Abstract

Naples yellow was widely used across different types of artwork. Technical studies identified a binary Pb–Sb type as well as modified ternary variants with either zinc or tin in the structure. Although these variants were the object of previous experimental studies, a better understanding of the impact of the glazing procedure on the chromatic, chemical and crystallographic characteristics of the pigment is still lacking. In this work, several historical Naples yellow recipes were re-worked and subsequently applied and fired on test tiles, over a white glaze. The results show that the interaction between pigment and glaze produces important modifications to the colour, chemistry and structure of the pigment. Such modifications will strongly impact the reconstruction of historical recipes, with major consequences for identifying Naples yellow variants on artwork and investigating artistic practices.

那不勒斯黄历史配方的实验性再创作以及上釉工艺对历史艺术品现场分析的影响

那不勒斯黄被广泛应用于不同类型的艺术品中。技术研究发现了一种铅锑二元型颜料，以及结构中含有锌或锡的改良三元型颜料。尽管这些变体是以前实验研究的对象，但人们仍然缺乏对上釉程序对颜料色度、化学和结晶学特性影响的更好了解。在这项工作中，我们对几种历史悠久的那不勒斯黄配方进行了重新加工，随后将其涂在白釉上并在测试砖上进行烧制。结果表明，颜料和釉料之间的相互作用会对颜料的颜色、化学和结构产生重要的改变。这些变化将对历史配方的重建产生重大影响，并对识别艺术品上的那不勒斯黄变体和研究艺术实践产生重大影响。

期刊介绍： The Journal of the Spanish Ceramic and Glass Society publishes scientific articles and communications describing original research and reviews relating to ceramic materials and glasses. The main interests are on novel generic science and technology establishing the relationships between synthesis, processing microstructure and properties of materials. Papers may deal with ceramics and glasses included in any of the conventional categories: structural, functional, traditional, composites and cultural heritage. The main objective of the Journal of the Spanish Ceramic and Glass Society is to sustain a high standard research quality by means of appropriate reviewing procedures.
