- The German-born artist Albertus Pictor (†1509) was responsible for the decoration of the walls and vaults of about 35 Swedish churches. In terms of the brilliant technique and the overwhelming production volume, his workshop was outstanding in Medieval Sweden. This study analyses a total of 291 samples of pigmentsfrom nine churches containing murals attributed to the workshop. Some of the results have already been published, but here they are integrated with new data.Isotope measurements of 13 lead pigments have been made. A tenth church with aquestionable attribution, Öja on Gotland, has also been investigated with nine samples. One purpose of this study is to find out which pigments Albertus' workshop preferred. Another aim is to show how chemical data can complement art historians' judgments concerning the master of a mural. Furthermore, the origins of the pigments are discussed. Our results indicate that Albertus Pictor used a rather limited number of pigments, and that he preferred pigments from his native country, Germany.

Fornlämningsområden som indikatorer för Miljömålet ”Bara naturlig försurning”
- 2006
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Riksantikvarieämbetet deltar i arbetet med de nya miljömålen. Ett av uppdragen är att ta fram s.k. indikatorer för miljömål nr 3, ”Bara naturlig försurning”. Inom miljömålet har en tvärvetenskaplig projektgrupp bildats. Syftet för gruppens arbete har varit att finna parametrar för att kunna följa miljöförändringar som berör outgrävt arkeologiskt material. Under år 2005 har projektet haft kontakt med nio länsstyrelser och har nu fått ekonomiskt anslag för att fortsätta med arbetet under år 2006. I samråd med de kontaktade länsstyrelserna togs ett arbetsprogram fram under år 2005.

Färganalys av romanska muralmålningar i tre kyrkor i Västergötland

- The authors have sampled and analysed pigments from Romanesque wall paintings in three churches in the province of Västergötland in southern Sweden: Marka, Eriksberg and Mjäldrunga. In total 27 samples were obtained and analysed with a Hitachi TM3000 scanning electron microscope. All paintings are dated to, or close to, the 13th century. They are generally in a bad state and often fragmentary. The analyses show that iron oxide (Fe2O3), yellow ochre and green earth are common pigments in the paintings, while imported pigments like ultramarine, vivianite, malachite, atacamite, minium and cinnabar are less common, in comparison with Romanesque murals in wealthier regions like Skåne (Scania) and Gotland. Two samples of minium have been analysed with a mass spectrometerfor their lead isotope composition. The data indicate an origin from the Harz or Erzgebirge mountainous districts in Germany.

Pigmenten i Margaretalegenden i Hackås kyrka, Jämtland

- Byn Hackås i Jämtland ligger vackert vid Storsjöns södra strand. Talrika gravhögar vittnar om att trakten varit bebyggd sedan järnåldern. Under 1100-talet ersattes byns träkyrka av en större stenkyrka med halvrund korabsid. Det är landskapets enda bevarade absidkyrka, och den nordligaste i Skandinavien.

Pigments used in medieval Scandinavia – types, origin, trading routes
- 2022

- In ancient times, Scandinavia was a remote part of Europe. However, the Vikings travelled by boat as far as the Mediterranean Sea and brought home various pigments to paint their runic stones. The Middle Ages (around 1000–1500 AD) witnessed a large import of pigments for the Church, used to decorate murals, wood sculptures, baptismal fonts, and portals. The authors have analysed 993 samples of medieval pigments from Sweden. Most results have been published in Swedish, though. We now make an attempt to comprise the data and compare it with analytical results from Denmark, Norway and some European countries. Lead isotope data and secondary minerals have helped to attribute pigments to specific regions. Germany seems to have been the most important trading partner, in particular as regards pigments containing copper or lead. Rare mineral pigments from distant countries, such as cinnabar, orpiment, gold and even ultramarine, were probably obtained from trading companies within the Hanseatic League. This union was for many centuries active in the Baltic Sea and North Sea coastal areas, where Scandinavia was represented by towns like Copenhagen, Roskilde, Bergen, Kalmar, Visby and Stockholm.
