6 MOLARTT and MOLART Reports MOLL ART - Molecular Aspects of Ageing of Painted Art - was a 5-year cooperativee project between art historians, restorers, analytical chemists and technicall physicists funded by the Dutch Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO).. Technical support and advice was given by Shell-SRTCA (Amsterdam), AKZO-NOBELL (Arnhem), Instituut Collectie Nederland (ICN, Amsterdam) and thee Dutch art museums. The project was launched on 1 February 1995 and ended inn early The object of MOLART was to contribute to the development of a scientificc framework for the conservation of painted art on the molecular level. The focuss of MOLART was the determination of the present chemical and physical conditionn of works of art produced in the period from the 15th to the 20th century. Studiess of historical paint manufacturing and workshop practice must give insight intoo the nature of the painters' media and the painting technique used originally. Fundamentall studies on varnishes, paint, and colorants are undertaken to understandd the molecular aspects of ageing since this is thought to be a main cause forr the continued need to treat paintings. Thiss report is the eighth in a series of MOLART reports that will summarise all researchh results obtained in the course of the project.
