What is Portable XRF study of pigments applied in Juan Hispalense’s 15th century panel painting about?

## Abstract Several medieval paintings and polychrome sculptures have been analysed in the frame of a collaboration between the Fine Arts Museum of Seville and the National Centre of Accelerators, dedicated to a non‐destructive study of artworks that belong to the wide museum’s collection. Among the oldest artworks in the collection is the panel painting __Archangel St. Michael__ attributed to Juan Hispalense, one of the first painters in the 15th‐century Seville known by name. The panel was analysed by a portable X‐ray fluorescence (XRF) to get more information about the pigments applied and to identify possible later interventions. The results showed that the pigments were those commonly used in that period. Lead white was found in the preparation of the painting and in colour layers. For yellow colour, yellow ochre was used, while for the red one, the painter usually mixed red earth and vermillion. Blue pigment is azurite, while the copper‐based green one could not be determined more specifically by XRF. Brown colour is made with yellow ochre and organic black or, in some cases, umbra. Black pigment is probably bone or ivory black. Many decorative parts of the panel are gilded,
