Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to create a reliable method for identifying red dyes in artwork where traditional dye collection techniques are impractical.
  • Using Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS), researchers developed a soft-mechanical sampling technique with a polymeric hydrogel to collect tiny colorant particles without damaging the artwork.
  • The method was validated through imaging and DART-MS analysis, leading to the successful identification of madder dyes in a Japanese woodblock print, contributing new insights into 18th-century Japanese art.
