Considerations on the polychromy of a group of nenfro sculptures from Tuscania (Viterbo) kept in the National Archaeological Museum of Florence
The paper deals with a group of Etruscan nenfro sculptures found in Tuscania (Viterbo) and kept in the Archaeological Museum of Florence, where some of them were already displayed at the end of the 19th and early 20th century.

Cette étude porte sur un ensemble de sculptures étrusques en nenfro mises au jour à Tuscania (Viterbe) et conservées au musée archéologique national de Florence, où quelques-unes d’entre elles étaient déjà exposées à la fin du xixe siècle et au début du xxe. Après l’inondation de Florence en 1966, le musée a subi de lourds dégâts, entraînant la dislocation de plusieurs unités contextuelles, dont celles de Tuscania. Après nettoyage et restauration, une grande partie des œuvres a pu être transférée au dépôt du musée et à la villa Corsini, où elles se trouvent actuellement. Les sculptures ont été étudiées selon un protocole totalement non-invasif d’imagerie scientifique et d’analyses ponctuelles. On a pu de la sorte mettre en évidence des traces de pigments, principalement jaune et rouge à base de fer, avec parfois un peu de bleu égyptien. Les résultats de ces analyses, couplés aux études archéologiques, jettent un nouvel éclairage sur les sculptures, leur état de conservation et leur technique artistique, mais aussi sur leur contexte d’origine. |
