Artificial Orpiment, a New Pigment in Rembrandt's Palette van Loon et al. Herit Sci (2017) 5:26 DOI 10.1186/s40494-017-0138-1 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Artifcial orpiment, a new pigment in Rembrandt’s palette Annelies van Loon1,2* , Petria Noble1, Anna Krekeler1, Geert Van der Snickt3, Koen Janssens3, Yoshinari Abe4, Izumi Nakai4 and Joris Dik2 Abstract This paper reports on how the application of macro X-ray fuorescence (MA-XRF) imaging, in combination with the re-examination of existing paint cross-sections, has led to the discovery of a new pigment in Rembrandt’s palette: artifcial orpiment. In the NWO Science4Arts ‘ReVisRembrandt’ project, novel chemical imaging techniques are being developed and applied to the study of Rembrandt’s late paintings in order to help resolve outstanding questions and to gain a better understanding of his late enigmatic painting technique. One of the selected case studies is the Portrait of a Couple as Isaac and Rebecca, known as ‘The Jewish Bride’, dated c. 1665 and on view in the Rijksmuseum. During the re-installation of the Rijksmuseum in 2013, the picture was scanned using the Bruker M6 Jetstream MA- XRF scanner. The resulting elemental distribution maps made it possible to distinguish many features in the painting, such as bone black remains of the original hat (P, Ca maps), and the now discolored smalt-rich background (Co, Ni, As, K maps). The arsenic (As) map also revealed areas of high-intensity in Isaac’s sleeve and Rebecca’s dress where it could be established that it was not related with the pigment smalt that also contains arsenic. This pointed to the presence of a yellow or orange arsenic-containing pigment, such as realgar or orpiment that is not associated with the artist’s palette. Subsequent examination of existing paint cross-sections from these locations taken by Karin Groen in the 1990s identifed isolated, almost perfectly round particles of arsenic sulfde. The round shape corresponds with published fndings on a purifed form of artifcial orpiment glass obtained by dry processing, a sublimation reaction. In bright feld, the particles characteristically exhibit a dark cross in the middle caused by internal light refections. The results of additional non-invasive techniques (portable XRD and portable Raman) are discussed, as well as the implica- tions of this fnding and how it fts with Rembrandt’s late experimental painting technique.

    Mineral Spectroscopy: A Tribute to Roger G. Bums © The Geochemical Society, Special Publication No.5, 1996 Editors: M. D. Dyar, C. McCammon and M. W. Schaefer Theoretical studies on As and Sb sulfide molecules J. A. TOSSELL Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742, U.S.A. Abstract-Dimorphite (As4S3) and realgar and pararealgar (As4S4) occur as crystalline solids con- taining As4S3 and As4S4 molecules, respectively. Crystalline As2S3 (orpiment) has a layered structure composed of rings of AsS3 triangles, rather than one composed of discrete As4S6 molecules. When orpiment dissolves in concentrated sulfidic solutions the species produced, as characterized by IR and EXAFS, are mononuclear, e.g. ASS3H21, but solubility studies suggest trimeric species in some concentration regimes. Of the antimony sulfides only Sb2S3 (stibnite) has been characterized and its crystal structure does not contain Sb4S6 molecular units. We have used molecular quantum mechanical techniques to calculate the structures, stabilities, vibrational spectra and other properties of As S , 4 3 As4S4, As4S6, As4SIO, Sb4S3, Sb4S4, Sb4S6 and Sb4SlO (as well as S8 and P4S3, for comparison with previous calculations). The calculated structures and vibrational spectra are in good agreement with experiment (after scaling the vibrational frequencies by the standard correction factor of 0.893 for polarized split valence Hartree-Fock self-consistent-field calculations). The calculated geometry of the As4S. isomer recently characterized in pararealgar crystals also agrees well with experiment and is calculated to be about 2.9 kcal/mole less stable than the As4S4 isomer found in realgar. The calculated heats of formation of the arsenic sulfide gas-phase molecules, compared to the elemental cluster molecules As., Sb, and S8, are smaller than the experimental heats of formation for the solid arsenic sulfides, but shown the same trend with oxidation state.

  • Rembrandt Self Portraits
    Rembrandt Self Portraits Born to a family of millers in Leiden, Rembrandt left university at 14 to pursue a career as an artist. The decision turned out to be a good one since after serving his apprenticeship in Amsterdam he was singled out by Constantijn Huygens, the most influential patron in Holland. In 1634 he married Saskia van Uylenburgh. In 1649, following Saskia's death from tuberculosis, Hendrickje Stoffels entered Rembrandt's household and six years later they had a son. Rembrandt's success in his early years was as a portrait painter to the rich denizens of Amsterdam at a time when the city was being transformed from a small nondescript port into the The Night Watch 1642 economic capital of the world. His Rembrandt painted the large painting The Militia Company of Captain Frans Banning Cocq historical and religious paintings also between 1640 and 1642.

  • Evolution and Ambition in the Career of Jan Lievens (1607-1674)
    ABSTRACT Title: EVOLUTION AND AMBITION IN THE CAREER OF JAN LIEVENS (1607-1674) Lloyd DeWitt, Ph.D., 2006 Directed By: Prof. Arthur K. Wheelock, Jr. Department of Art History and Archaeology The Dutch artist Jan Lievens (1607-1674) was viewed by his contemporaries as one of the most important artists of his age. Ambitious and self-confident, Lievens assimilated leading trends from Haarlem, Utrecht and Antwerp into a bold and monumental style that he refined during the late 1620s through close artistic interaction with Rembrandt van Rijn in Leiden, climaxing in a competition for a court commission. Lievens’s early Job on the Dung Heap and Raising of Lazarus demonstrate his careful adaptation of style and iconography to both theological and political conditions of his time. This much-discussed phase of Lievens’s life came to an end in 1631when Rembrandt left Leiden. Around 1631-1632 Lievens was transformed by his encounter with Anthony van Dyck, and his ambition to be a court artist led him to follow Van Dyck to London in the spring of 1632. His output of independent works in London was modest and entirely connected to Van Dyck and the English court, thus Lievens almost certainly worked in Van Dyck’s studio. In 1635, Lievens moved to Antwerp and returned to history painting, executing commissions for the Jesuits, and he also broadened his artistic vocabulary by mastering woodcut prints and landscape paintings. After a short and successful stay in Leiden in 1639, Lievens moved to Amsterdam permanently in 1644, and from 1648 until the end of his career was engaged in a string of important and prestigious civic and princely commissions in which he continued to demonstrate his aptitude for adapting to and assimilating the most current style of his day to his own somber monumentality.

However, when we go to a museum – either in person or online – we expect a very different kind of experience. The physical museum invites us to discover exceptional and often extraordinary kinds of objects, and accordingly, when these very same objects are delivered online, they are managed very differently from the way books are managed by libraries, or the way that archives manage hierarchal documents. As the footprint of the physical museum, an online museum is therefore orchestrated to convey the singular and often spectacular nature of the objects, as well as the very quintessence of the physical museum. This means that as objects, and works of art make their screen debut, the website needs to communicate not only the physicality of the objects but also to signify - in some way - the embodied space of the gallery. As if we have just passed through the physical front door of the museum, the electronic portal signifies entrance to the online museum, setting up the collections accordingly. Objects are not simply displayed as clutches of atomized objects, but are arranged in thematic order – as a collection or exhibition – according to a chronological logic, historical narrative, provenance, or according to artists or schools of art, just in the same way that they are presented in the physical museum1.

  • 10700 Orpiment, King's Yellow PY 39
    10700 Orpiment, King's Yellow PY 39 Chemical composition: yellow sulphide of arsenic As2S3 The origin of the modern name is derived from the Latin term auripigmentum or auripigmento, literally meaning gold paint. Orpiment was once widely used, particularly in the East, but has now fallen into disuse because of its limited supply and because of its poisonous character. The principal sources in ancient times appear to have been in Hungary, Macedonia, Asia Minor and perhaps in various parts of Central Asia. There was a large deposit near Julamerk in Kurdistan. Current deposits of orpiment are in Romania, Hungary, Germany, Greece, France, Italy, Iran, Peru, China, Japan and the western United States. Orpiment occurs as a low temperature product in hydrothermal veins, as a volcanic sublimation product, as a hot spring deposit and in fire mines. It is often associated with stibnite, pyrite, realgar, calcite and gypsum. Orpiment occurs in many places but not in large quantities. Orpiment is usually described as a lemon or canary yellow or sometimes as a golden or brownish yellow with a fair covering power. Microscopically, orpiment is crystalline and may contain orange-red particles of realgar, to which it is closely related. The larger particles glisten by reflected light and have a waxy-looking surface. The toxicity of the arsenic sulfide pigments has been known since early times. The toxic properties of orpiment have been used to advantage to repel insects. Orpiment is said to be incompatible with lead- or copper-containing pigments. Orpiment is not stable in lime and therefore can not be used for fresco, a fact noted by Cennino Cennini inn the fifteenth century.

Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn (b. July 15, 1606, Leiden—d. Oct. 4, 1669, Amsterdam). To date seventy-three events focusing on Rembrandt have been announced (1) including a major exhibition, “Rembrandt-Caravaggio” from 24 February-18 June 2006 at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam (2) where these two remarkable and revolutionary artists “will confront each other face to face.” Our exploration of Rembrandt’s painting materials and techniques began with preparations for a workshop presented at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and a lecture at the Chicago Art Institute in connection with the exhibition “Rembrandt’s Journey” in 2004. The authors, a conservator (Weil) and a painter (Belchetz- Swenson) explored the technical and art historical literature and did reconstructions. Though Rembrandt never went to Italy unlike many of his artist colleagues in Holland, he studied with Pieter Lastman who had spent five years in Italy and who was profoundly influenced by Caravaggio. Rembrandt’s admiration for the Dutch “Caravaggisti” is evident as he absorbed much of their example into formulating his own style. Caravaggio’s use of dramatic lighting effects, his ability to communicate Fig.1 Rembrandt, Self Portrait, 1659, detail, National profound emotion and moving human drama, as well Gallery of Art, Washington, DC as his technical inventiveness and use of a palette primarily of earth tones were all deeply influential on Rembrandt’s formation as an artist.

    STRONG AND WEAK INTERLAYER INTERACTIONS OF TWO-DIMENSIONAL MATERIALS AND THEIR ASSEMBLIES Tyler William Farnsworth A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Chemistry. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Scott C. Warren James F. Cahoon Wei You Joanna M. Atkin Matthew K. Brennaman © 2018 Tyler William Farnsworth ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Tyler William Farnsworth: Strong and weak interlayer interactions of two-dimensional materials and their assemblies (Under the direction of Scott C. Warren) The ability to control the properties of a macroscopic material through systematic modification of its component parts is a central theme in materials science. This concept is exemplified by the assembly of quantum dots into 3D solids, but the application of similar design principles to other quantum-confined systems, namely 2D materials, remains largely unexplored. Here I demonstrate that solution-processed 2D semiconductors retain their quantum-confined properties even when assembled into electrically conductive, thick films. Structural investigations show how this behavior is caused by turbostratic disorder and interlayer adsorbates, which weaken interlayer interactions and allow access to a quantum- confined but electronically coupled state. I generalize these findings to use a variety of 2D building blocks to create electrically conductive 3D solids with virtually any band gap. I next introduce a strategy for discovering new 2D materials. Previous efforts to identify novel 2D materials were limited to van der Waals layered materials, but I demonstrate that layered crystals with strong interlayer interactions can be exfoliated into few-layer or monolayer materials.
