Qualitative investigations of pigments and dyes using micro X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (micro-XRF) and visible spectrophotometry (VIS) are suitable non-destructive methods for the characterization of different colorants in art objects. In this study, several rare coloured engravings from the work of Albrecht Dürer-and, in addition, from the work of Cornelis Cort, Servatius Raeven and Johannes Sadeler-were investigated. The analyses result in specific palettes of colours that were used by different artists or in different workshops for the coloration of engraved images. Starting from these different palettes, it is possible to distinguish coeval colorations that were added in the 16th century from those that were carried out at a later date (e.g., the 19th century).
