Research Abstract

A scientific research on materials, techniques, and problems in conservation of 37 oil paintings, stored in the University Museum, Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music, including 3 important works which are registered by the government as Important Cultural Objects, "Courtesan", "Salmon" and "Harvest" is carried out by the members of the present project, using techniques of IR, UV, microscopical and ordinary photographs, instrumental analyses by an X-ray microanalyser and a micro-diffractometer, and also of special methods observeng cross-sections of specimens taken from the paintings through a microscope. Visual observations of the paintings in the view of practical painters, conservators and art historians are also performed.
From the results of the investigations, several facts with much interests were found out. By careful observation of X-ray and infrared photographs, and by further considering the results from instrumental alalyses and microscopical observations, it was clarified that some paintings have accumulated structures by over-painting new one on the older drawing which has been completely covered by new one and unable to be observed. These results should be good proofs for leading some conclusions, clarifying the disciplinary relation between painters of such era and their antecedents, tracing the artistic progresses of specific painters and estimating the good skills of the painters.
