The present study sought to expand on and confirm the already available information on the painting materials used by the Venetian artist Guido Cadorin (1892–1976). A multi-analytical approach was employed in the study of six tempera grassa easel paintings and one casein tempera on a panel signed by the artist and belonging to the International Gallery of Modern Art Ca’ Pesaro in Venice, Italy, which dated from 1921 to 1951. The aim of the research was to identify the painting materials, observe the evolution of the color palette through time and assess the state of conservation. Non-invasive imaging and/or spectroscopic techniques were employed, such as hyperspectral imaging spectroscopy (HSI) and Raman spectroscopy. Microsamples were also collected from the edges and detached areas of the canvases that were studied through three non-destructive techniques, namely optical microscopy (OM), energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence spectrometry (EDXRF) and attenuated total reflection fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), and one destructive technique, namely gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The results allowed the inference of the color palette used to render the artist’s paints, composition of the preparation layer, and characterization of the binding media and varnish layers. Moreover, the state of conservation of the artworks was determined. Thus, the outcome of this research enriches the painter’s profile and might aid the International Gallery of Modern Art Ca’ Pesaro in Venice, Italy in the planning of future conservation treatments in accordance with the guidelines of good practices in art conservation.
