The Techniques and Materials of Medieval Painting

The Techniques and Materials of Medieval Painting

The book includes four chapters:

• The first chapter focuses on the “supports” (parchment, wood, canvas, walls, and wooden structural elements).
• The second chapter discusses the “binders,” the methods of their use, and how they function.
• The third chapter refers to the colours and how they are made.
• Finally, the fourth chapter refers to metals, particularly gold, and the various ways it is used and processed.

The topics it addresses, along with the writing style, make the book a valuable resource for specialists (artists, conservators) and an enjoyable, if not captivating, read even for non-specialists
