Session Basics

Session Type: Symposia Session Number: 1020 Session Title: Recovering the Original Colors of Paintings through Analytical Chemistry Room: 263     Session Date: 03/10/2015 - Tuesday Day of Week: Tuesday Morning/Afternoon: Morning Overview: Colors observed today in paintings are not always those desired by the old Masters. Many pigments aged catastrophically: fading, reactions with light, humidity or binders, etc. Modern analytical methods and new chemical concepts provide better understanding about such complex chemical phenomena which can thus be virtually “inverted” to restore original paintings colors. Session Organizer(s): Christian A Amatore, Philippe Walter
