Rediscover the forgotten techniques of the Old Masters in this comprehensive two-volume set. From the chemistry of natural pigments to the geometry of composition, this collection bridges the gap between the painter’s craft and the intellectual process.
Volume I: Natural Color. A practical guide to preparing and using natural mineral pigments—like lapis lazuli and azurite—creating a luminosity that modern synthetic paints cannot match.
Volume II: Proportion and Composition An exploration of the strict geometric planning and Euclidean proportions that defined Renaissance composition, based on X-ray and infrared analysis.
