Confocal and angular-resolved XRF
Cultural heritage artworks are complex heterogeneous objects, often with intricate stratigraphies. The study of such intricate strata traditionally relies on invasive cross-sectional analyses involving microsampling. These destructive approaches, nevertheless, raise conservation concerns and should be minimized. Nonetheless, and although a growing demand for mobile non-invasive methods exists in heritage science, few are able to directly and non-…
Lab-based Xanes spectroscopy for chemical and structural characterization of pigments in cultural heritage science
An Invisible Archive
The twelfth-century Beneventan manuscripts of the Cathedral Chapter Library of Benevento constitute a largely understudied corpus of medieval illumination, whose material composition has not yet been investigated. This paper presents an in situ non-invasive multi-analytical investigation of three of these codices: Ms. 7 and Ms. 17 (Sanctorale), and Ms. 19 (Missal–Breviary) assigned to two different production environments, through a workflow comb…
Egyptian blue in Etruscan funerary wall paintings
The Monterozzi Necropolis in Tarquinia (Italy), a UNESCO World Heritage site, is one of the most important contexts for Etruscan wall painting, with over 100 decorated tombs dating from the 7th to the 3rd century BCE. Despite its significance, the materials and manufacturing techniques of these murals remain partially investigated. To address this, the ARANTH campaign (Archaeometric Research on Ancient Tarquinian Heritage), promoted by PACT (Arch…
Non-Invasive Assessment of Water-Based Gel Cleaning on a Capogrossi Oil Painting Using NMR-Mouse
This study investigates water-based gel and gel-like cleaning treatments on Superficie 553, an oil painting on canvas by Giuseppe Capogrossi, using portable NMR to assess their impact. The objective was to evaluate the effects of four cleaning systems composed of a buffer solution released in free form and combined with xanthan gum, a cross-linked silicone polymer gel, and an agar gel matrix. Two distinct NMR experiments were conducted. The first…
Novel mobile 3D confocal X-ray fluorescence (3D CXRF) scanner for the non-invasive characterization of layered cultural heritage artworks
Novel, vacuum-free, mobile 3D Confocal XRF scanner for non-invasive heritage studies. • Fast 3D volumetric elemental imaging with dwell times down to 200 ms. • Validated on standards, mock-ups, and four heritage objects. • Unlocks in situ non-invasive depth-resolved 3D CXRF in cultural heritage. The study of cultural heritage artworks presenting a complex stratigraphy traditionally relies on invasive cross-sectional analyses involving microsampli…
Exploring Pottery Function and Cooking Practices in Bronze Age Sicily
Despite the extended application of GC-MS for detecting organic residues from archaeological ceramics, the potential of gas chromatography–high-resolution and accuracy mass spectrometry (GC-HRAMS) has not yet been fully explored. This study conducted lipid residue analysis (using an Exactive Orbitrap GC-MS system) of dolia and jars from two Early and Middle Bronze Age (2200-1450 BC) archaeological sites in south-eastern Sicily, comparing chromato…
Near-infrared focus-stacking photogrammetry for surface morphology analysis and text recovery in Herculaneum papyri
Greek papyri are an important source of information about materials and manufacture of ancient bookrolls, and the texts they transmit contribute to our knowledge of classical literature and history. Nevertheless, access to their contents is not always effortless, such as in the case of carbonised Herculaneum papyri, where the black charred substrate is morphologically complex and the text on it is indistinguishable. Herculaneum papyri– the only c…
Raphael seen through MA-XRF
Artworks in the Capodimonte collection trace Raphael’s career and technical progress. • High-res MA-XRF scanning redefines the master’s distinctive material features. • The study clarifies if the workshop imitated/diverged from the master’s style. • Chemical data reveal Raphael’s experimentation in attributed workshop paintings. Raphael’s paintings in the Capodimonte collection, ‘Museo e Real Bosco di Capodimonte’ in Naples, offer the opportunity…
Multimodal and multiscale non-invasive study of Leonardo’s mural painting in Sala delle Asse (Milan)
Studying ancient Egyptian copper-alloy objects via X-ray diffraction and Machine Learning
Naples Yellow Revisited
In a recent non-destructive analytical campaign at Museo Civico, Castello Ursino, in Catania, Italy, several paintings in the permanent collection were investigated by MA-XRF scanning, with a special focus on Matthias Stomer’s production. On one depiction of the Mocking of Christ (ca. 1640) donated to the municipality of Catania by G.B. Finocchiaro in 1826, the analysis documented the use of Naples yellow. Sb with Pb was detected in yellow areas …

Identifying Brazilwood’s Marker Component, Urolithin C, in Historical Textiles by Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
The fugitive nature of the colorants obtained from sappanwood (Caesalpinia sappan L.) or the South American species commonly known as ‘brazilwoods’ (including other Caesalpinia species and Paubrasilia echinata (Lam.)) makes the identification of brazilwood dyes and pigments in historic artefacts analytically challenging. This difficulty has been somewhat alleviated recently by the recognition and structural elucidation of a relatively stable mark…

Discovering Giuseppe Capogrossi
We present the results of a diagnostic campaign on three of Giuseppe Capogrossi’s abstract paintings from the 1950s and 1960s, conserved at the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rome. Non-invasive investigations by reflection FT-IR spectroscopy were carried out, followed by micro-destructive laboratory analyses using Py-GC-MS, and HPLC-ESI-Q-ToF. The investigations focused on identifying the binders used for both the preparation …

Cultural and Historical Implications of Non-destructive Analyses on Mesoamerican Codices in the Bodleian Libraries
Disclosing the composition of historical commercial felt-tip pens used in art by integrated vibrational spectroscopy and pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry
Further Insight into Mesoamerican Paint Technology
Here, we report on the analytical findings and their cultural implications of a multidisciplinary study of the pre‐Columbian Codex Fejérváry‐Mayer. Today conserved at the World Museum in Liverpool, it is one of the finest Mesoamerican codices among the few extant. Thanks to the exploitation of non‐invasive analytical methodologies accessible through the MOLAB European mobile facility, the study allowed us to disclose the chemical composition of t…
Molab
MOLAB est un ensemble unique d’instruments mobiles intégrés créé en Italie en 2001 et disponible à un accès transnational depuis 2004 dans le cadre des programmes européens Eu-ARTECH (6e PC) et CHARISMA (7e PC). Son utilisation a démontré au cours des dix dernières années que l’on peut obtenir des résultats analytiques de qualité par des travaux in situ sur différents types d’objets du patrimoine sans avoir à prélever des échantillons ou à les tr…
