Abstract

The purpose of the present study is to determine the species of red and green pigments used on paintings of Korean temples and also to compare the two pigments according to the particle characteristics. The component analysis shows that the red pigment consists of cinnabar, hematite, and minium and the green pigment are composed of atacamite, celadonite, and malachite. The result suggests that mixture of various pigments were applied to the painting. When it comes to the particle characteristics, there are various hedral or anhedral shapes such as sharp, long, angular, and platy shapes even in the same cinnabar. In addition, the green pigment also shows a similar pattern with those of the red pigment. Up to now, an identification of minerals has been relied on examination of component and crystal shape. However, it is notable that using form related characteristics can be a better and useful method not only for categorization of pigments which are similar in terms of color and species but also specific index.

사찰의 단청 등 회화에 사용된 적색과 녹색안료에 대해 그 종류를 밝혀내고, 이들의 광물입자 특성을 관찰하여 서로 비교분석하고자 하였다. 성분분석 결과, 적색안료는 진사(Cinnabar)와 석간주(Hematite), 연단(Minium) 등 3가지 종류가 사용된 것으로 확인되었고, 녹색안료는 녹염동광(Atacamite)과 뇌록석(Celadonite) 그리고, 일부 석록(Malachite)이 확인되었다. 이는 사찰별로 독특한 안료를 사용하였다기 보다는 다양한 종류의 안료를 회화의 특성에 맞게 모두 이용하였음을 알 수 있다. 안료의 입자특성에서는 적색안료 중에서 같은 진사라 할지라도 매끄럽거나 길쭉하고 각진모양, 판상 등 자형(hedral) 또는 타형(anhedral)의 다양한 형태를 가지고 있으며, 이는 녹색안료에서도 유사한 패턴을 보였다. 특히 지금까지 안료의 성분과 결정구조분석을 통해 광물을 확인하는 방법이 주로 이용되어왔으나 이에 비해 입자의 형태적 특성을 이용하는 것이 색상과 종류가 유사한 안료 그룹내에서는 이들을 보다 세밀하게 구분할 수 있고, 인자화 하는데 유리한 방법일 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
