“…Micro‐Raman temperature studies and X‐ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy were used by Sendova et al . for the characterization of the blue glaze on Saint John the Baptist‐majolica terra cotta relief, attributed to Andrea Della Robbia, and Saint John the Baptist with Cross, a majolica terra cotta statue, attributed to Giovanni Della Robbia . It was proposed that the Della Robbia family used Co‐containing sulfide ores as a source for manufacturing their blue pigments.…”

“…The resonance Raman spectrum of the vibrations associated to the lazurite chromophores S 3 − and S 2 − ions under green laser excitation demonstrated the presence of ultramarine in Mamluk‐enamelled precious objects (Colomban et al). According to Sendova et al, the chromophores evidenced by Raman spectroscopy in some ‘Della Robbia’ blue glazes, arose from the thermal treatment of the used raw materials from Co‐containing sulphide ores and not from lapis lazuli incorporation. The unicity of this finding has been questioned by Colomban …”

Minerals, as raw structural materials or pigments, play a fundamental role in archaeometry, for the understanding of nature, structure and status of an artefact or object of interest for cultural heritage. A detailed knowledge of the mineral phases is crucial to solve archaeological problems: Raman spectroscopy is a powerful investigation technique and has been applied extensively in the last 30 years on mineral identification and on pigment degradation. Here we report an updated review, covering the last decade, of the applications of Raman techniques to issues in which raw minerals, including mineral pigments, are involved. Particular attention is devoted to cases where the Raman analysis of minerals is deeper than a simple identification of the phases present in an archaeological or artistic object.

“…Furthermore, specific studies regarding Modern Art paintings have been conducted for the works of Francis Picabia [9], Pablo Picasso and Jasper Johns [10]. Scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (SEM/EDS) could be useful for obtaining complementary information about the raw materials used in the artifacts [16,17].…”

Out of a total of 56 paintings in the collection of the Lazar Vozarević Gallery in Sremska Mitrovica, only one Lazar Vozarević painting from 1961, titled “Untitled”, has been subject to atypical degradation that has resulted in damage of completely atypical appearance. Such a problem had never before been noticed in Yugoslavian paintings of the 20th century. Discolored areas were found in various locations on the paint layer of the painting “Untitled” (especially on the lower and central parts of the painting), which disturbed the visual experience of the artistic work. To discover the cause of this discoloration, the composition of the paint layer was investigated, with the assumption that the true cause of degradation was hidden therein. Moreover, this painting belongs to a specific period in Vozarević’s activity, characterized by the use of non-traditional painting materials. To identify pigments from the highly degraded painting “Untitled”, scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (SEM/EDS) and micro-Raman spectroscopy were applied. Lithol red, a synthetic organic pigment known to give paintings a red tone, was identified as the main reason for the painting’s degradation. Lithol red is not only highly light-sensitive but is also chemically unstable, toxic, and sensitive to heat.
