In an interdisciplinary collaboration, restorers, art historians, and scientists examined Guilio Romano’s The Madonna with the Wash-Basin of 1525 (Dresden State Art Collections). Insights into the painting technique along with art historical comparisons provided the opportunity for a better understanding of the painting’s genesis, in particular concerning an early reworking of the background by the artist. A recovery and reconstruction of the earlier version of the background is now possible. The discovery of zinc in distinct passages of the painting, as well as the grey-black pigment stibnite and glass particles used as a supplement in paint layers are of special interest. The technological investigation initiated a discussion about the circumstances of the revision, as well as the painting’s relation to Vasari’s Lives of Artists.
Die Mitte des 16. Jahrhunderts gegründete Dresdener Goldschmiedeinnung, geriet im 19. Jahrhundert in wirtschaftliche Schwierigkeiten, was letztendlich zu ihrer Auflösung führte. Im Zuge dessen wurde 1872 auch der historische Innungspokal für 80 Taler an das Grüne Gewölbe in Dresden verkauft. Sowohl das Empfehlungsschreiben des damaligen Direktors als auch die Zustimmung zum zügigen Ankauf dürften Beleg dafür sein, dass man damals der festen Überzeugung war, ein etwa 250 Jahre altes, authentisches Silbergefäß erworben zu haben. Die aktuelle kunstwissenschaftliche Begutachtung des Innungspokals lässt begründete Fragen zum Alter und zur Originalität des Objektes, welches heute in der Sammlung des Grünen Gewölbes präsentiert wird, aufkommen. Die kunst-wissenschaftliche und kunsttechnologische Expertise reicht hier allein ftir eine gesicherte Altersbestimmung nicht aus und soll deshalb durch naturwissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zur Materialzusammensetzung unterstützt werden.
We report the results of an analytical investigation
on 416 silver-copper coins stemming from the Ottoman
Empire (end of 16th and beginning of 17th centuries), using
synchrotron micro X-ray fluorescence analysis (SRXRF).
In the past, analyses had already been conducted with energy
dispersive X-ray fluorescence analysis (EDXRF), scanning
electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry
(SEM/EDX) and proton induced X-ray emission spectroscopy (PIXE).With this combination of techniques it was
possible to confirm the fineness of the coinage as well as to
study the provenance of the alloy used for the coins.
For the interpretation of the data statistical analysis
(principal component analysis—PCA) has been performed.
A definite local assignment was explored and significant
clustering was obtained regarding the minor and trace elements
composing the coin alloys.
This contribution compares traditional cleaning and laser methods. Partial laser cleaning with a nanosecond pulse laser (wavelength of 532 nm) has proved very promising for future application in paper conservation-restoration. Traditional cleaning methods are not always sufficient or successful in surface cleaning of objects of art. Comparative studies of traditional paper cleaning methods and laser cleaning were made on several historic picture postcards printed with the chromolithography technique.
