Painted beehive panels are representative examples of folk art specific and unique to Slovenia. Although without precedence in European ethnographic art, not much attention has been given in the past to the artists’ materials involved in the creation of these paintings. This study, which included three different panels (dating from the beginning of the 19th to the second half of the 20th centuries), was focused on material characterization using Raman and Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) spectroscopy (non-, minimally invasive and invasive). The analyses showed that many of the examined paint layers were composed of historically commonly available colouring agents, although less traditional ones were also detected on individual panels. Additionally, the research suggests that lipids are the main or even the sole component of the paints’ binder. This evidence corresponds fairly well with written texts of the 20th century.

彩绘蜂箱板的特征：斯洛文尼亚独特的民间艺术创造力*

彩绘蜂箱板是斯洛文尼亚特有的民间艺术的代表性例子。尽管在欧洲民族志艺术中没有先例，但过去并没有太多关注参与这些绘画创作的艺术家的材料。这项研究包括三个不同的面板（可追溯到 19 世纪初到 20 世纪下半叶），重点是使用拉曼和傅里叶变换红外光谱仪 (FTIR) 光谱仪（非、微创和侵入性）。分析表明，许多被检查的油漆层是由历史上常用的着色剂组成的，尽管在单个面板上也检测到了不那么传统的着色剂。此外，研究表明，脂质是涂料粘合剂的主要成分，甚至是唯一的成分。这一证据与 20 世纪的书面文本相当吻合。
