Antoninocose's Snapshots

  1. underdrawing

    underdrawing by Antoninocose from the GigaPan Infrared Reflectography (IRR) by Antoninocose

    This is the only evident sign of an underdrawing. Probably the painter used just few strokes to define the composition.

  2. Thin preparation

    Thin preparation by Antoninocose from the GigaPan Infrared (IR) by Antoninocose

    The paint film is minimal, for example, there is no paint layer under the Madonna’s hair , as shown in the infrared (IR) where the infrared goes through the yellow ochre and reveal the canvas. Though, the Madonna’s face doesn’t show any canvas since lead white is much more infrared opaque.

  3. Underdrawing

    Underdrawing by Antoninocose from the GigaPan Infrared Reflectography (IRR) by Antoninocose

    The 3 infrared methods — Infrared (IR), Infrared Reflectography (IRR) and Infrared Transmitted (IRTR) - do not show an exstensive underdrawing nor pentimenti. Thus the painter show to be well trained in this traditional devotional composition.

  4. Composition

    Composition by Antoninocose from the GigaPan Infrared Transmitted (IRTR) by Antoninocose

    Infrared Transmitted (IRTR) allows to get insights on the composition build up. So here is evident that the snake was painted after the Madonna's feet.

  5. Preparation

    Preparation by Antoninocose from the GigaPan Infrared (IR) by Antoninocose

    A thin and diluted preparation was spread with a large flat brush. The paint becomes transparent in the infrared and allows to image the preparation.

  6. Cadmium red

    Cadmium red by Antoninocose from the GigaPan Infrared Fluorescence by Antoninocose

    Cadmium pigments show a bright infrared fluorescence. This brightness suggests then the use of cadmium red for the retouches.

  7. Green earth

    Green earth by Antoninocose from the GigaPan Infrared False Color (IRFC) by Antoninocose

    this green-bluish false color suggest the presence of green earth. This possibility is supported by the low transparence of this pigment in the infrared range.

  8. Losses

    Losses by Antoninocose from the GigaPan Infrared Transmitted (IRTR) by Antoninocose

    Damages or losses in the ground, preparation or canvas show clearly as bright spots in the infrared transmitted photography (IRTR)

  9. Retouches

    Retouches by Antoninocose from the GigaPan Ultraviolet Fluorescence (UVR) by Antoninocose

    Ultraviolet Fluorescence (UVF) imeediately allow the identification of retouches which show up as black spots.

  10. Lead white

    Lead white by Antoninocose from the GigaPan Ultraviolet Reflected (UVR) by Antoninocose

    Ultraviolet Reflected helps in identifying pigments. This white paint here is probably lead white. For sure it's not titanium white - the modern alternative - since this last pigment absorb ultraviolet light and would look dark ruther than bright.

  11. Craquelure

    Craquelure by Antoninocose from the GigaPan Ultraviolet Reflected (UVR) by Antoninocose

    Ultraviolet Reflected allows a better documentation of the craquelure pattern. Much better than the normal photography since ultraviolet is reflected by the varnish while visible light goes through it.

  12. ultramarine blue

    ultramarine blue by Antoninocose from the GigaPan Infrared False Color (IRFC) by Antoninocose

    this red false color for a blue pigment is suggesting ultramarine blue
