@article{2015,title={Pigment And Binder Analysis Of Turkish Painter Feyhaman Duran’s Portrait Of Mehmed II Portrait (Replicated Oil Painting Of Mehmed II Originally Painted By The Artist Gentile Bellini)},abstractNode={In this study, the portrait painting titled “Mehmed II (Mehmed the Conqueror)” with the inventory number 21/2000 at Istanbul University Feyhaman Duran Culture and Art House, painted by the artist Feyhaman Duran was examined. This painting is a reproduction by the artist Feyhaman Duran, of the painting at British National Gallery, which was originally painted by the famous Italian artist Gentile Bellini. SEM-EDX and HPLC methods were used for the pigment and binder analyses of the painting. The aim was to carry out studies in order to form a database related to Feyhaman Duran. SEM has many advantages in terms of examining very small samples. For instance, SEM could be combined with EDS or EDX in order to have element analysis. SEM-EDX is a very common contemporary method used in pigment analysis. The bindings used in oil paintings can be examined by using High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). In these examinations it was detected that titanium white, zinc white, and litopone were used as white color; cadminium and zinc yellow were used as yellow; ferrous oxide and vermillion red were used as red; ultra marine was used as blue; ivory black was used as black; and finally, terra verde (earth green) was used as green. Gum arabic, gum tracanth, linoleic acid, linseed oil, and glue bead were detected as binding materials. These analyses also help determine the colours to be used in the retouching stage during the restoration of the painting. Pigment and binder analyses are also vital in detecting forgery. When the paints used by the painter are analysed and compared with painting chronology, the painting may turn out to be fake, if a paint produced after the date of signature was used, for instance. Here, it is also important whether or not the painting underwent restoration later on.},author={Gülder EMRE-- Hazal Özlem (ERSAN) ERUŞ},year={2015},journal={Journal of Turkish Studies}}
