Critical Analysis of the Materials Used by the Venetian Artist Guido Cadorin (1892–1976) during the Mid-20th Century, Using a Multi-Analytical Approach

The present study sought to expand on and confirm the already available information painting materials used by Venetian artist Guido Cadorin (1892–1976). A multi-analytical approach was employed in of six tempera grassa easel paintings one casein a panel signed belonging International Gallery Modern Art Ca’ Pesaro Venice, Italy, which dated from 1921 1951. aim research identify materials, observe evolution color palette through time assess state conservation. Non-invasive imaging and/or spectroscopic techniques were employed, such as hyperspectral spectroscopy (HSI) Raman spectroscopy. Microsamples also collected edges detached areas canvases that studied three non-destructive techniques, namely optical microscopy (OM), energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence spectrometry (EDXRF) attenuated total reflection fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR), destructive technique, gas chromatography-mass (GC/MS). results allowed inference render artist’s paints, composition preparation layer, characterization binding media varnish layers. Moreover, conservation artworks determined. Thus, outcome this enriches painter’s profile might aid Italy planning future treatments accordance with guidelines good practices art
