Smalte 💙

Das historische Pigment Smalte ist das älteste bekannte Kobaltpigment. Kremer Pigmente stellt Smalte heute durch eine berechnete Mischung aus Kobaltsalzen mit einem Glasversatz, bei etwa 1150°C her. Die Glassmasse geht dann wie ein Kuchen auf. Das geschmolzene Glas wird abgeschreckt und zu Pulver vermahlen. Je feiner es zermahlen wird, umso blasser fällt der Farbton aus. Durch Zusatz von Öl und/oder Harzlösung wird dies zum Teil wieder ausgeglichen.

Smalt is the oldest known man-made cobalt blue pigment. It is a potash silicate strongly colored with cobalt oxide. Following a 19th century recipe it is melted at about 1150°C, quenched and ground to a powder. The finer the powder the more the pigment turns pale. The addition of oil and/or a resin solution will weaken this effect. Smalt is basically suitable for all applications, but it may be a laborious process to grind and finally mix it with the medium. Besides its use in restoration, Smalt typically serves as pigments for ceramic glazes, glass paint or enamel.

A years-long restoration undertaken by the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden has entirely altered the understanding of a 17th-century painting by the Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer. What was once thought to be a somewhat glum depiction of a young girl reading near a window is now an amorous por...
