Unexpected Findings in 16th Century Wall Paintings: Identification of Aragonite and Unusual Pigments

Abstract: Sixteenth century wall paintings were analyzed from a church in an advanced state of decay in the Apennines of central Italy, now a remote area but once located along the salt routes from the Po Valley to the Ligurian Sea. Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with a microprobe were used to identify the painting materials, as input for possible future restoration. Together with the pigments traditionally used for wall painting, such as ochre, ultramari… Show more

“…Pigments in wall paintings are also the main subject treated by Rampazzi et al in their investigation on 16th-century Italian wall paintings [2]. In addition to summarising evidence of a traditional palette of inorganic pigments, such as red and yellow ochres, ultramarine blue, bianco Sangiovanni, cinnabar/vermilion and azurite, other pigments, such as clinochlore, Brunswick green and ultramarine yellow were detected in the upper layers of samples that also showed complex stratigraphy.…”
