The Manufacture of Lake Pigments from Artificial Colours
In 1900, Francis Herbert Jennison’s book The Manufacture of Lake Pigments from Artificial Colours was published in London. In the early 20th century, the technical literature focussing on synthetic dyes mainly dealt with their use for dyeing. Conversely, the literature on lake pigment manufacture is less comprehensive, and Jennison’s publication was the first monograph on this topic. His book comprises descriptions of the dyes, substrates, and va…
Wall Drawing #736
Sol LeWitt, a pioneer of conceptual art, created during his career over 1350 wall drawings, including the Wall Drawing #736 (1993) at the Center for Contemporary Art Luigi Pecci in Prato (Prato, Italy). The painting, executed by Andrea Marescalchi and Antony Sansotta under LeWitt’s instructions, features a grid of coloured rectangles obtained by overlapping different layers of inks. During a 2021 restoration by the Wall Paintings and Stuccoes Dep…
Linking historical recipes and ageing mechanisms
Several manuscripts and drawings of our historical and artistic heritage have been produced with iron gall inks. To obtain an iron gall ink, ancient treatises cite the addition of ferrous sulphate and gum Arabic to a decoction of oak galls as a basic procedure. Owing to the development of synthetic chemistry, iron gall ink recipes were improved with new materials and procedures in the late 19th and early 20th century. Notably, many conservation i…
