Resumen

Hoy en día, la caracterización de pigmentos in situ en una superficie relevante del patrimonio cultural es posible mediante el uso combinado de espectroscopias láser las cuales son adecuadas para detectar en alta resolución tanto la composición molecular (Raman, LIF) como la composición atómica (LIBS) de la muestra, esta última técnica con capacidades estratigráficas y una alta sensibilidad para la detección de trazas. En este artículo se exponen sus aplicaciones en la identificación de pigmentos y tintes históricos sobre diferentes sustratos, particularmente en pinturas murales, desde la prehistoria hasta el siglo XIX cuando se generalizó el uso de sustancias sintéticas. El artículo se centra en los colores rojos, conocidos desde la antigüedad por su uso ritual y médico. Su uso pictórico a lo largo de los siglos es demostrado y, en casos seleccionados, la hipótesis de procedencia, basada en información histórica, podría ser apoyada por resultados de los análisis de composición y detección de trazas elementales gracias a la aplicación de tecnologías láser.
