Effect of iron rust on color layer and structural integrity of historical oil paintings by Niazy Mostafa Mohamed, Ezz Arabi Orabi, Abdullah A. Alamri, Abadi M. Mashlawi, A. El-Shabasy, Thanaa Ali Abo Taleb

“…This article aims to discuss (1) the phenomenon of rust that affects paintings (2) the problems associated with the effect of rust that migrates through the layers on the rest of the parts of the painting other than the colors, such as the canvas layer and the preparation layer (3) describing the mechanism of atmospheric corrosion of iron by interacting with ground colors (red ochre–yellow ochre–blue) using experimental models covered with rust and exposed to thermal and light aging to evaluate damage before and after accelerated aging and the most important damage products (4) and the evaluation of damage was done by using color change measurement For the samples, the front and back morphological surfaces of the fabrics were monitored before and after aging through the average color measurements of the three colors. …”
