Abstract
The pigments identified are smalt pigment (65% SiO2Â +Â 15% K2OÂ +Â 10% CoOÂ +Â 5% Al2O3) for the blue color present in all blue areas of the painting, probably copper resinate for the green colors, vermillion (HgS) as red pigment and lead white is used to form different colors. The comparison of blue pigments used on different areas of the painting gives no differences in the elemental fingerprint which confirms the existing hypothesis concerning the economic painting method by Bruegel.
