“…In order to proceed to the characterization of an artwork, a multianalytical approach is needed, by combining techniques of elemental and molecular analysis, [5,6] and by joining spectroscopic techniques with optical techniques. [7 -9] Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) analysis has been demonstrated to be of great power for the noninvasive characterization of the artist's palette, being the technique of excellence for performing preliminary studies.…”

Two pairs of hand-painted Japanese folding screens were analyzed by Raman, energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, in order to characterize the materials used in their production. Japanese folding screens, called byobu, are one of the oldest and most highly refined forms of Japanese art, where paper and silk were used as materials for the artists to paint on. The two pairs of folding screens studied in this work also exhibit a golden background to create a luminous effect. These screens depict some of the Portuguese who arrived to Japan during the 16th century, initiating active commercial and cultural exchange between Japan and the West, called the Nanban Trade. Nowadays, only about 60 examples of this Namban genre remain, so the study of these two pairs is of utmost importance to the knowledge of this precious craft. The materials identified, such as gold, silver, malachite, azurite, vermillion, red lead, red madder, yellow ochre, white oyster shell, and carbon black, are part of the traditional Japanese palette.

“…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.…”

a b s t r a c t a r t i c l e i n f oA selection of historical textile fragments from the Venetian art dealer Moisè Michelangelo Guggenheim collection, ranging from XV to XVIII century, has been investigated by means of non-invasive techniques in order to reveal the coloring materials. Imaging was preliminarily used to visually investigate the selected artwork fragments in order to investigate their structure and conservation conditions; Fiber Optics Reflectance Spectroscopy (FORS) allowed recognizing the main natural dyestuffs, such as indigotin and anthraquinones-based compounds, except the yellow ones, difficultly identifiable when using this non-invasive technique. Collected spectroscopic data have been also elaborated by using a clustering algorithm that permitted to group collected spectra on the basis of similar properties and evidencing their inflection point wavelength as the most influencing feature.

“…EDS microanalysis detects P element as one component of egg yolk (phosphoprotein and phospholipid) [20] and ATR-FTIR spectrum exhibits phosphate band at 1030e1019 cm À1 [21]. ATR-FTIR analysis exhibits bands for animal glue at 3396 cm À1 y(NeH), 2919, 2852 cm À1 y(CeH), 1620 cm À1 y(C]O), 1541, 667 cm À1 d(NeH) and 1418 cm À1 d(CeH) [11,22,23].…”
