abstract = {Emerald green, a copper acetoarsenite pigment, enriched the
19th-century and 20th-century artists’ palettes andcaused
darkening and fragilities in paintings. The accepted
alteration mechanism involves the oxidation of triar-senite
ions [(As3O6)3−] to arsenates (AsO43−), although
questions about the promoting factors and the origin ofthe
oxidized arsenic remain unanswered. This study investigates
the primary environmental parameters inducingalteration in
the oil binder and elucidates the associated degradation
pathways through a multiscale analyticalapproach, including
noninvasive spectroscopic techniques and synchrotron
radiation–based x-ray methods. Bycombining results from a
historical oil painting by James Ensor (1860 to 1949) and
artificially aged paint mock-ups, we identified ultraviolet
A–visible light and humidity (relative humidity ≥
$95\%)$ as key driving factors, induc-ing a dual degradation
pathway: Light promotes surface-stratified arsenic oxidation
(As3+ →→ As5+) resulting inamorphous As5+- rich
compounds, whereas a dark, high moisture environment favors
arsenolite (As₂O₃) crystalli-zation. In addition, a
noninvasive analytical strategy is proposed for monitoring
the conservation state of emeraldgreen paints in historical
artworks.},
