Among the questions dealt with involved the production and authorship, the extent of variation of the surface and paint layers, as well as the pigment types across all fourteen works. As The Basi Revolt is a series that depicts an important historical event in the Philippines, the course of conservation needs to be assessed as a whole, to reinstate a unified visual narrative. Methods used to attempt to answer these involved the examination of available historical records and the use of reflected raking and ultra-violet lights, microscopic magnification, and elemental analysis. To have a much stronger evidence-based understanding of The Basi Revolt, as well as of other early 19th century paintings by Filipino artists, setting up a database of the range of materials available and used during that time is essential for their conservation.

ItemFundamentals of Painting Conservation and Decision Making = พื้นฐานของการอนุรักษ์ภาพ จิตรกรรมและ การตัดสินใจในการอนุรักษ์(Thailand Academy of Social Sciences, Office of the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Innovation, 2023-09-01)What is the nature of paintings and paper conservation? The act of conservation asserts values, voice and legitimacy. This leads to questions around what knowledge is important, who gets to decide what is important to conserve, and what form this takes. What is appropriate in localised contexts is often positioned within the aims of heritage and identity, and object-centred practice and scientific processes.

ItemHans Heysen’s art materials: an investigation into suppliers, knowledge and choice(Archetype Publications, 2014-11-12)The Cedars, belonging to the estate of the renowned Australian landscape painter Hans Heysen (1877–1968), in the Adelaide Foothills, South Australia, was transformed into a museum in the early 1990s. Consisting of the artist’s home, studio and personal collections, it has provided a rich source for research into the artist’s sources of supplies, his technical knowledge and choices of material. During his lifetime, he maintained meticulous financial receipts, invoices and correspondence, and the collection includes his notebooks, trade directories and catalogues, and a significant study collection of related works and art materials. This evidence makes for a better understanding of Heysen’s technical practice, the making of his works of art and the merchandising, distribution and uptake of art materials in the British colony of South Australia. Previously, very little was known of the history of trading in art materials in Adelaide. The use of complementary written and object-based sources served to identify both patterns in Heysen’s purchases of artists’ materials and his preferred suppliers of materials. Between 1898 and 1918, there were no businesses trading exclusively in artists’ materials in South Australia, so Heysen bought materials through hardware and building suppliers, stationers and music sellers. Study of financial records along with exhibition catalogues and trade directories together with remaining artists‘ materials in Heysen studio confirmed the predominant presence of British manufactured artists’ materials that had been suspected. Suppliers advertising in exhibition catalogues indicate that Winsor & Newton was the principal brand of paints available in Adelaide.
