Five Greek icons, made between the 15th and 18th centuries and now belonging to the Victoria and Albert Museum collections, were analysed by energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF), optical microscopy and Raman microscopy in order to determine the stratigraphy of the artworks and the identity of the pigments used. Together with common pigments, such as red lake, vermilion, red lead, red iron oxide, orpiment, yellow ochre, lead white, chalk, gypsum, anhydrite, Prussian blue, indigo and a copper-containing green, a few unusual materials were identified, specifically pararealgar (a yellow arsenic sulphide, As4S4), its precursor the chi-phase, and lead tin yellow type II (PbSn(1-x)SixO3). Attention is drawn to the complementarity of the techniques used for the pigment identifications.
对五件制作于15至18世纪、现归维多利亚与艾伯特博物馆收藏的希腊圣像进行了能量色散X射线荧光光谱（EDXRF）、光学显微镜和拉曼显微镜分析，以确定这些艺术品的地层情况以及所用颜料的成分。除了常见颜料，如红色色淀、朱砂、铅丹、赤铁矿、雌黄、黄土、铅白、白垩、石膏、硬石膏蓝、普鲁士蓝、靛蓝和一种含铜绿色颜料外，还鉴定出了一些不寻常的材料，特别是副雄黄（一种黄色硫化砷，As4S4）、其前体χ相以及II型铅锡黄（PbSn(1-x)SixO3）。文中提请注意用于颜料鉴定的各种技术之间的互补性。
