| Research Abstract |
The staining test technique used in the analysis of paint media on cross-sections has been carried out on reference new samples and old samples from artworks. Neutral Amide black reagent(AB3) and acid Fuchsine, which are stains for proteins, have been shown to identify glue media both in new and old samples. On the other hand, Sudan black B and Oil red O, which are stains for oils, revealed to identify drying oil media in new samples, but not to identify oil media in aged oil ground samples from artworks of 18th and 19th century. As to Sudan black B, it often adhered new and old glue grounds, thus it might cause to misunderstand proteins for drying oils. Pigments and media used in many artworks in the National Museum Western Art have been surveyed in this study.
