Abstract
In this work the analysis of paint layers of Russian icons of the 16th-19th centuries was carried out by means of X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. The data obtained on the elemental composition of pigments made it possible to identify them. Main problems of identification were described in this paper. The results of the research will be used to create a database of XRF-spectra of pigments, which were used by Russian icon painters of certain schools and time periods.
