| Art Objects |
| |
|
|
| Start date or starting event |
7 th month |
| Activity Type |
RDT/Innovation activities |
|
| |
|
|
 |
. To develop a methodology for accurate identification of natural organic dyestuffs-pigments, at a molecular level.
. To develop a methodology for identification of principal colouring components
. To analyse and identify the colouring components contained in art objects, including icons, paintings, textiles and papers typical for the Mediterranean area.
. To clarify the colouring technologies used in art objects of the Mediterranean area and compare them with corresponding technologies developed in western Europe |
 |
. Instrumental analysis of reference samples (dyes and coloured objects) as well as corresponding mixtures of standards by UV-VIS, TLC, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy, chromatography / mass spectrometry methods such as GC-MS, HPLC-DAD-MS, with the latter (HPLC) being the most applicable tool for molecular separation and identification.
. Compilation of a protocol describing the steps for accurate, qualitative and quantitative, analysis.
. Analysis and identification of natural dyestuffs (and corresponding pigments) contained in artefacts representative for cultural entities of the Mediterranean area and time periods and preferably with maximum art-historical and relative technological information.
. Identification of the dyestuff origin i.e. specifying the exact type of plant, insect or mollusk from which the dyestuff was extracted. Quantification of the results is needed to determine the dyestuff composition.
. Comparison of the analytical results with the historical data such as date of creation, style of the creator etc.
. Clarification of the colouring technology (dyestuffs, style, colour pallete). Correlation of the acquired results with the available art-historical information.
. Comparison of the results with corresponding studies performed in art objects of the western Europe.
. Documentation of the results in order to be used as recommendations for conservation and (probably) restoration strategies. |

D4.1. Methodology for the identification and quantification of natural organic dyestuffs-pigments and corresponding principal components.
D4.2. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of natural dyestuffs contained in art objects of the Mediterranean area.
D4.3. Description of colouring ancient technologies typical for the Mediterranean area. Update of the materials selection (D2.2 and D2.3) |
 |
. Methodology for the identification and quantification of natural organic dyestuffs-pigments and corresponding principal components assessment and evaluation. Expected result: Establishment of a methodology for dyestuff analysis at a molecular level.
. Readjustment-update of the materials (dyestuffs-pigments and corresponding standards) selection, made in WP2. Final decision. Expected result: No major deviations from the materials list composed in WP2. |
For STREPs/STIPs each WP must relate to one (and only one) of the following three possible Activity Types: RTD/Innovation activities, Demonstration activities, Management activities.
Milestones are points where major results have successfully been achieved as the basis for the next phase of work, or which serve as control points at which decisions are needed; for example concerning which of several technologies will be adopted as the basis for the next phase of the project. |
