The article presents generalized data on artistic pigments of more than a thousand Russian icons of the Synodal period (18th — early 20 th centuries) from various art centers; the research was submitted at the State Research Institute for Restoration (GOSNIIR) since the 1990s. Most of the icons were created in the Old Believer environment, but their artistic materials are characteristic for all the late Russian icon painting. As a result of chemical analysis, the following pigments were found: blue — blue verditer, Prussian blue, indigo, smalt, cobalt blue, artificial ultramarine blue, in very rare cases — natural ultramarine blue (found only in the Urals icons); green — glauconite, copper resinate, natural malachite, emerald green (copper acetoarsenite), viridian (hydrated chromium oxide); yellow — ochre, orpiment, chrome yellow, cadmium yellow, Mars yellow, yellow organic pigments, in rare cases — Naples yellow; red — vermilion, red ochre, red organic pigments, rarely — Mars red, and cadmium sulfoselenide (since the 1920s); orange — red lead, realgar, and crocoite (the last two pigments are characteristic of the Urals icons); white — lead white, zinc white. These pigments were used both in pure form and in mixtures. For example, green colour could be made by mixing yellow and blue pigments, and orange colour — by mixing red and yellow ones. This assortment of pigments and the time limits for their use are of practical importance for the attribution of Russian icons. The article is an updated version of the only systematic long-term study of materials of late Russian icon painting, conducted at GOSNIIR
