Behind the mask − Archaeometric analysis of four gilded Romano-Egyptian mummy masks from the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen
Experimental investigation of environmental and material factors in darkening of historic and modern lead white
Modern lead white pigments darken more intensely than their historical counterparts. • Higher hydrocerussite content and smaller particles enhance lead white darkening. • Pigment-to-binder ratio strongly influences darkening rate in both lead white types. • Material properties, not temperature and relative humidity, are linked to darkening. • Pollution control is key to lead white preservation, climate control is secondary. The progressive darken…
Crack morphology and its correlation with ground materials used in paintings by Danish portrait painter Jens Juel
Jens Juel (1745–1802) was a prominent Danish portrait painter, mainly known for creating over 600 portraits during his prolific four-decade career. This study investigated 22 canvas paintings by the artist, the majority of which are well preserved despite displaying typical signs of ageing like cracking. Crack formation in paintings results from a combination of external factors, such as environmental conditions, and inherent properties, includin…
Multi-analytical characterisation of red colouration on decorated ostrich eggshells from the Middle Bronze Age in Bahrain
From microfibre cloths to poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogels – conservation cleaning of plastics heritage
The Digital Social Economy
Digitalisation and other advanced technologies are increasingly reshaping our economy, including social economy enterprises. Disruptive technologies can inspire the social economy and vice versa. Blockchain for instance carries an intrinsic decentralisation approach that could have many implications for services and generate a high social added value through traceability, fair pricing, commonly recognised and verified standards and democratizatio…
The rarest blue
The current interdisciplinary study of a funerary portrait has provided the first identification of a blue pigment on Palmyrene sculpture. The exceptional attestation of lapis lazuli on the examined portrait confirms the use of this highly valuable semiprecious stone in ancient polychromy, which was previously thought to be a later addition to the painter's palette. Considering that the archaeological record contains numerous minor objects carved…
A comparative study by infrared spectroscopy and optical oxygen sensing to identify and quantify oxidation of Baltic amber in different ageing conditions
