Barbara Sokołowska Brukalski. Graphic Analysis of the House on Niegolewskiego Street
2017
The project analyzed in this paper by the critical and digital redrawing is the House on Niegolewskiego Street of 1927–28, designed by Barbara Sokołowska for her and her husband, Stanislaw Brukalski, inspired by the Neoplasticism ideas, the paintings of Mondrian and De Stijl. In its details the house seems to recall that one in Utrecht by G.T. Rietveld of 1924, with a very large living room, a studio overlooking a double height and a spiral stair connecting the two floors into one space defined by translated planes and pure volumes.
Multitechnique diagnostic analysis and 3D surveying prior to the restoration of St. Michael defeating Evil painting by Mattia Preti
2021
In this study, a multimethodological analysis involving optical and physical/chemical diagnostic techniques and 3D photogrammetric survey was successfully applied, for the first time, on the large oil on canvas St. Michael defeating Evil painting by Mattia Preti, located inside the Church of the Immaculate Conception of Sarria (Floriana) in Malta. Pigmenting agents, binder media, and raw materials were first characterized, both at elemental and molecular scales, through X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), optical stereo microscopy (SM), scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and gas chroma…
Applications of the X-ray fluorescence analysis to the cultural patrimony of the Comunidad Valenciana (Spain): Painting, metal and paper
1999
We present examples of the application of the X-ray fluorescence (XRF) to the study of the artistic and cultural patrimony of the Comunidad Valenciana in the following areas: a) Valencian paintings of the XV and XVI centuries; b) silver ornaments coming from Iberian towns (s. III b.C.); c) ink and paper samples in manuscripts and engravings of the XVII and XIX centuries. The non destructive analyses are carried out “in situ” using a XRF system that consists of a tube of X-rays of 50 kV and 1 mA, and a detector of Si(Li) with an energy resolution 140 eV (FWHM at 5.9 keV).
Nuevas pinturas europeas en el MOBAT (Chile)
2018
El MOBAT es uno de los espacios culturales más significados de Chile, por la historia que envuelve su emblemático edificio como por la cantidad y calidad de obras artísticas y piezas históricas que atesora. Sin embargo, desde el terremoto de 2010, permanece cerrado al público y pendiente de ser restaurado y rehabilitado. En este trabajo completamos otros estudios anteriormente publicados sobre la colección de pintura europea que el museo alberga entre sus muros. The MOBAT is one of the most significant cultural spaces in Chile, due to the history that surrounds its emblematic building as well as the quantity and quality of artistic works and historical pieces that it treasures. However, sin…
La configuración de una colección nobiliaria. El ejemplo de la Casa de Parcent (1656-1927)
2016
El presente artículo analiza la configuración de la colección de arte de los condes de Parcent, centrándonos en aquellos bienes artísticos cuya presencia es más significativa en los inventarios de la Casa: pinturas, tapices, joyas y plata. Para analizar esta colección, nos hemos centrado en el origen italiano de este linaje, su parentesco con el papa Inocencio XI y su actividad como prestamistas, como hechos diferenciadores de su faceta coleccionista.A lo que se añade la incorporación a la Casa, del condado de Contamina y el marquesado de Fuente el Sol, incorporando importantes conjuntos artísticos, tanto muebles como inmuebles.; Questo articolo analizza la configurazione della collezione d…
Eugène Ciceri (1813-1890) : Peindre, lithographier et enseigner le paysage au XIXe siècle
2020
The primary aim of the thesis is to expose the artist’s main biographical lines, which will appear as partly linked to his family background, involving him in the artistic world very early and influencing his life course, on a private but mostly on a professional level, and this throughout a long period covering three quarters of the 19th century.In the first part of the thesis the work of Eugène Ciceri as a painter will be explored - a work over which a certain amount of confusion has remained until now - in order to detect its main strengths and show how the artist develops his own grammar of landscaping. At first described as dense and diversified, his lithographic production will then b…
Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Microspectroscopy of 20th Century Russian Oil Paintings: Problem of Dating
2015
Analysis of the IR spectra of samples from 230 Russian oil paintings of the 20th century is used to propose a procedure for the threshold estimation of the age of paintings based on measured parameters (intensity ratios of spectral bands). The bands of compounds that are formed upon interaction of pigment (zinc white) with oil are used for dating.
Art Painting Testing with Terahertz Pulse and Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave
2017
Paintings of individuals or collections undergo aging over time. The work of art restorers consists of repairing these defects using techniques that respect the history of the work. Ultraviolet, infrared and visible light and X-rays are well known techniques for analyzing these defects, but Terahertz is also increasingly used. Several works have shown that it is possible to detect hidden layers and various defects via terahertz pulses. In a previous work, we have shown that it is possible to use terahertz radiation to detect defects in the context of a restoration of a painting with a speed increase compared to time domain imaging.
Una propuesta relectura de las pinturas del camarín de la Santa Faz de Alicante
2020
Los óleos con “históricas escenas” de la Santa Faz realizados por Juan Conchillos Falcó (1641-1711) para el camarín del Monasterio de la Santa Verónica (Alicante) son uno de los elementos más destacados de su producción. Sin embargo, pese a su excelente estado de conservación, su importancia y, sobre todo, su gran narratividad, apenas han sido estudiados. Por ello, en las siguientes páginas se propone una nueva interpretación del significado de las mismas en base a las fuentes de la época y las circunstancias en que fueron, intentando analizar su significado y su importancia para la reivindicación de la latría absoluta a la santa Faz.
 
Photodegradation of selected phthalates on mural painting surfaces under UV light irradiation
2014
Abstract The esters of phthalic acid are considered as hazardous pollutants due to their mutagenicity, carcinogenicity and are also classified as endocrine disruptor chemicals. Several compounds of this class of substances for decades, and probably even now, were used as softeners in water-based synthetic paintings. Surfaces and structures, such as house walls painted with phthalates based paintings, can be a concern to construction workers engaged in demolition, restore and paint removal activities if they are not protected from hazardous dust inhalation. In this paper we report the results of an investigation about phthalate ester degradation by direct UV irradiation at 254 nm. The result…
