Abstract

ABSTRACT The panel depicting The Descent from the Cross, painted in 1620 by the Portuguese artist Pedro Nunes (1586-1637), shows a clear Italian formal influence. The painter’s colour palette was identified in another paper. The panel is now investigated from a technical perspective, discussing aspects related to the support, preparatory system, and paint layer build-up. The research is based on the visual inspection of the painting’s surface with complementary imaging techniques and on the analysis of the materials from the preparatory layers with microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. The characterisation of the painting technique revealed an ingenious use of colour that is based on the understanding of the optical and handling properties of oil paint. This knowledge is illustrated by the painter’s ability to exploit and combine a range of different oil painting techniques, such as glazing, scumbling, wet-in-wet, or wet-in-dry painting; by his formulation of a wide variety of pigment mixtures; and by his use of diverse and often complex layering systems - some quite unconventional for Portuguese painting practice. The material and technical originality of this painting clearly reflects Nunes’ international Roman experience and his desire to update the Portuguese mainstream practice of his time.

意大利对葡萄牙风格主义绘画的影响(二):是形象问题还是技术问题?

摘要葡萄牙艺术家佩德罗·努涅斯（1586-1637）于1620年绘制的《十字架的后裔》面板，显示出明显的意大利形式影响。画家的调色板在另一篇论文中被确认。该小组现在从技术角度进行调查，讨论与支撑、准备系统和油漆层构建有关的方面。这项研究的基础是用互补的成像技术对画作表面进行视觉检查，并用显微镜和光谱技术对预备层的材料进行分析。绘画技术的特点揭示了对色彩的巧妙运用，这是基于对油画的光学和处理特性的理解。这一知识体现在画家利用和结合一系列不同油画技术的能力上，如上釉、凿毛、湿中湿或干中湿；他配制了多种颜料混合物；以及他对多样且往往复杂的分层系统的使用——其中一些对于葡萄牙绘画实践来说是非常非传统的。这幅画在材料和技术上的独创性清楚地反映了努涅斯的国际罗马经历，以及他更新当时葡萄牙主流实践的愿望。

期刊介绍： Studies in Conservation is the premier international peer-reviewed journal for the conservation of historic and artistic works. The intended readership includes the conservation professional in the broadest sense of the term: practising conservators of all types of object, conservation, heritage and museum scientists, collection or conservation managers, teachers and students of conservation, and academic researchers in the subject areas of arts, archaeology, the built heritage, materials history, art technological research and material culture. Studies in Conservation publishes original work on a range of subjects including, but not limited to, examination methods for works of art, new research in the analysis of artistic materials, mechanisms of deterioration, advances in conservation practice, novel methods of treatment, conservation issues in display and storage, preventive conservation, issues of collection care, conservation history and ethics, and the history of materials and technological processes. Scientific content is not necessary, and the editors encourage the submission of practical articles, review papers, position papers on best practice and the philosophy and ethics of collecting and preservation, to help maintain the traditional balance of the journal. Whatever the subject matter, accounts of routine procedures are not accepted, except where these lead to results that are sufficiently novel and/or significant to be of general interest.
