Making Purple: The Science of Art | National Gallery, London
In painting, the colour purple was traditionally achieved by artists mixing red and blue pigments together.발음듣기
At the National Gallery Scientific Department a tiny sample of paint, usually taken from the edge or from underneath the frame of a picture, is immersed in resin, dried, and then polished to produce a cross-section.발음듣기
This sample clearly shows separate blue and red pigment particles. Other methods of examination tell us even more.발음듣기
This scanning electron microscope, coupled with an energy dispersive x-ray analyser can determine the composition of the pigments.발음듣기
The blue pigment in this purple paint contains copper, identifying it as the mineral azurite.발음듣기
The red pigment contains aluminium, which is characteristic of what are known as 'red lake' pigments.발음듣기
The colour in red lake comes from the dyestuff in insects such as kermes or cochineal, or plants such as madder root.발음듣기
Analysing a red lake using high performance liquid chromatography can identify which of these materials were used.발음듣기
To understand the ways in which a colour could have been obtained, members of the Department use historical recipes to prepare pigments.발음듣기
In this portrait of a young princess by Jan Gossaert the blue pattern on the sleeves was originally purple.발음듣기
The red lake pigment Gossaert mixed with blue azurite has almost entirely faded and the original colour is now only visible at the edge, where the paint has been protected from light.발음듣기
The Scientific Department's contribution to understanding the materials, behavior and stability of colour helps conservators and curators not only understand how the paintings in the collection have changed over time.발음듣기
