History of Pigments (from the 18th century to the present day)

International Academic Projects Ltd (IAP)was formed in London in 1989 as an international educational charity whose aims are to help promote education, training and research.

In this seminar Tracey Chaplin discusses the pigments used in painting from the 18th century to the present day.

This seminar discusses the pigments used in painting from the early 18th century onwards, introducing their chemistries, production methods and dates of use. The palettes used during this time period will be divided into 18th, 19th, early 20th and 20th/21st centuries, with the continuation of the use of natural pigments such as ochres, carbon blacks, chalk and cinnabar included, and the introduction of further synthetic pigments such as zinc white, cobalt blue, ultramarine blue, Scheele’s green, chrome yellow, titanium white, azo reds &amp; phthalocyanine blue described. Tracey Chaplin is an Independent Scientific Consult specialising in analysis and identification of artists’ materials and their degradation products on objects such as paintings, sculpture, furniture, manuscripts, wallpaper, textiles and architectural elements. This includes the application of microscopy, cross-sectional analysis, spectroscopies, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, X-ray fluorescence and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Tracey lectures in conservation science at the City and Guilds of London Art School, has published extensively and is one of four authors of The Pigment Compendium.
