Attributed works:
62. Top to bottom: a. Paint cross-section from Julius II's red mozzetta consisting of two layers of orange-red and orange-brown opaque paint, with a thick layer of red lake glaze on top. The lowest mid-brownish grey layer is the imprimitura over the gesso ground and is therefore not part of the design layers. No gesso is present in this sample. Original magnification, 400x. b. Paint cross-section from the light ovoid shape visible in the X-radiograph (Fig.61) at the right edge. The sequence of layers is: gesso ground; mid-brownish grey imprimitura; pale blue consisting of lead white and a little azurite (this layer registers most strongly in the X-ray image); sequence of green layers of the present green background. Original magnification, 250x. c. Paint cross-section from the background right-hand edge, from a point between the motifs in the earlier version of the blue and yellow design. The sequence of layers is: gesso ground; mid-brownish imprimitura; mid-blue layer of background between motifs, consisting of azurite with lead white, in which a higher proportion of azurite is present than illustrated at Fig.62b above; sequence of green layers of the present green background. Original magnification, 275x. d. Paint cross-section from concealed papal tiara, upper-right corner. The sequence of layers is: gesso ground; mid-brownish imprimitura; golden-yellow paint of the crown of the tiara (largely yellow ochre, with small proportions of lead white and red lake); sequence of green layers of present green background. Original magnification, 320x.
