Medieval painters built up a tremendous range of technical resources for obtaining brilliance and permanence. In this publication, Daniel V. Thompson describes these often jealously guarded recipes, lists of materials and processes. Based upon years of study this book discusses carriers and grounds, binding media, pigments and colouring materials.

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