Description

The electron microprobe has been used to analyse cross sections of ground layerswhich have been sampled from oil paintings painted by Japanese in early Meiji Period. The ground has been classified into three types according to its structure and materials. Type I has a three-layer construction which contains: 1) calcium carbonate; 2) calcium carbonate and lead white; 3) lead white from bottom layer upward. Fossils, calcareous nannoplankton, are observed in calcium carbonate in most of type I ground. Type I ground is a characteristic one in paintings painted in Great Britain and Japan. It is closely related with the ground of the Windsor and Newton's canvas which had been produced in England. Type II, is a characteristic ground in paintings painted in Italy and France, has a one or two layer construction which contained mainly lead white and small amount of calcium carbonate. Type III is the ground which does not belong to above two types and contained zinc oxide white.
