Investigation of Artists' Working Practice, Surface Texture, and Pigment Color Changes in Traditional Oil Paintings by Raman Spectroscopy

摘要

In this paper, the results of several selected case studies undertaken in collaboration with conservators, curators, and conservation scientists will be presented to illustrate and highlight the potential and limitations of Raman spectroscopy to shed light onto artists' working practice, as well as to characterize deterioration processes in traditional oil paintings.
