Abstract

•Vibrational analysis of panel paintings: Seven Acts of Charity and Angelic Concert.•Spectroscopic identification of ground layers and admixture of pigments.•Determination of the pictorial technique.

Samples were obtained from two world-famous 17th century panel paintings of the Gdańsk school of panting: ‘Seven Acts of Charity’ (1607, in St. Mary’s Church in Gdańsk, Poland) by Anton Möller and ‘Angelic Concert’ (1611, in Diocesan Museum in Pelplin, Poland) by Hermann Han. Micro-Raman spectroscopy (MRS), optical microscopy (OM), and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy studies of the samples were performed to characterize the pigments present in the individual painting layers (a rich palette of white, black, blue, red, and yellow pigments) and the pictorial techniques used by the artists.
