E mais um tratado em português

A biblioteca digital de antigos tratados técnicos em português tem mais um tradado Desta vez é o seguinte:

• Du Fresnoy, Charles-Alphonse — A Arte da Pintura, tradução de Jerónimo de Barros Ferreira, Lisboa, 1801

Está aqui.

Além disso, os tratados, como este, que são traduções, passam a ter ligação para a edição original, caso esta esteja disponível livremente na internet.

Mais 2 tratados técnicos antigos em português

Dando continuidade ao projecto da biblioteca digital de antigos tratados técnicos em português, acabei de colocar online mais dois tratados:

• Castro, Joaquim Machado de — Discurso Sôbre as Utilidades do Desenho, Lisboa, 1788

• Castro, Joaquim Machado de — Dicionário de Escultura, Lisboa, Livraria Coelho, 1937

Estão aqui.

Infelizmente a qualidade do último fica muito abaixo do que gostaria (provavelmente irá ser a obra que neste conjunto ficará com pior qualidade), mas não é possível fazer milagres com imagens de resolução extremamente reduzida (pelo menos, sem trabalho descomunal).

Biblioteca digital de antigos tratados técnicos em português

Dando início a uma antiga intenção, dei início ao que pretendo que seja a biblioteca digital de antigos tratados técnicos em português com as melhores cópias digitais disponíveis, pelo menos, com acesso livre.

Acabei de colocar online os dois primeiros tratados:

• Oliveira, Valério Martins — Advertencias aos Modernos, que Aprendem os Officios de Pedreiro, e Carpinteiro, 3.ª ed., Lisboa, 1757

• Taborda, José da Cunha — Regras da Arte da Pintura, Lisboa, Impressão Régia, 1815

Os tratados estão aqui, bem como algumas observações a respeito deste projecto.

Nos próximos dias disponibilizarei outras obras.

Pearce Paul Creasman, Extracting Cultural Information from Ship Timber, Texas A&M University, 2010.

Está aqui.

Resumo:

This dissertation is rooted in one general question: what can the wood from ships reveal about the people and cultures who built them? Shipwrecks are only the last chapter of a complex story, and while the last fifty years of nautical archaeology have managed to rewrite a number of these chapters, much of the information unrelated to a ship’s final voyage remains a mystery. However, portions of that mystery can be exposed by an examination of the timbers. An approach for the cultural investigation of ship timbers is presented and attempts are made to establish the most reliable information possible from the largely unheralded treasures of underwater excavations: timbers. By introducing the written record, iconographic record, and the social, economic, and political factors to the archaeological record a more complete analysis of the cultural implications of ship and boat timbers is possible. I test the effectiveness of the approach in three varied case-studies to demonstrate its limits and usefulness: ancient Egypt’s Middle Kingdom, the Mediterranean under Athenian influence, and Portugal and the Iberian Peninsula during the Discoveries. The results of these studies demonstrate how ship timbers can be studied in order to better understand the people who built the vessels.

As ciências aplicadas ao estudo de pinturas

Foi, há pouco, colocada online a seguinte tese de doutoramento, com acesso livre:

Alessandra Rosado,  História da Arte Técnica: Um Olhar Contemporâneo sobre a Práxis das Ciências Humanas e Naturais no Estudo de Pinturas sobre Tela e Madeira, Belo Horizonte, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, 2011.

Está aqui.

Resumo:

O presente trabalho busca caracterizar epistemologicamente o emergente campo de estudo no Brasil denominado História da Arte Técnica, que reúne métodos de investigação da História da Arte, das análises físico-químicas e da Ciência da Conservação aplicados aos objetos artísticos culturais. As teorias clássicas das Ciências Humanas (principalmente História da Arte) e Ciências Naturais (Física, Química e Biologia) são analisadas com o propósito de investigar através das contribuições dessas áreas nos processos de restauração, autenticação e estudo das técnicas e materiais de pinturas sobre tela e madeira os pontos de contato na conformação da prática interdisciplinar proposta pela História da Arte Técnica. Os estudos de caso apresentados referentes à pintura a óleo sobre tela de autoria de Poussin, à obra anônima O Lenhador e ao estudo preliminar dos materiais e técnicas das obras de Candido Portinari permitiram avaliar as linhas gerais da constituição dessa nova prática (onde diferentes fases da história da produção de uma obra de arte podem, muitas vezes, ser reveladas fornecendo informações importantes sobre o processo criativo do artista e de suas intenções) e avançar na proposição do estabelecimento de um diálogo, idealmente sem barreiras, entre as Ciências Humanas e Naturais.

Resumo:

De finales del XVII a medidados del XIX la Comunidad Valenciana se enriquecía con retablos cerámicos y paneles devocionales colocadas en fachadas de las casas y en lugares estratégicos de las calles. No se conocía iglesia, barrio o gremmio que no tuviese una imagen del patrón en una hornacina donde los files del pueblo se reunisen en fiestas, dedicando rezo o admiración. La fluctuación considerable de los cambios meteorológicos, y las modificaciones urbanísticas, hacian necesario una revisión de la cerámica tradicional religiosa, en concreto los paneles devocionales y Via Crucis. La finalidad de la presente tesis consiste en estudiar la creación y evolución de dichos paneles devocionales, para ello ha sido necesario conocer en profundidad su composición, las técnicas de manofactura y la elaboración de este tipo de cerámicas en el siglo XVIII, así como la realización de una catálogo fotografico con diferentes obras de diversos lugares en la Comunidad Valenciana. Tras los diferentes ensayos de envejecimiento (hielo-deshielo, radiación lumínica, T/HR, corrosión, erosión) a los que fueron sometidas las diveras probetas, tanto cerámicas como aquellos materiales empleados en la reconstrucción volumétrica de los soportes, se evalúan sus efectos mediante Microscopia Optica, análisis colorimétrisoc, FTIR, SEM/EDX y DRX, estableciéndose finalmente las conclusiones.

A descoloração do azul ultramarino em pintura

A seguinte tese de doutoramento sobre a alteração do azul ultramarino em pintura antiga está disponível online:

Jörg Klaas, Die "Ultramarinkrankheit". Studien zu Veränderungen in Ultramarinhaltigen Farbschichten an Gemälden, München, Technischen Universität München, 2010.

Resumo:

The mineral pigment ultramarine is a sulphur-containing sodium aluminium silicate with the approximate formula Na₃Ca(Si₃Al₃O₁₂)S. Since the 6th century it is made by grinding lapis lazuli and was used in wall paintings, illuminated manuscripts and easel paintings. The term ‘ultramarine-sickness’ describes colour changes of ultramarine-containing paint layers. The blue colour turns lighter or becomes greyish in appearance. Two theories are discussed: destruction of the aluminosilicate lattice by acids which leads to dissociation of the colour carrying polysulphide anions or an apparent discolouration due to micro-cracks in the binding medium. Using the examples of 18 paintings from 1300–1720 of the Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen a classification of the colour change phenomenons was carried out. Investigations on artificially altered samples and cross-sections of 14 paintings employing light microscopy, SEM/EDX and Raman-spectroscopy give no evidence for a decomposition of the pigment by acids. In the cross-sections a separation of pigment and binders could be observed. The micro-cracks cause a change of the refractive index that is responsible for the glaze pigment ultramarine becoming opaque and lighter.
