Abstract

This study’s goal is to deepen the knowledge about techniques and materials applied in the execution of Portuguese wooden paintings. The Portuguese Catholic University of Oporto gathered a multidisciplinary team in order to study the Pentecost panel from Vasco Fernandes. This study was held in situ, in Santa Cruz de Coimbra Monastery and several techniques of analyses were applied: photographic examination under visible light, infra-red and ultra-violet photography, EDXRF and radiography. This last one allowed us to identify new information regarding both pictorial layer and wooden support, being the support our main concern. The relevance of the study of wooden Portuguese paintings is understandable due to the considerable knowledge gaps that still exist in this field.
