Photochemistry for Cultural Heritage
2016
Why do certain ancient natural dyes, such as indigo, preserve their colour so well while others, like brazilein, seem to degrade much faster? And how did mauveine change the world of colour? Will modern binding media, as vinyl paints, perform as well as a medieval tempera? Will it be possible to predict their durability? Photochemistry can answer many important questions about materials’ stability, providing new tools for the conservation of treasured artworks.
