abstract = {Keeping agents that cause biodeterioration under control is a common task in restoring
and conserving artworks. However, there are very few studies, specifically those concentrating on
pictorial works, that provide solutions compatible with the complex mix of organic and inorganic
materials to be found in such cultural assets. This study aims to use biocide products that are
commonly used in this field (benzalkonium chloride, o-phenylphenol, and tributyltin naphthenate)
and which are associated with natural varnishes with a long tradition in artistic practices, in order to
protect paintings and polychrome sculptures from environmental fungi and bacteria without altering
the original materials or the visual appearance of the artworks. The effectiveness or innocuousness of
the treatments was tested chemically and visually via optical microscopy, gas chromatography–mass
spectrometry (GC-MS), and a multidimensional scaling analysis (MDS); the treatments produced
good results as regards the inhibition of microbial growth and scarce interaction with the artistic
materials being studied.},
