〔報告〕モノクローム資料写真をもとにしたオリジナルの彩色推定に関する基礎的検討

抄録

Since the dawn of history, a large number of cultural heritage have been lost or reported missing due to many reasons,including war and disaster. It is sure that clarifying the original coloring of such heritage will contribute to research in many fields such ashistory and art history. The aim of this study is to establish methods for deciding the original coloring and coloring materials of painted works from monochrome photographs taken as reference materials. Generally, the black and white contrasts of monochrome photographs are dependent on (i) the characteristic of photosensitive materials, (ii)illumination spectra of light source and (iii) characteristics of light reflection of subjects. Based on this assumption, it was found that taking monochrome photographs of coloring samples under the same conditions as the reference photographs and comparing the contrasts of both can lead to the decision of the original coloring. Using this method,decision of the original coloring of a portrait of a king of Ryukyu Kingdom, Sho-Iku (1813- 1847),which has been reported to have been lost during World War II, was carried out.
