• Pigment
The
solid particles finely dispersed in the paint layer
organic pigment
Pigment containing an organic dyestuff obtained
from a natural source (animal or vegetale) or by
synthesis. The dyes can be fixed or not on an inert
substrate
lake pigment
Organic pigment obtained by
complexation, precipitation or
chemisorption of the dyestuffs on
inert substrate, with low refractive
index, in general inorganic.
Preparation of a madder lake
1/ Extraction
extraction of water-soluble glycosides
and their deglycosylation into the aglycones
2/ Complexation
complexation of aglycones with
a metal cation (Al3+ S)
3/ Fixation onto the substrate
precipitation and/or addition of inorganic
substrate (alumina, gypsum, chalk, ) on which
the Al-dyestuff complexes adsorb
4/ Finalisation
filtration of the lake, rinsing of water-soluble
salts, drying and grinding

Chemical structure
Alizarin lake on amorphous alumina :
It is a chelate-type coordination compound, in which an Al(III) ion, at the
surface of amorphous alumina, forms a complex with one or two alizarin
molecules.

z= 0
+H
+3H 2O
n
In special circumstances,
i.e. at Al/aliz ratio so low
that no alumina can be
formed from the excess
aluminium, Al-aliz
complexes can polymerize
into linear chains, and then
slowly form gels by crosslinking of these chains
through π-π
π interactions
between the aromatic rings

Analyses in the past
1812 -
Naples – rose pigment found in a broken vessel
during excavations
the Queen of Naples sent a sample to Davy
1815 – (23 février) - Davy presented his analytical results:
« it is a lake pigment »
because:
Sir Humphry
Davy
(1778-1829)
- the sample was discoulored at the surface of
particles, but pink inside
- its color is similar to the carmin
- the lost of weight by heating represented
around 3 %
- it changed colour with pH
- the inorganic part of the sample is composed of
silicates, aluminates and calcium carbonate

Analyses in the past
W.T. Russell
en 1892
The pink pigment from Corinthe was identified
by comparison of the reflexion curves of the
sample with that of a rose madder lake. These
curves were obtained using a Beckman
spectrophotometer and are historically the first
instrumental analysis of the colour of lakes.

MS detector (LCQ Deca with ion trap MS detector) :
Detector connected to the HPLC in addition to the PDA UV detector
(but can also be used as independent mass spectrometry detector, for direct

As HPLC detector, Mass Spectrometry outperforms classical detectors
(UV-VIS, conductivity, fluorescence, etc) in terms of selectivity (identification

thin-layer chromatography

HPTLC :
UTLC:
high-performance thin-layer chromatography
smaller adsorbent material particle sizes and a slight reduction in layer thickness
ultra-thin-layer chromatography
- no based on granular adsorbents, but have a monolithic structure based
on a silica gel matrix,
- no binder is needed to fix the layer on the glass
- ultra-thin layers has meso- and macro pores, with fine capillaries penetrating
- increasing sensitivity => much smaller amounts of sample
- shortening analysis,
- reducing the quantity of consumables per analysis

What will influence the interpretation of dyestuffs analysis?
- sampling
- analytical protocol
- complementary analysis
- historical source study

712)
Kermes lake was used in the red glaze and a madder lake in the pink
underpaint. In addition to the expected kermes dyestuff components,
ellagic acid was detected in the glaze suggesting extraction of the kermes
dydestuff from silk - ellagic acid is a component of oak galls (and a
breakdown product of many tannins).
