THE PICTORIAL ARCHIVE
The archive of the Vainella's Research Laboratory/workshop gathers a large collection of "pictorial models" (over 500 samples), made by Leonetto Tintori himself and his closest collaborators during over 20 years of research. One of them, Dr. Cristina Grandin, is currently taking care of the posthumous development of the research activity.The models are designed and created as abstract tables. Each of them summarizes a particular type of fresco and practically illustrates a specific type of plaster, tempera or pigment.Special attention is paid to the organic binders (milk, egg, glue, etc..) used in ancient mural painting but largely ignored by today's art conservation and scientific diagnostics.
