilada. Após a evaporação da água, com as fibras já dissociadas, adicionaram-se os reagentes Lofton-Merritt e Herzberg [9]. A observação por OM foi efetuada num microscópio Nikon Eclipse E400 POL, com uma câmara acoplada DinoEye C-Mount Camera AM7023CT(R4), da DinoLite.…”

Processional banners are one of the most recurrent symbols used in processions and religious festivities, incorporating them since the Middle Age. As these pieces are composed of different materials and subjected to constant handling, they often exhibit severe degradation, posing as a challenge for its conservation and restoration. This case study is focused on a processional banner, presumably from the 18th century, depicting, on one side, Saint Michael Archangel and, on the other, Our Lady of the Rosary. The intervention was supported by several analytical techniques such as textile fibres analysis, optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results provided a better insight on the technological features of the object.

This paper describes the combined use of several analytical methods to characterise the painting technology used in two socialist realism portraits of national heroes from World War II that are now housed in the Historical Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Inspection under UV light has shown that there was no previous retouching or overpainting on either painting. Microchemical tests identified the type of canvas. The radiograms indicated whether pigments with lower or higher atomic masses were used and how well the ground was rubbed among the threads of the canvas. A better penetration of the ground into the canvas and layers of oil dye that were applied to both sides of Painting 1 contributed to its better protection against high humidity. TLC revealed the type of ground on both paintings as a classic chalk-glue ground. The high humidity was responsible for the occurrence of metal soaps on Painting 2, which were confirmed by FTIR. The XRF analysis was used to describe the pigment palette, trace the causes of existing damages, and facilitate retouching. The results of this integrated diagnostic approach were used to optimise the conservation and better understand the features and techniques used in the creation of Bosnian socialistic artwork.
