| סיכום: | The production of devotional reliefs, flourished in 15th century in Florence, where models from Renaissance Masters were reproduced in series by using a large variety of materials. One of the most frequently used is gypsum plaster, often referred to as “stucco” or “gesso”. Despite devotional reliefs wide diffusion, details concerning their constitutive materials and manufacture are insufficiently studied. In the framework of a research program fostered by the Louvre Museum, a multi-analytical approach was devised to investigate the composition and structure of micro samples obtained from a total of twenty-six representative artworks attributed to seven Florentine Masters. New evidence related to i) accessory minerals, ii) minor and trace elements, and iii) pores microstructure, disclosed important insights into the production of 15th century Florentine botteghe. These evidences, corroborated by the activity of some artists across Italy, raise new hypotheses on the attribution of some of these Madonne di gesso and their production outside Florence. |
