The Materials of Medieval Painting: The Materials and Techniques of Medieval Painting

 
The Materials of Medieval Painting: The Materials and Techniques of Medieval Painting

Description

2019 Reprint of 1936 U.S. Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. Professor Thompson has written an extremely interesting and valuable book on a subject very rarely dealt with, the materials used by medieval painters, or as he calls it, " the cookery of art." In the first chapter the author discusses the various types of surfaces employed by the medieval painters, such as parchment, vellum, wood, walls, and canvas. In chapter two he deals with the different binding media that had to be used to bind the pigments to the different types of surfaces. The third and longest chapter deals with the pigments themselves. This book, written in a very pleasing style, will appeal not only to those interested in medieval painting itself, but to anyone who wishes further knowledge on various medieval plants, and on certain chemical problems of the Middle Ages.
