A comparative study of four Etruscan terracotta urns from Chiusi, Italy, investigates their ancient polychromy and the urns’ trajectories through changing modern-day art market practices and museum conservation policies. The objects’ shared moldmade motif of a specific scene from Sophocles’ play Antigone makes this group particularly suitable for illustrating differences and similarities in their past and present materiality, uncovered by multisp…
Preliminary Investigations into the Alteration of Cadmium Orange Restoration Paint on an Ancient Greek Terracotta Krater
In preparation for exhibition, an ancient Greek terracotta krater received treatment which included selective in-painting with cadmium orange (CdSSe). After one year on display the object displayed disfiguring alteration in select areas of restoration. Cross-section analysis of samples taken from the object revealed that alteration only occurred in areas where the paint was in direct contact with darkened and abraded areas of the terracotta surfa…
Scientific characterisation of the dyes, pigments, fibres and wood used in the production of barkcloth from Pacific islands
Sargent’s Painting Materials
Several paintboxes and palettes used by John Singer Sargent, now in collections in both the USA and UK because he worked in both countries, have been studied technically. The results are compared to the artist’s training and oil painting practice over his lifetime, elucidated in a recent study. Sargent’s selection of materials and use of portable gear, modular easels and palettes for outdoor work are contextualized within the practice of coeval E…
