- Abstract
Venetian enameled glass is one of the most significant subjects in the study of the art and technology of Renaissance glassmaking. The aim of this study is to propose a methodology including rules for identifying enameled and gilded Renaissance glass objects which follow the Venetian recipes. This paper presents the results of an analytical study on a wide selection of enameled glass artworks from museums and collections to determine the chemical composition of the glass and of the enamels. The chemical analyses were performed using non-invasive PIXE-PIGE on genuine Renaissance Venetian artworks, which were complemented with the study of enamels from archaeological sherds by SEM-EDS. The collected results constitute an initial dataset of genuine Renaissance Venetian enameled glass objects and disclose interesting "secrets" about the raw materials and coloring techniques for enamels used by contemporary Venetian glassmakers.
