NICAS COLLOQUIUM
In 2017, plumbonacrite, a rare lead-carbonate crystalline compound was detected in high amount within Rembrandt's artworks. A research program was then initiated, in order to decipher the chemical pathways of plumbonacrite formation within paint layers. This contribution presents the latest results of this research, obtained in the laboratory as well as at synchrotron radiation facilities. In addition to a better understanding of the chemistry at stake in lead-containing paint layers, new insights on the Old Maters recipes were obtained. Victor Gonzalez works as a Junior Scientist at the Science Department of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, where he is involved in the scientific analysis of Old Masters materials and techniques, with a focus onthe structural study of ancient inorganic pigments. -

Frank Ligterink is heritage scientist with an education in paper conservation, physics and teaching. He has worked at the laboratory of the Cultural Heritage Agency (RCE) of the Netherlands since 1996. In this presentation, he shares his belief that the success of open source software projects is partly based on tools and infrastructures that enable people to cooperate efficiently. However, equally important are carefully shaped rules of conduct such as open source software licenses.
