Citation: Savage, Elizabeth and Sodo, Armida and Ruggiero, Ludovica and Ridolfi, Stefano and Valbonetti, Luca and Ricci, Maria Antonietta (2019) Dating of a Unique Six-Colour Relief print by Historical and Archaeometric Methods. The European Physical Journal Plus, 134 (276).

The aim of this work is the historical and archaeometric investigation of a unique six-colour single-sheet relief print on paper belonging to a private collector. It is undescribed, undated and unsigned, and it depicts Charlemagne enthroned in Aachen Cathedral. The print was tentatively dated to the 16th century based on the style and iconography. This study offers a revised dating based on stylistic analysis of the design and archaeometric investigation of the six printing inks.
