Based on authentic medieval manuscripts and laboratory analysis, this volume explains carriers and grounds, binding media, pigments, and coloring materials used to obtain brilliance and permanence. "A rich feast." - The Times (London). Medieval painters built up a tremendous range of technical resources for obtaining brilliance and permanence. In this volume, an internationally known authority on medieval paint technology describes these often jealously guarded recipes, lists of materials, and processes. Based upon years of study of medieval manuscripts and enlarged by laboratory analysis of medieval paintings, this book discusses carriers and grounds, binding media, pigments, coloring materials, and metals used in painting. It describes the surfaces that the medieval artist painted upon, detailing their preparation. It analyzes binding media, discussing relative merits of glair versus gums, oil glazes, and other matters.

Simply written, easy to read, this book will be invaluable to art historians, students of medieval painting and civilization, and historians of culture.
