Abstract
This paper presents analysis of Valencian paintings from the fourteenth to the seventeenth century, to provide a scientific study of the development of this style of painting and innovations in painting technique. Four altarpieces representing this period have been examined. Microscopical, SEM-EDX and XRD techniques have been used to identify the support and characterize the grounds, the priming layers and the pigments used in each work. The binding media were analysed by microchemical tests, FTIR and GC-MS providing confirmation of the hypothesis that an oil painting technique appeared in this geographical area at the beginning of the period studied.
