Using Materials Science To Analyze Mayan Murals Tech Briefs Amara solari and colleagues have scoured the yucatán peninsula to document and preserve religious murals painted by maya christian artists more than 400 years ago, pairing art history with cutting edge materials science to gain important new insights about these fragile artworks. For the last five years, amara solari, professor of art history and anthropology at penn state, has led a research team on an historical and, unexpectedly, s.
Maya Murals The Art Of Power Tang Teaching Museum Penn state university professor amara solari has been recently scouring the yucatán to identify, document, interpret, and analyze murals painted inside churches by maya christian artists more than 400 years ago. Physical and chemical analyses (ftir and sem edx) have identified a palette of colours typical of pre columbian maya mural paintings: white lime (caco 3), carbon black, hematite (fe 2 o 3), ochre and red earth (possibly of local origin; see the osm), as well as the so called ‘maya blue’. Through the detailed analysis of the painting techniques, procedures and materials we try our essay focuses on the complex topic of mesoamerican intercultural exchange, to understand the teotihuacan artists’ world, their training, and their probable relationship with maya artists.

Maya blue is a famous blue pigment composed of palygorskite clay and indigo. it was used by the ancient maya and provides a dramatic background for some of the most impressive murals throughout mesoamerica. despite exposure to acids, alkalis, and chemical solvents, the color of the maya blue pigment remains unaltered. In this work, we present trace element measurements on archaeological mural samples containing the maya blue pigment. the mural samples come from six different archaeological sites (four pre hispanic and two from xvi century colonial convents). Prehispanic maya architecture features a large variety of artistic expression, from reliefs and sculptures made of stone or stucco to mural paintings and graffiti found on the plastered surfaces of their walls and façades. Elemental analysis by x ray fluorescence and particle induced x ray emission is applied to the study of several mesoamerican mural samples containing blue pigments.
