What gives rise to color in a molecule ?
What sorts of artists’ pigments
were used in ancient and medieval
times?
How can we
determine molecular
identity?
How is the scientific method applied to a real-world
problem?
The Course: Chemistry of Artists Pigments

Other special course activities:• Made a modern synthetic pigment, Prussian Blue, and an egg tempera paint
• Sampling paints from the statue, microscopic examination of paints, collecting spectral data on the samples, and analyzing the spectra
• Trip to analytical laboratory in Noblesville to perform additional analysis
• Oral presentation to Peter Blume and Dr. Orna
• Collaborated on a written report

What? identify pigments & other artist materials
Why?(1) characterize artist & work(2) to determine if pigments
consistent with the date(3) chronology of paint application(4) conservation

Red Ochre: Fe2O3
Red Ochre has been used since prehistoric times. It can be found in volcanic regions or can be produced by heating yellow ochre.
