Detection,Analysis and Restoration of Green Pigments in Ming Dynasty Paintings at Zhihua Temple
Zhihua Temple was built in the early Ming dynasty,and has undergone several renovations since the Ming and Qing Dynasties.The interior beam and square paintings and ceiling paintings of the main surviving buildings are well preserved and have typical Ming Dynasty characteristics.This paper combines documentary research and ornamentation analysis to select eight representative Ming Dynasty paintings and then analyze their use of green pigments.With the help of three technical instruments,namely Raman spectrometer,X-ray fluorescence spectrometer and transmission-reflection polarized light microscope,we reveal the current situation of the widespread use of synthetic chloro-copperite in the Ming Dynasty paintings of Zhihua Temple,the way of blending chloro-copperite with lead white and the type of elemental presence of chloro-copperite,as well as to speculate on the possibility of chloro-copperite in the acacia cover dyeing with literature and objects,and to practice the restoration of paintings.
