The lead white pigment, composed of two main mineral phases (cerussite PbCO3 and hydrocerussite 2PbCO3.Pb(OH)2) has been synthesized and used in paintings since the Antiquity. The study of historical sources reveals that a large variety of lead white qualities that painters could select existed, according to the degree of sophistication of the synthesis.This work, based on the combination of micro-structural and optical characterization, using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and luminescence properties, has permitted a better understanding of those pigment qualities. In a first time, a cristallo-chemical study was performed to specify the formation mechanisms of the crystalline phases during the antique synthesis, based on the corrosion of metallic...
