A note on the pigments and media in some spanish colonial paintings from argentina

The blue and white pigments, media and grounds from two series of Arcángeles Arcabuceros of the Andean colonial style have been studied by chemical and spectroscopic methods. In one series smalt was found to be the blue pigment, with indigo in the other. Both were mixed with lead white and were iden...
