Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the significance of oil painting's introduction and adoption by Italian artists during the Early Renaissance. Exploring the shift from tempera, the author identifies the gradual dissemination of the new technique in Florence toward the end of the 15th century, tracing its likely origins and early history. The text assesses major artists, their styles, and their utilization of this new painting medium. The author delves into the motivations behind the technique's swift adoption by Italian artists, highlighting particular works and case studies to demonstrate the rapid development and embrace of oil painting in this period. Through technical analysis of the works of notable artists like Botticelli, Ghirlandaio, and other contemporaries, the author reveals why oil painting ultimately prevailed as the preferred medium of great Italian Renaissance painters.
