Researchers from IFN-CNR and ISTM-CNR were joined by Dr. Valentina Capogosso and Anna Cesaratto (Politecnico di Milano). Micro-samples of Lefranc pigments and paint from the Grubicy Benvenuti collection were analysed using X-radiation to generate micro-X ray Fluorescence and X-ray Absorption maps of samples. Impurities in white pigment samples including Cr, Co and other metals were highlighted and shed light on the production of pigments and attribution of samples.
