Abstract
The purpose of this work was to analyze lead white pigment from icons of 15 th–18 th centuries, collected at the Orthodox Art Department at the Castle Museum in Łancut, using instrumental neutron activation analysis. The results allowed to identify the concentration of trace elements in 37 samples collected. 40 elements were identified and determined. The cluster analysis using STATISTICA (StatSoft) programme was carried out to identify the similarity degree of the analyzed objects. The aforementioned comparisons indicated that the lead white used in the analyzed icon paintings, constituted a unified, very typical group that had underwent changes with time, came from sources different than lead white used in Malopolska and Silesian Polish school panel paintings.
