Innovation is an essential component of the strategic objectives of E-RIHS. It encompasses novel research actions, offer of unique access services and provision of smart tools. Exploiting innovation, for the benefit of the E-RIHS ecosystem and the society, requires a number of actions along the innovation chain, including the presence of an efficient monitoring and evaluation system, appropriate knowledge and technology transfer channels, proper IPR protection and efficient communication with key stakeholders both in the public and the private sectors. An overall systematic approach to the above will ensure success and sustainability of ERIHS as an innovator and as a leader in the global HS landscape. This document is Deliverable 6.2, elaborated in the context of project IPERION HS, WP-06: Innovation and Exploitation, Task 6.4: Exploitation Plan. The analysi...

L'etude de l'instabilite chromatique des preparations sous conditions defavorables est importante compte tenu de l'impact qu'elle peut avoir sur les couches de peinture et par consequent sur l'impression esthetique generale du tableau ainsi que sur son etat de conservation. L'etude de l'alteration de couleur des preparations vise a expliquer les raisons qui sont a l'origine d'une deterioration d'une oeuvre d'art, afin de fournir les donnees contribuant a la conservation appropriee et a une eventuelle restauration de l'oeuvre si necessaire. L'etude comprend sept sortes de preparation, de couleur blanche, de composition correspondant aux quatre plus importantes categories de preparation, de caractere absorbant, mi-absorbant, huileux et caseineux. A ce propos, 35 echantillons rectangulaires, de taille 2,8 cm x 3 cm, ont ete prepares et ont subi les epreuves experimentales suivantes: A. variations de temperature, B. exposition a l'humidite, C. exposition a la radiation ultraviolette, D. variations cycliques de temperature, E. exposition a une atmosphere SO 2 . Les mesures de couleur avant, durant et apres chaque epreuve ont ete effectuees au systeme colorimetrique uniforme L ucs a ucs b ucs . Le changement de couleur durant et a la fin de chaque epreuve a ete mesure selon la formule ΔE CMC [CMC(I:c)]. Le bilan des resultats manifeste une resistance remarquable des preparations de caractere absorbant et caseineux, qui restent pratiquement inchangees, alors que celles de caractere huileux et mi-absorbant presentent une alteration de couleur considerable.

Research paper thumbnail of Architectural Polychromy on the Athenian Acropolis: An In Situ Non-Invasive Analytical Investigation of the Colour Remains

The project concerning the analytical investigation of the polychromy of the Acropolis monuments presented in this paper was part of the Acropolis Restoration Service (YSMA) program (2011–2015), regarding the restoration of the two corners of the west entablature of the Parthenon, which exhibited severe static damage, and a parallel restoration program of the Propylaea. The scope of this research was to investigate the materials in the paint decoration remains on the monuments by applying, entirely in situ, numerous non-invasive techniques on selected architectural members of the Parthenon and the Propylaea. The research focused, mainly, on surfaces where traces of colour or decoration patterns were visible to the naked eye. Furthermore, surfaces that are referred to in the literature as decorated but that are currently covered with weathering ...

The 'Innovation Agenda' represents the main action plan that reflects the priorities set in key areas and provides those mechanisms and structures necessary to enable innovation in any specific identified direction. The document reviews mechanisms, internal rules and procedures concerning the E-RIHS Innovation Strategy and discusses issues related to formulating, managing and keeping up-to-date the Innovation Agenda. A systematic approach in monitoring innovation, defining metrics and indicators (KPI's), will provide a reliable assessment of the innovation impact to Excellence, Synergies and Co-creation, Users and public engagement and the Sustainability of E...

Research paper thumbnail of Accelerated Thermal Ageing of Acrylic Copolymers, Cyclohexanone-Based and Urea-Aldehyde Resins Used in Paintings Conservation

The monitoring of performance characteristics of resins was always an issue for the conservation ... more The monitoring of performance characteristics of resins was always an issue for the conservation community, since the stability of the art objects depends on the service life of conservation materials used. Among the resins commonly applied in the field of paintings conservation, four of the most popular ones, Paraloid B72, Primal AC33 (acrylic polymers), Ketone Resin N (cyclohexanone) and Laropal A81 (urea-aldehyde) were selected to be comparatively studied under accelerated ageing conditions. These resins have been used by the art conservators either as consolidant materials of the paint or as protecting varnishes for the painting surface. The behaviour of the coatings under thermal ageing was investigated following a methodology depositing films of all materials onto different solid substrates (silicon wafers, quartz and simple glass slides) depending on the method of analysis used. Accelerated thermal ageing tests were conducted at 100 o C, for up to 432 hours. The morphological...

Research paper thumbnail of Colours and Pigments in the Miniatures of the Illuminated ‘Book of Job’ at the Monastery of St John the Theologian, Patmos

Manuscripts in the Making, Art and Science , 2018

The Book of Job is the oldest illuminated manuscript surviving in the Library of the Monastery of... more The Book of Job is the oldest illuminated manuscript surviving in the Library of the Monastery of St. John the Theologian at Patmos island, dated to the late 8th or 9th century, and it probably represents the oldest of all the Greek illuminated manuscripts located in the Eastern Mediterranean. The manuscript consists of 258 folios 37 x 25.5 cm and 39 miniatures. Its dimensions, the diligent writing and the secular character of its miniatures suggest a layman donor or recipient of the upper class. Undoubtedly, it is a luxurious creation that was meant for private and not liturgical use.
The overall quality of the miniatures is high and the excellent state of preservation of the paint layers allowed an in depth investigation on the pigments and the painting techniques used for their manufacture. The analytical investigation of the miniatures consisted in both non-destructive examination of the manuscript in the Monastery’s library (X-Ray Fluorescence and Visible Induced Luminescence) and in semi-destructive analysis carried out at the laboratory on free micro samples and cross sections (Raman spectroscopy, FTIR).
